The adults in her life failed her. I have always been a little suspicious of alternative schooling methods. I know that there are some parents out there who are completely competent at teaching their kids from Kindergarten to 12th grade, but I highly doubt that’s the majority of homeschoolers. Most of the time, kids who …

16-year-old refuses to give his unemployed 53-year-old father $200 a month for gas money: ‘If you weren’t this bad off before I got a job, why are you now?’
How shameless can you be? It’s pretty common for teenagers to ask their parents for money, only to be told, «Get a job!» It’s perfectly reasonable to expect a 16-year-old to work for their own pocket change in order to teach them the value of the dollar. It’s much less common for that dynamic to …

23-year-old uninvites her mom from her college graduation after she demanded that she give her all of her savings: ‘I don’t want someone who sees me as an ATM sitting in the crowd.’
Her daughter has saved every cent she has earned so she can move out of her mom’s house as soon as possible. Some parents make it their life’s mission to do everything they can to support their child, while also taking care of their own retirement so their child doesn’t have to take on the …

18-year-old forbids 13-year-old sister from coming over to her house after she cut her doll’s hair: ‘She’s old enough to know right from wrong and this was unforgivable.’
If a 3-year-old cuts a doll’s hair, you could argue that they didn’t know any better. There is no world where a normal 13-year-old doesn’t know that it’s wrong to damage her sister’s property. One of the greatest inventions in the history of humankind is the American Girl Doll Hospital. American Girl Doll Hospitals are …

16-year-old refuses to share her bed with her 18-year-old cousin, who her mom favors over her: ‘Whenever my cousin is over, my mother basically forgets about me.’
She shouldn’t have to share her bed with someone who is mean to her. What do you do when you have a guest stay at your house overnight when you don’t have a guest room? Do you let them sleep in your bed, or do you make them sleep on the couch? I’ve done both: …

GloRilla’s sister calls rapper out for not financially supporting her parents and 10 siblings: ‘My mama is still working at FedEx.’
There’s no way she can support 12 adults and herself indefinitely. There’s a good reason why some people don’t talk about money with friends or family. The second a leech has an inkling that you have money to spare, they will sniff that out and do everything they can to slurp it out of you. …

Mom takes 60% of the money her 13-year-old daughter earned from tutoring, insists she’s entitled to $25 of every $40 her daughter earns for household expenses: ‘She kept the money in her bag and wouldn’t let me see it.’
She didn’t tell her daughter that she’d be taking more than half of the money she made from tutoring until after the fact. Any kid who has the gusto to work for money before they even turn 16 is setting themselves up for success. There are 13- and 14-year-olds out there with huge babysitting empires …

Parents refuse to buy glasses for their 16-year-old daughter because they think eating certain foods will heal her eyes: ‘My dad said I just need to get off my phone to heal my eyes.’
In what world does eating carrots actually heal somebody’s bad eyesight? Some people resist getting glasses because «technically, their eyesight isn’t that bad.» I’ve never understood this as someone who used to see everything blurry, but now gets to enjoy the world’s clarity through two beautiful contact lenses. I remember when I first got glasses …

Mom kicks out 18-year-old son so her boyfriend of 3 months can move in: ‘I deserve love after being alone raising you for 18 years.’
She doesn’t deserve to call herself a mother. Parents don’t technically have to house, clothe, and feed their children when they turn 18. Once you’re a legal adult, you can make your own choices and go out on your own, but most 18-year-olds don’t choose to leave home the second they turn 18 unless there …

Mom allows her 13-year-old daughter’s friend to spend $100 on Roblox gift cards for her and her daughter, doesn’t ask her daughter’s friend’s mom for permission: ‘Why would her mom do that?’
She should never let her have a play date at their house again. A good rule of thumb when deciding whether to let your kid hang out with another kid without you supervising is not to agree to a hangout before you’ve met the other kid’s parents. You might not be able to tell everything …
