Family Trip Goes South As Proud Mom Gets Bashed By Jealous SIL Over Her Daughter's Expensive Spending
"Danica shouldn't have to apologise for her own hard work"
Your self-confidence and self-esteem are greatly increased by independence and the capacity to hold yourself in high regard. Most people start to believe in themselves when they realize they don't need to rely on others to make them happy.
The original poster of today's story happens to have a daughter, Danica, who has been extremely independent her whole life. You see, there are many positive aspects to strong, independent women.
You may try to be one of them, you may love them, and many of us try to raise them. These ladies possess extraordinary abilities, know how to accomplish tasks, and are adept at solving problems.
Independent women are able to take care of themselves and frequently make it appear easy or, at the very least, doable. Being strong, independent, and possessing all the other great traits that come with independence is undoubtedly a good thing.
OP's daughter started working at 15, so you can tell that she and her husband are extremely proud of her and how hard she has worked. Danica occasionally likes to make pricier purchases, which the OP does not have any concern over.
In fact, she thinks they are sensible financial choices. They went on a family trip with OP's brother and his family, and they have two dependent kids of their own.
This was supposed to be a fun time, but things didn't go through as planned as jealousy crept in due to Danica's spending.

Not everyone is capable of being independent. Additionally, being very independent can sometimes result in loneliness, but in the fast-paced world of today, developing independence is crucial.
OP's daughter has achieved this for herself and therefore deserves to take care of herself however she likes. Redditors understood and the OP was declared not the AH.
