Aunt lends 10-year-old niece $2,000 for ballet camp, her mother spends it all on herself instead and claims she lacks the funds to reimburse her: “I’m not rich”

Hey there, internet scrollers. In this week's edition of Cheezcake, it's nothing new, and all of the old stuff you're used to seeing. Family dynamics crumbling, husbands not stepping up to their challenge of fatherhood, dubious mother-in-laws trying to hijack control over their son's wedding, and stepmothers being all too contrarian. Sisterly spats are back in, and the story below portrays a good one.

Of course, most little girls don't leave their ballet class thanking their parents for putting them through it, picking them up, dropping them off, going to their recitals, and paying that hefty sum so their kid can learn something beautiful.

In the story below, the protagonist has been paying for her niece's ballet classes since her mother can't afford them. Generous, no? I think if my parents couldn't afford them then my aunt would probably pay as well. But as the saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished. This woman finds out where some of that money has been going, and it isn't to ballet. Read the full story below for all the juicy details.

I grew up doing ballet, and other types of dance. To this day, I love ballet, and even go to barre classes sometimes, extenuating my strength in working out, as well as skills in second position. Ballet is a little girl’s dream, and if you’re young and your parents can afford those oh so expensive dance classes, then it’s important to appreciate it.
