We're back here again with yet another AITA thread post from Reddit, where people usually come to get unbiased opinions from situations that they normally might tell their friends or family about. Sometimes, though, it's best to just get opinions from people on the internet that have no direct link to you or anything about you.

With this being said, we're looking at a post today that was submitted by a woman who wants to know if she's wrong for allowing her 9-year-old to do things that she doesn't allow her other kids to do. She says her 9yo is very smart, and so that's why she trusts them to get things done.

Ultimately, people had so much to say, and most of it wasn't even about the situation of her letting her daughter do something that she doesn't let the others do. A lot of the comments were directed towards favoritism and even the unsafeness of allowing her daughter to go into the store alone.

If you're interested in hearing the full situation and seeing OP's original post then keep on reading as we dive in and check out the full post, as well as the best comments that were left on it as well.

OP's post was pretty straightforward and she begins it by explaining how her daughter is compared to the other kids and why she allows her daughter to do more.

She wants to know if she's in the wrong for allowing her daughter to do things that she doesn't allow her other kids to do simply because they are more mature and smarter.

People weren't really happy about OP's choices here and it seems like a lot of people came to her letting her know she is indeed in the wrong.

Many people thought maybe this wasn't real because of the outrageous situation they were describing but who knows if it's real or not.

People are thinking that this is fake simply because it doesn't sound like something a 9yo would do or something that a mom would allow their 9yo to do.

We're not sure how we feel about leaving a 9yo in the store either but to teach their own I guess.

The mom is definitely favoring one child even though it might be for somewhat good reasons but she should at least allow the other kids to participate.

This is definitely the biggest red flag because the other kids should at least be given the opportunity to do what they can for their mom.

Many people are wondering if it is real and we don't even know honestly because it seems like the whole situation is kind of odd.

It isn't fair that she doesn't allow her other kids to do the same thing and this creates the problem for most people.

It seems like everyone is on the same page here and it seems that OP is TA for how they're acting in this situation and the unfairness of it all.

It seems like everyone says that OP is in the wrong here either for allowing her daughter to go into the store alone to do this or because she is not allowing her other kids the same type of respect. Regardless, it seems like OP is in the wrong here, and we have to agree with them on this one.
