Do you have children? She’s 14, which means she has the wisdom, knowledge, and judgement of a turnip. Frustrating? Of course. But she’s a CHILD. The judge, here, is the bad guy, not the child. She’s just being immature, which is what kids are. In fact, it’s NORMAL for them to be so, with rare exception.
I do. But 14 is a young adult despite today’s vogue of infantilizing them. It’s certainly old enough to know not to stand against your family in court. No college money, no inheritance, eviction from family house the moment the law allows.
This isn’t a 6 year old who came in wearing muddy shoes.
