A 15-year-old girl faced a dilemma when her stepmother threatened to take 20% of the money she earned from selling handcrafted items as punishment for breaking curfew. In response, she moved the money to a different account to prevent her stepmother from accessing it. However, her actions have caused a rift in her family, with her father, upset that she did not trust him enough to protect her money. Meanwhile, her stepmother has banned her from seeing her brother. The girl is now asking Reddit users whether she was in the wrong for moving the money. What do you think? Should she have trusted her father to protect her money, or was she right to take matters into her own hands?

15-year-old moves money to protect it from step mom's punishment
A 15-year-old girl who has been selling handcrafted items revealed that she moved her money from a joint account with her dad after her stepmom threatened to take 20% of the money as punishment for breaking curfew. The girl was upset about the threat and moved the money to her big brother's account before opening a joint account with him. Her dad and stepmom are now furious with her and her brother. The stepmom has banned the girl from seeing her brother, and the girl's dad says he's hurt that she didn't trust him.
