Who’s Right, Who’s Wrong? The Family Feud Rages On!

In this family drama, the roles are reversed as the teenage daughter becomes the breadwinner, while the parents grapple with their new reality. Dad tries to enforce a curfew, but the daughter, who’s footing the bills, isn’t having it. Mom steps in, ungrounds her, and a heated debate ensues. Is it fair to enforce rules when the child is the one paying the bills? Or should the daughter respect the rules of the house, regardless of who’s paying? Let’s see how the internet weighs in on this family feud!

Teen star supports family, but dad’s strict curfew causes conflict!

“YTA. A 15 year old should have some sort of discipline. 11 pm is a reasonable curfew and your daughter was incredibly disrespectful to her dad. By ungrounding her, you not only endorsed her bad behavior but further rebuked any authority your husband may have had. You are not acting as a partner or a parent. Also, maybe both you and your husband should focus on working instead of mooching off your child.”

Parents taking money from their child’s earnings? ESH!

“YTA Sabotaging the other parent is never a good move.”

“YTA an 11 pm curfew isn’t strict for a 15 yo. The way she behaved screams beat.”

“YTA for not presenting a united front. Daughter’s money, safety concerns.”

Parent relies on teen’s money, gets called out for it. YTA.

“What the heck. Your daughter is 15 and paying her *parents* bills? I will not label her an AH. You are your husband are HUGE AH’s. What the hell. ESH.

What the heck is going on in this household. Someone please get a job and stop taking money from this literal child. What the heck did I just read.

Your daughter was disrespectful and that is grounds for grounding. But im sure as “happy go lucky” she’s pretending to be to pick up both yalls slack is not good for her and probably building reasonable resentment.

Also maybe I’m just a prude but what the heck is a 15 year old doing out past 11pm?? Is nobone else concerned about this?? This whole post is so weird. What a train wreck.” – Dad needs to step up! ‍

“YTA. 15 year olds need curfews. Nothing good will come of this child staying out after midnight. Think inappropriate sex & drugs & alcohol. I see no reason for OP not getting even a minimum wage job & helping to support the family. Clearly she’s not doing the usual SAHM job of supervising her daughter. A 15 year old should not have to pay her parents’ bills.” – A concerned parent

YTA for making your daughter pay the bills? Seriously?

“YTA. Your daughter is 15. I was hoping you would say that you have medical problems that prevent you from working. But to hear that you don’t work because you choose not to is unbelievable. 11pm is a reasonable curfew for a 15 yo. You undermine your husband when the two of you should be a united front. You feel that because your daughter is the breadwinner she should be allowed to do what she wants. You’re treating her like a full adult rather than your child. Also, you seem to have no back up plan if your daughter decides to go to college or no longer wants to work in media. Do you even want her to go college or do you just expect her to pay for everything until you die? You’re forcing her to grow up faster and take on responsibility sooner than she should. A minor child should never have to care for an able bodied parent. This will certainly lead your daughter to resent you later down the line. Edit: Rewrote my post.” – Engaging comment and concerns about parenting choices.
