She Confronted Her Parents About Her Sister Getting To Attend A Better Summer Camp, And Her Parents Called Her A Brat
A 14-year-old girl has a sister who is a year older than she is, and every single summer, their mom and dad send them to different sleepaway summer camps.
Her sister always gets to go to a super fun-sounding camp while she’s stuck attending a pretty lame one.
“My sister has this immune system thing, and she goes to a 2-week camp for free for people with the same condition as her,” she explained.
“She’s taken pictures, and the cabins are less crowded, the bathrooms are nicer, they have 3 pools, they have archery, horseback riding, canoeing, hiking, casino nights, astronomy nights (people bring telescopes and they stay up late looking at stars and planets), game nights, and they have actual chefs that cook their food.”
In contrast, her mom and dad send her away to a local church camp that’s pretty cheap to go to. Her camp is literally in the “middle of nowhere,” and there is nothing but farms around them.
Her camp does have a pool and a little playground, but to her, it’s the kind of place that stops being a good time past the age of 8-years-old.
Another thing about her camp that she dislikes is that they will not allow her to have any technology, which her parents think is a good thing for her.
“We do have some fun activities and competitions, but there’s also a lot of free time where there isn’t that much to do except hang out with the other girls,” she said.
“You can’t even flirt with any of the guys because there’s an 85% chance that you’re somehow related.”

A summer ago, when her mom and dad brought up camp for this year, she said she wasn’t going to be going unless they could send her to a camp just like her sister’s. While her parents did find a similar camp, it cost 3 times the amount of her current camp, so they refused to send her.
Instead, they offered to let her go spend a whole week with her grandma if she didn’t want to go to the camp she normally goes to. She picked her camp over her grandma’s place since she thinks her grandma is “more boring” than her camp.
Not too long ago, her parents brought up the camp plans for summer 2023, and she began griping about how the week she spends at camp is the worst week of her summer.
Her parents were not pleased with her response, and they informed her that if she was able to find a camp that cost less than $400, they would be happy to send her somewhere else.
“They’re calling me ungrateful and a brat…” she continued. She’s left wondering if she is acting spoiled about camp. What do you think?
