Parents who never say no to their kids and spoil them rotten are doing their kids a disservice. Their spoiled children will grow up and become entitled adults who throw tantrums when they don't get their way.
Our 17-year-old OP lives with a 13-year-old who always gets her way. OP is currently staying with her dad while her mom is overseas to take care of her ailing grandfather.
Her dad lives with his girlfriend of two years who has a daughter of her own. OP is slowly adjusting to life with her dad since they only spent weekends together before this.
Living with a spoiled teenager has made things even tougher for OP. She spends most of her time in her room to avoid the doting mom and her daughter.
She couldn't avoid them on this specific day because her dad asked her to go out with them. The teenager passed a math test that deserved a special day just for her.
OP's dad asked her to go with them for a "girl's day out" and gave his $300 to splurge on. OP wanted to say no but she knew her dad wanted her to bond with them, so OP went along with it.
They spent the entire day in the mall going to stores the girlfriend's daughter liked where she bought a ton of clothes, makeup, and other things. On their way home, they stopped at Starbucks because the daughter wanted a drink and some cake pops.
Her dad's girlfriend ordered two drinks and two cake pops, so OP asked if she can order something she wanted
u/pottAH__Her dad's girlfriend replied that she ran out of money and will make sure to get something for OP next time
u/pottAH__OP then asked if she can have one of the cake pops but the girlfriend said she didn't do anything that deserved being rewarded
u/pottAH__OP got upset and when her dad asked her where her drink was, OP said that she wasn't allowed to order one since she didn't deserve it
The dad's girlfriend got upset and said OP was twisting her words. Her daughter said OP was just being greedy because she was jealous of her but was OP really wrong for wanting a drink or a snack of her own?
u/pottAH__No matter which way you twist the story, there is no way the girlfriend comes out looking like an angel
FoolMe1nceShameOnUA $3 cake pop is nothing relative to the $300 allowance OP's dad gave them for the day. It was meant to be spent on all of them.
pottAH__, tulipbunnysEven if it was just her day, OP should have at least been fed
bloodfeier, pottAH__What kind of an adult does this to their partner's child? In what world does she live in that made her think this was in any way fine?
[deleted]OP was asked a question and she simply answered. It's not her fault the answer made the girlfriend look like a terrible person, which she is.
blueavoleThe $3 cake pop wouldn't make the rest of the $297 rewards insignificant
pottAH__Greed is not a good look on anyone and spoiling your kid is just setting her up for failure
DeVitreousHumorOP deserves all the cake pop and more for enduring how her dad's girlfriend treated her on their outing
DragonCelicaThis teenager didn't play into the game the girlfriend was trapping her into. She was composed and calm but she didn't let her walk all over her.
DragonCelicaShe tried her hardest to make OP feel unwanted and undeserving of a freaking $3 treat. Who does that? OP should be proud for how maturely she handled everything.
DragonCelicaShe was so unnecessarily hostile towards OP, the daughter of her boyfriend she lives with, and tried to change the narrative when the truth came out
BlueBelle2019At the end of the day, goal accomplished: OP really did get to know the new people in her father's life
SidneyrebAsking the real questions I see
YeeHawMiMawIt's good to know that OP's dad will always support and choose her
pottAH__We really would and OP didn't fail us (like she didn't fail herself)
AdEmpty4390Oh, to be a fly on the wall during that talk. Good for you dad! There's too many stories where the parents fail to listen to their kid and dismiss their valid concerns.
pottAH__This would be a deal breaker for me if I were in the father's shoes. Anyone who would treat my child so cruelly is not a person I would want around.
It looks like it's the same case for OP's dad. Do you think the girlfriend learned something from what happened or do you think she's throwing an adult tantrum for suffering the consequences of her cruel behavior?
