Mom Turns Oldest Daughter Into A Nanny Of Her 5 Kids, Then Gets Upset She Wants To Move In With Dad

There’s a difference between being asked for help and being used, and one teenager says that line slowly disappeared in her family.

The 16-year-old, whose parents divorced when she was young, says life changed after her mother remarried and had five more children. She claims that over time, she became the designated carer for her younger half-siblings, and a much bigger part of the household than she would’ve liked.

Eventually, the pressure pushed her to visit her dad. A short stay at his home during a difficult period gradually turned into something more permanent, and now her mother isn’t happy about it at all.

    I think she's right. And that mum is not going to like where this path leads her eldest daughter. Signed. The parentified eldest daughter.

    This just illustrates my point that people should not have kids if they are not able to care for them , financially and socially. OP's mum never should have kids she can't look after. Too many people have kids they can't care for and the result of that is children who didn't stand a chance from the get-go. That's unconscionable.

    Pretty sure dad could get full custody on the grounds of bio mom abusing her through parentification.
