'I put my foot down': Mother refuses to help 15-year-old daughter go on school trip after daughter continually forgets important things

This mom is wondering if she's actually being petty… or if she's just raising a teenager.

It seems like most parents are clueless when it comes to their teenagers: there's no amount of research or preparation that can prepare you for that stage of your kid's life. You start off with a baby, then a toddler who's your little bestie. Then they turn into a sweet kid who loves to hang out with you. Then one day, that kid becomes a teenager, and all bets are off. They might act out or refuse to do activities with their parents anymore. It's tough to find a balance between letting your kid grow up, and still parenting them properly.

U/Infinite_Step3417 took to r/AmItheA****** with a question for the citizens of the internet to answer, but the commenters were split on who exactly was at fault. Some people thought this person should be doing more as a parent to help her kid. Others chimed in saying that this teenager needed to learn some responsibility, urging the original poster to stick to her word and "stop babying her." See for yourself: you can read the full post and some insightful comments below.

Up next, read about some super petty reasons people were fired, with one person sharing that, "Instead of quitting… people started eating donuts in front of management and being fired on the spot."
