Most 13-year-olds are lucky to have a weekly allowance or the occasional ride to their friend’s house. Meanwhile, this one has grown tired of her half-of-a-horse lifestyle, and her mom insists that owning a full horse is essential to her mental well-being. Essential mental well-being? Some people settle for pizza nights for sanity, but I digress.
Look, I get it. When you’re used to saying “yes” to everything, suddenly dropping a “no” feels like you’ve committed a cardinal sin. But let’s consider the slippery slope here. Today it’s buying a full horse instead of leasing half of one, but what’s next on this luxury wish list?

Maybe the award-winning breed dog rental service won’t cut it anymore, because the Samoyed you got last week didn't come from a distinguished enough lineage, and they’ll demand an exotic animal indoor zoo. Because why settle for a golden retriever when you could have a personal leopard? And forget about the backyard pool—clearly, the only acceptable upgrade is a full-scale replica of the Great Barrier Reef, complete with imported Australian fish and a resident marine biologist.

"AITAH for not agreeing to buy my 13 year-old step-daughter a horse, especially when I just discovered I’m on the hook for her college?"

Wife demands rich husband buy his stepdaughter a horse instead of “leasing one-half of a horse” and expects him to pay for college education: ‘That's not how I operate’
Some of us struggle to scrape together rent money, debate whether store-brand cereal is worth the $2 savings, and weigh the level of chicken freedom we can afford when buying eggs. And then there are people like this guy, whose life dilemmas include contemplating why his stepdaughter isn't content with leasing half a horse. Half a horse! Would love to have made this up, but unfortunately, reality is far more creative than I am.
You see, this middle-aged millionaire isn't just rich. Oh no—he's retired, living off dividends, and generously funding a five-star family lifestyle. His kids and step-kids have no responsibilities, and a fridge full of snacks. But apparently, that's not enough when your teen dreams of free rein over a majestic beast instead of a partial lease arrangement.
This isn't a relatable problem. Fun for me? Yes. Am I remotely wealthy enough to have an opinion? Ha! Not in this lifetime baby!
