‘She acts entitled. Like she is OWED this’: Ungrateful 16-year-old niece acts out and berates her aunt, who drives her to school and supervises her when her parents are unable to, and parents refuse to discipline her

Though parenting doesn't come with a how-to manual, it's usually commonplace to ensure your child is not making other family members' lives more difficult. Teenagers have their days, of course, but multiple weeks of a teen acting out warrant a special kind of conversation that extended family should not have to participate in. At the end of the day, if a family member is doing you, a parent, a major favor, isn't regulating your child's behavior the least you can do?

In this next story, a woman's 16-year-old niece repeatedly and constantly acts out, which causes the woman distress. No matter what the woman does, her niece finds a way to complain and ridicule whatever she's done—driving and dinner, for two—and refuses to correct her behavior. Teenage angst can only be an excuse for so long until it becomes a general behavioral issue. Why should the woman, her aunt, put up with this? She is sacrificing her time and gas money to be a punching bag for someone half her age. Scroll below to read the full story.
