A Family Feud Over Curfew: Who’s Right, Who’s Wrong? ⏰
This isn’t your typical family drama. It’s a tale of a teen star, her struggling parents, and a curfew controversy that’s got everyone talking. The teen, who’s been footing the family bills for years, was grounded by her dad for breaking an 11pm curfew. But mom stepped in, ungrounding her and sparking a feud that’s got the internet picking sides. Is dad right to enforce rules in a house his daughter pays for? Or is mom justified in ungrounding her hardworking daughter? Let’s see what the world thinks about this unusual family dynamic…
Teen star supports family, but strict dad and mooching mom.

“YTA. 11 pm curfew reasonable. Daughter disrespectful. Husband deserves respect.”

Parenting and money: Who’s in charge?

Teen daughter pays bills, but dad sets curfew? YTA needs therapy!

“YTA an 11 pm curfew isn’t strict for a 15 yo. The way she behaved screams beat. Second, my husband tries to treat her like a child. Well she’s 15 with rules to follow that aren’t unreasonable. AITA? I feel like my husband is robbing our daughter of her agency and this is a shitty way of repaying her for her supporting us until he finds better work. If you don’t want your daughter’s money to go towards rent and bills, how about you find a job. Your husband isn’t the only adult living in that household. You should work and earn money for bills and rent and you should also keep your daughter grounded. You should also have your daughter follow her parent’s rules.” – Fiery debate over curfew and financial responsibility!

You are doing nothing but spending your child’s money and treating her like she is in charge. All you are doing is using her and putting her in danger.”
