Her Daughter Called Her A Gold Digger Who Accomplished Nothing On Her Own And Relies On A Man To Pay For Everything
Unfortunately, when kids grow into teenagers and start having to balance more feelings, relationships, and school work, they get moody.
What’s also unfortunate is that parents become an easy target for their moodiness, and you can never know what insult or snarky comment teenagers will make out of the blue.
One woman has recently been giving her daughter the cold shoulder after she insulted her and called her a gold digger.
She and her husband are in their 40s and have a 15-year-old daughter. Her husband is a successful businessman, and since her daughter was two, she’s been a stay-at-home mom, ensuring her family has everything they need and caring for their house.
However, their lifestyle wasn’t always so easygoing.
“Shortly after we moved to the States, my husband struggled to get his business off the ground, leading me to support the two of us,” she explained.
“I was working full time as a teacher, as well as Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings at a restaurant and a coffee shop on Saturdays and Sundays to make ends meet. Once my husband was more successful in his business, I was able to stop working in the restaurant and coffee shop and just teach. After we bought our home, we decided to have a baby and later agreed that I should quit my job to look after her and our home, as we often argued about chores from having a busy schedule.”
While she doesn’t have to work a job anymore, she works hard as a stay-at-home mom, doing the best she can for her family and supporting her husband and daughter in several ways. Her daughter has lived a very privileged life, getting to experience many things and opportunities.
Unfortunately, since her daughter has entered her teenage years, she’s grown very distant and has lost touch with her responsibilities.

“I noticed her grades were slipping significantly, from As and Bs to Cs and Ds,” she recalled.
“I encouraged her to study more and go out less, telling her she could only go out with friends on the weekend once her work was done, which upset her. She told me that she wouldn’t take study advice from a gold digger who had no accomplishments of her own and had to rely on a man to pay for her things. This made me very upset, and I told her off for it, explaining to her I used to teach as well as pay for everything before her father’s business took off, leaving her stunned.”
Her daughter had no clue about her and her husband’s financial history, so she was shocked to hear about their past and apologized for what she said.
While she accepted her daughter’s apology, her words have stuck with her, and she can’t stop feeling offended. Therefore, she’s given her daughter the cold shoulder.
While she’s not ignoring her completely and still takes care of her, she doesn’t have much interest in engaging with her daughter, as she’s struggling to feel love from her.
“My husband has told me I need to go back to normal with her, as the tension makes him uncomfortable, and he hates seeing her so upset, but her behavior towards me has made me angry and not want to resolve things just yet,” she admitted.
“I love my daughter and husband, but I thought I was being fair in how I felt, especially after being berated by my teenager for sacrificing my job to look after her.”
How should she smooth things over with her daughter?
