One expectant mother became quite irritated after her best buddy, who is a stepmother to her husband's 13-year-old son, began doling out unsolicited parenting advice when her friend became pregnant.

Are all moms created equal? One mom-to-be doesn't think so. After becoming pregnant with her first child, she found that her best friend suddenly became an expert on parenting advice and wouldn't stop giving "little gems of parenting wisdom" to her!

According to The Stir, the mother-to-be wrote into Slate's Care and Feeding advice column, explaining that her longtime friend, Nicole, is married to a man named Joe. Joe has full-time custody of his 13-year-old son and Nicole luckily took to being a stepmother to Joe's son very well.

Unfortunately for Nicole's pregnant letter-writing advice-seeking friend, however, Nicole took this experience to mean that she was now that parenting expert. Or so the pregnant friend thought.

The friend doesn't think that because Nicole is "just a stepmom" and doesn't have any biological children of her own that means that she has a right to compare the two situations. The anonymous letter that was presented to Slate has actually created quite a stir with much debate and two camps have been formed.

"I am expecting my first child, and Nicole keeps equating my motherhood with being a stepmom," the pregnant friend wrote. "She keeps trying to give me advice and platitudes about parenthood. Nicole has a lot of experience, but I don’t think our situations are the same. I’m getting ready to bring a baby from my body into the world, which is something she hasn’t experienced."

She went on to state that through she commends Nicole for being a lovely stepmother, her friend can be "touchy and temperamental." She really just wants to tell her to back off but instead finds herself distancing herself from her longtime pal.

Many of the commenters found the pregnant writer harsh and judgmental. One person called her a "terrible friend" and suggested that she should "explore why this bothers you so much?"

Perhaps columnist Rumaan Alam put it best by simply stating, "I've read and reread your letter so many times. I wonder whether or not you have?"Ouch! Alam concluded by suggesting that the letter writer treat her longtime friend in a more generous manner but there were some commenters who had the pregnant pal's back.
