Toxic Mother Tries To Force Daughter To Leave College To Raise Her Siblings

Older daughters are often forced to be third parents for their younger siblings. Many parents have more kids than they can reasonably care for, putting excessive pressure on their older children during their teenage years. Teenagers already go through enough stress, trauma, and anxiety without the element of rearing children. They didn't ask to be parents, yet they are forced to perform that role as if it's their duty.

Redditor u/Dangerous-Host9819 is one of those eldest daughters. Her mother expects more from her than even the most irresponsible parents do. She wants her to not go to college this year and spend the next four years taking care of her siblings instead. The 18-year-old has gotten a full-ride scholarship to a university 30-minutes away from her house. Instead of being proud of her, her mother is trying to snatch away her opportunity to have a career and a life outside the home.
