Teenager 'gatekeeps' feminine products from stepsisters, says, 'I have my reasons.'

When this teenage girl is upset with her stepsisters, she asks Reddit:&quot;AITA for not giving my step-sisters access to my hygiene drawer?&quot; I&#39;ll began by saying that both families are mostly girls, mom has 2 step-daughters (17F and 15F) and my dad has 3 step-daughters and 1 bio-son (18F, 15F, 12F and 5M), and there&#39;s me 16F).  Since my mom has only girls, my dad don&#39;t know anything about girl products and I&#39;m not comfortable telling those things to my step-mom, my mom takes care of my hygiene products...  (mostly pads, skincare, makeup wipes, etc), at her house, she was a small cabinet full of these things (like tiktok restocking vids) that she restocks every month or every 6 weeks, I take some of these things to my dad&#39;s because I spend 2-3 weeks there.  I began to have problems when my step-sisters from my dad&#39;s side entered my room and took my things without asking, they wore my clothes, my accessories, my shoes and then took the things my mom bought for me, I complained to my dad, but he didn&#39;t do anything...  he also didn&#39;t allow me to put a lock in my room so my mom bought me two tall lockers to put my fave things there, my dad and step-mom didn&#39;t like this, but didn&#39;t say anything either when my step-dad installed them in my room.  Since I keep most of my hygiene products in my bathroom the lockers didn&#39;t stop my step-sisters from taking my pads, skincare and stuff, it was annoying because when I needed or wanted to use MY things, they&#39;re gone, so my step-dad bought me a small cabined with locked drawers to keep it.  They complained at this because my dad is aware that my mom has a cabinet stocked with these kind of products and doesn&#39;t know why &#39;&#39;we can&#39;t share&#39;&#39;, apparently, they stopped buying these things to my sisters because they knew I had them at home.  Yesterday, my step-sister (15F) came to my room and asked me for a pad, I was annoyed, yes, but you never say no to a pad, so I went to my bathroom and unlocked the drawer, when I grabbed the bag to take one, she snatched it from my hands and say &#39;&#39;thanks&#39;&#39;, I say &#39;&#39;wait&#39;&#39; and snatched it back...  I gave her only one and then tossed the rest to my drawer and locked it, she said she needed more for her period and I said that she should hurry up and ask her mom for a bag because I won&#39;t share more, she called me an AH...  and went to accuse me with my dad who demanded I share my drawer with my sisters but I just say no, he grounded me and I&#39;m not allowed to get out of my room now. Maybe I took it to far? AITA? Let&#39;s find out.nutmeshell writes: NTA. Your mother is not responsible for seeing to the hygiene needs of children who aren&rsquo;t her own.
