One woman made an enemy of her kid after she decided to liquidate her college fund in favor of her other daughter's finances.

Let's call the children Anna and Maxine. Anna, a 24-year-old woman, gave birth to her 4th child, despite not actually being able to afford the first 4. It was well within her abilities to abstain from having a 4th kid, but she chose to have 1 anyway. See, Anna was unemployed due to health issues, and her husband worked at Walmart. As you can see, it's a winning combination to raise 4 children. Anna also had options to move to another state so her husband would get a better job, one that might sustain a family of 6. But she didn't want to, because she was perfectly comfortable where she was, getting money from family instead of doing something to take control of her life and finances. Perhaps she'll have another kid, who knows? To top it off, Anna then got evicted.

The woman who posted the story got scathing responses from fellow Redditors who called her a terrible mother for sacrificing Maxine's college fund due to Anna's bad choices. Scroll down for the full story, and judge away.
