Teenager furious over mom’s ‘unfair’ financial move: ‘You have to be fair’

A mother agreed to let her 18-year-old daughter geta dog on the condition that the teen took care of it.However, things took a turn and the mom went onReddit’s “Am I the A******” forum for advice.“I told my daughter that she could get a dogas long as she researched and understoodwhat she was getting herself into, was 100 percentresponsible for its care and training”.“I work two jobs (one full time as a teacherand part-time to make ends meet) and did not needor want the responsibility of another pet”.Her daughter ended up gettinga “giant breed puppy”.Though the mom said she’s been “doing well”with training and taking care of the dog, they gotinto a fight when her daughter realized her momwould not be paying for the dog’s food.“She got mad and said we never discussedshe would pay the cost of the dog food” .“[She said] that me not giving her the fullamount she was expecting has shorted her interms of Christmas gifts for her father (who,by the way, doesn’t even pay child support)”.Reddit users shared their thoughts with themother, and overwhelmingly sided with her.“Sounds like your daughter didn’t understandthat 100% responsibility also meant financialresponsibility,” one person wrote
