Husband calls out wife for enabling and inciting 16-year-old daughter's newfound unhealthy habits, accuses her of being a friend more than a parent: ‘For God's sake, she's your child, not just a friend!’

They don't give you a rule book for parenting once your little bundle of joy arrives in the world—well, they do, but it'll never prepare you for everything that happens once your tiny tot goes from an innocent darling to a sentient, autonomous human being. Parenting isn't easy—there are plenty of testimonies from mothers and fathers on countless subreddits—but it's not supposed to be. Figuring out the best way to reason with your child while painting a good level of closeness and supervision is key, and sometimes, that takes a lot longer than you'd expect. Instead of trying to be besties with your teenager, consider the repercussions of exposing them to unhealthy, mature lifestyle choices and habits. 

The father who posted this next story explains that his wife's behavior has bled into his 16-year-old daughter's lifestyle. The teenager no longer speaks to her father with the same closeness; she took up unhealthy habits that rhyme with "draping", dresses inappropriately, and even steals her parents' credit card for a $3200 prom dress. After all of this, the father's wife refuses to take any accountability for enabling her. This results in a major family feud for the books.
