Mom Refuses to Pay for Daughter’s Acne Scar Removal

A 48-year-old mom finds herself in a heated debate with her 22-year-old daughter over whether or not she should pay for her daughter’s acne scar removal surgery. The mom had previously promised to pay off her daughter’s university degree, which she did, but now her daughter wants her to cover the cost of the surgery as well. The daughter argues that since there’s still money left over after paying her tuition, she’s entitled to it. Let’s dive into this family drama!

After a heated debate, the mom agrees to pay for her daughter’s acne scar removal surgery. However, she sets new conditions: she will no longer cover her daughter’s car insurance, car payments, gas, and cell phone, and her daughter must move out in 3 months.
