She Told Her 21-Year-Old Daughter That If She Wants To Move Back In, She Has To Give Away Her Big Dog And Go To College
A woman has a daughter who is 21-years-old, and they are from New York. She says that she’s pretty much in the middle class, and since her husband was having a hard time at work, they made the choice to retire on the earlier side, pick up, and move down to Florida.
Right after her 21-year-old daughter graduated from high school, she opted to not go to college. Instead, her daughter wanted to “have fun” so, she ended up just working a couple of jobs that paid minimum wage.
In order for her daughter to attend college, she would have needed to get about $9,000 in loans to be able to afford it without holding down a part-time job, and her daughter wasn’t interested in doing that.
Her daughter also thought that because she’s extremely gorgeous, it would be somewhat viable for her to pursue a career as an influencer, and over the last 3 years, that’s what her daughter has invested a lot of time into.
“She works at a retail store with her friends, but often takes trips and gives away shifts,” she explained.
“This is really our fault. We didn’t know how to handle this. We didn’t want to squelch her influencer dream – so we kept quiet for a long stretch.”
“I cleaned her room and made her meals so she could focus on her influencer job. The dog was really the first wow moment where we realized that she didn’t care about us or boundaries.”
2 months before she and her husband moved to Florida, her daughter decided to buy a $1,500 dog that’s definitely on the larger side, even though this mom told her no.
The very first evening that her daughter brought the dog home, the dog had accidents all over the house and cried throughout the night.

Meanwhile, her daughter went out partying and then slept at her boyfriend’s place instead of taking care of her dog.
The dog ended up being such a problem for this mom, and it caused so much damage that when her house finally did sell, it sold for $10,000 to $20,000 under what they could have gotten for it.
Then, as she and her husband were getting ready to leave the state, she told her daughter that she could move back in with them down there, but only if she adhered to a couple of rules.
“When we sold the NY house and started planning our move to Florida, we stipulated that she could move with us, but had to go to college and find a home for the dog,” she said.
“She was furious and told everyone that we “abandoned” her. She rushed off and married this guy she didn’t love who had money so she’d have a place to stay, and now blames us for her crappy marriage.”
This mom is left wondering if it was mean of her to give her daughter 2 tasks to complete in order to be able to come to Florida too.
Do you think it’s reasonable of her to ask this of her daughter?
