This Teen Stood Up To Her Grandma Who Berated Her For Taking Her Sister Shopping After She Beat A Disease But She’s Asking The Internet If She Was Rude
A 17-year-old took her 15-year-old sister shopping to celebrate the fact that she beat a disease. Her grandmother ended up berating her for spending money on that, and she stood up to her.
She’s asking the internet if what she said to her grandma was really too rude.
This teen started out by explaining that she lives with her younger sister, her older sister who is 19, and her dad.
When her younger sister was 13, she was diagnosed with some kind of disease. Then last year, their parents got divorced.
After the divorce, her dad had a very hard time supporting all of them financially, and he ended up pretty much working himself to death and picking up tons of overtime hours.
This teen got her own job recently and insisted on helping her dad out with the bills. Eventually, he agreed to take her help but only after he said he would pay her back at some point.
She really thinks her dad bounced back to his old self after they agreed to this.
Several days ago, the family was at a local hospital to check on her younger sister’s disease, and the doctors informed all of them that she had finally beat it for good.
“So I decided that we of course had to celebrate,” she said. “I asked my dad if it was ok for me to spend this month’s salary on going shopping with her, and he said that of course, it was.”

“When I told my sister, she got so excited, especially because we never ever do stuff like this.”
“We had such a good time together and I decided to post a picture of the two of us carrying way too many shopping bags on my IG.”
About an hour after she posted the photo, her dad called her saying she should not pick up the phone if her grandma called because she was being nasty.
“I got a call from her literally seconds after I ended the call with my dad,” she continued.
“Me being me, I decided to pick up despite what my dad said. Curiosity got the best of me, I guess.”
“She had apparently seen my post on IG and started accusing me of being a selfish and spoiled teenager for going shopping instead of helping my dad out with the bills.”
She then blew up on her grandma for her comment, because her grandparents have never once offered to help her dad financially.
“And right before I hung up, I told her “hmm, at least I work for my money, the same thing couldn’t be said about you, ever”. Because she has literally never had a job in her whole life.”
Her grandma got married to her grandpa at a very young age, and she’s spent her whole life at home being a housewife.
“My dad and sisters thought it was hilarious, but I’m starting to wonder if I went too far on that comment.”
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“You’re a minor. The fact that you’re even helping out with the bills of your own volition at all is above and beyond what can reasonably be expected of you.”
“Your grandma is so far out of line.”
“I got choked up reading this. You’re a good sister/daughter and your family is lucky to have you. Congratulations to your other sister for beating her illness! Sisters are the best.”
“You’re 17, you shouldn’t be responsible for the family bills regardless.”
“You’re really sweet for taking your money and spending it on your sister.”
“Your grandma clearly already talked to your dad and he probably told her the same thing. She overstepped and got what she deserved.”
“You’re a great big sister and it sounds like a great daughter as well. I hope things get easier for your dad and family. Congrats to your sis on a clean bill of health!”
“At the end of the day, you’ve contributed more into your household than your grandma has and you even asked your dad if he was ok with you skipping a single month to celebrate your sister beating her disease so your grandma can pound sand.”
