17-year-old stepdaughter accuses stepmother of pretending to be poor because she refused to buy her a $1200 purse: 'I know you and Dad make bank'

Just because she has $1200 does not mean she's going to spend it on her spoiled, rotten stepdaughter.

When you're young, it's easy to be incredibly juvenile about money. If you have it, you spend it! If you have the money to spend on it, you can certainly afford it! Young spoiled kids have little to no sense of how much work (or dumb luck) goes into acquiring a large sum of money. They might have a rudimentary understanding that the way to keep money is not to spend it, but they don't have the discipline to put that into practice.

Some parents choose to spend a lot of their hard-earned money on their spoiled rotten kids, and that's their prerogative. You might think it's asinine for your coworker's daughter to have 50 American Girl dolls, considering that's $5,000 that could go towards her college fund. But if you're not the parent, you don't have a say in how parents spend their money on their kids! There is a middle ground between being a parent to a child and a complete stranger to them, and this stepmother is living in that middle ground with her stepdaughter.

My stepdaughter accused me of ‘playing poor’… because I didn’t want to buy her a designer bag.
