    Font - AITA for expecting my daughter to pay me and my wife back for her Uber My daughter (16) went out with her friends last week and some people my daughter doesn't like showed up. My daughter called my wife and said that she was uncomfortable and asked my wife to pick her up. My wife was in an appointment and I was at work so my wife called her an Uber. Every time my wife or I call her an Uber, she's had to pay us back so when my daughter got home, I asked her for the money. She asked what I

    Font - I asked my wife why she told our daughter she didn't have to pay us back and she was surprised that I asked. She said she wasn't going to charge our daughter for getting out of a situation where she was uncomfortable. We got into an argument about it because Uber isn't cheap and I don't think my daughter not wanting to be around certain people justifies us having to pay for her Uber. She took our daughter out to eat and won't talk to me so I wanted to know if I was the a hole 14.8k 3.7k ↑

    Rectangle - saltycybele · 1d YTA. Wow. I even tell my kid's friends that if they are in an uncomfortable situation and can't get in touch with their parents to call me, I will come get them. Your daughter now knows she can't count on you. G Reply 329 3 ..

    Font - Apprehensive_Lab_139 · 1d Partassipant [1] Dude... Of course YTA. She's your daughter, not to mention only 16 years old! Why would you expect her to pay for an Uber that she needed for a legit reason? She took it to escape a weird or sketch situation. If you don't wanna pay for Ubers anymore, either help her get a license, give her a ride, or find a friend or relative to help. Don't base your relationship with her on minor transactions because parents are meant to help out their kids when

    Rectangle - genericreddituser147 · 1d YTA. You know how you tell your kids that if they ever get into a situation where they feel uncomfortable or don't feel safe they should always call you? Well yours actually did. That's a good thing. Don't punish that. 6 Reply 1 79 3 ...

    Rectangle - Puzzleheaded-Big1680 · 1d Partassipant [2] YTA. You're setting a precedent for your daughter to not want to confide in you next time she is feeling unsafe. I hope the $10-20 you want back is worth it. G Reply 1 66 3 ...

    Font - moongirl12 · 1d Commander in Cheeks [248] 215 Awards YTA. So much. Your daughter trusts you enough to get her out of a situation where she's uncomfortable, responsible enough to ask, and you want to charge her for it? Why? Why would you essentially penalize your daughter for being open with you? 6 Reply 4 46.7k 3
