3 Intense Stories of Children Turning Against Their Parents

Years later, at 21, Maria reached out to her mom again. Her father had remarried and kicked her out, so she contacted her mom, saying she wanted to move back home.

Although the mother was open to letting Maria move back in, she set specific conditions for her to meet first.

The rules included getting her GED, working at least 25 hours a week, and attending school to plan her future. Maria also had to buy her personal items and help with household chores, though she wouldn’t be required to pay rent.

The mother also made it clear she didn’t want Maria partying every night. However, she was fine with her daughter enjoying herself on the weekends.

After hearing these conditions, Maria became upset, called her mother crazy and a horrible parent, and walked out, saying she had no interest in following the rules.

The mother shared her story on Reddit and received support from others. Many felt she was doing the right thing, with one commenter stating that Maria’s reaction showed she didn’t want a real relationship, just an opportunity to take advantage of her mother again.

Many Reddit users felt the mother’s conditions were fair and focused on helping Maria build a better future. Given Maria’s age, they believed she shouldn’t have opposed her mom’s reasonable expectations.
