“AITA for asking my daughter what college she decided on?” Posted by u/indyarchyguy
The comment section
“I like that line of thinking. Guess I need to cut that cord.” said OP.
“Agree with this. You can just let her know that you will not be doing X bank stuff currently, the delays will create Y consequences, so she should prepare to do Z. Hey hon, we’ll wait for you to tell us where you’re going to do bank stuff. So you might have to get a job in the summer to pay for these college things and maybe look into additional part time work during college. I can’t think of a good example bc she should be doing these things anyway. You can be responsible for tuition and maybe housing, but pocket change should come out of work or loaned from you.” said u/shade_ghost.
“I wouldn’t even say anything to her, OP gave his reasons why he wanted to know and she would rather have fun screwing around. Great let her screw around, OP and wife should say nothing more, whatever happens happens, daughter is lucky to have parents who can support her like this to begin with.” said u/CTDV8R.
“This is a moment for a f around and find out lesson.” said u/RefrigeratorRich9007.
“Exactly! She sounds way too entitled. OP should say she can foot the bill if she wants to play games with her future. Real life isn’t a game ma’am. NTA OP. In fact you may want to be more strict on her just judging by the way she talks and treats you over something as small are letting you know which college she’d like YOU to pay for.” said u/capriciouskat01.
“100% this” said OP.
“This is what I would do. Then it’s on her. She’s not a child. Shes getting ready to go away to college soon. She needs to grow up.” said u/ughneedausername.
“My read of things is that she’s probably been helicopter parented, and this is the result. But if she’s tossed off the deep end that way she’s likely to crash and burn. OP should not do this unless he no longer loves his daughter and wishes to see her fail. The middle ground is to have her take on the bulk of the administrative responsibility of the college and housing application process without withdrawing support and a safety net to fall back on. I didn’t have this sort of cushy life either, but I’m genuinely shocked at the people who are essentially suggesting that OP’s daughter should be left out in the cold. It’s spite and not helpful.” said u/hellolittleredruby.
