Single Mom Tells Daughter About Financial Struggles, Friend Disagrees

In a heartwarming story of r/A***********e, a mother adopted her niece when she was just over a year old. She runs her own restaurant but the pandemic has hit the business hard. To make ends meet, she rents out a few houses and apartments. Recently, one of the apartments flooded and there was a fire at her restaurant, exacerbating their financial problems. When her best friend moved in with her to save money, the mother discussed their financial situation in front of her 8-year-old daughter. While some Redditors praised her for teaching her daughter about the value of money and the importance of saving, others criticized her for burdening her child with adult problems. What do you think? Is the mother an a**hole for telling her young daughter about their financial struggles or is it an important lesson in real-world problem-solving?

Being a single mom is tough enough, but when financial struggles hit, it can be even harder. In this post, a single mom shares her story of how she told her daughter about their financial situation after a fire at her restaurant and a costly repair. While her daughter offered to help out by selling some of her toys and setting up a lemonade stand, her friend disagreed with the mom’s decision to tell her daughter about their financial struggles. The mom’s perspective is that it’s okay to be honest with her daughter about what’s going on and to teach her about budgeting and saving. But what do you think?
