She's getting exactly what she voted for.

“I raised my kids on a modest salary as a single mom.”

“I worked two jobs to give my children the best start in life.”

Gave them everything but your time and a father.

OMG what a perfect opportunity.

Buy the kid a house in a neighborhood filled with drug needles and feces on the sidewalk. Insist that they live in it themselves. You know, to show that they fully support the community they’re allied with.

She needs to ask herself where this girl developed her since if entitlement. Start from there.

I know, how about telling the entitled little B to grow up and try supporting herself for once. Pathetic little whiner.

You should let it slip that you expect her to pop out at least half dozen grandkids before needing a house

Really stupid comment...
Maybe she doesn’t have time to give them “time” and a poor excuse for a “father”.

Did you consider that maybe she had been widowed or that her husband initiated any separation? Would it be better for her to have been on welfare?

The wife raised this daughter. Mothers are the most influential person on their kids especially girls. So she learned what she learned from mommy.

A parent owes their children the best start in life they can. That means an education, as far as they can afford, and good values. But the parent does not owe a house.

She should tell her daughter that she provided her with a college education so she could provide for herself

Your first order of business is to talk to your husband about the situation to make sure you’re on the same page. As it stands, part of the problem might be that you’re of two different minds when it comes to financially supporting your adult children.

This woman shouldn't say a word to her husband. He is her daughter's stepfather and has no financial obligation to buy his stepdaughter a house. Mom needs to tell her brat it's not happening.

A parent owes a great education through high school. (Preferably homeschool if they remotely love their kids).

Parents do not owe their kids an education beyond that. We loaned our kids money and expected the loans to be repaid.
