On the car story, I don’t think that buying her the exact car right away was possible, but also ADHD is a disability, and your mileage may vary, so saying other people with ADHD are able to do it is not a comparison to whether or not this person would be able to maintain their grades past school and also maintain a job, especially if they’re already drowning and homework that they’re unable to maintain.
However, there’s a hella middle ground. The parents can still buy her a car. It doesn’t have to be the same one and you don’t have to buy it from a dealership with payments, get something cheap and affordable for the time being that is transportation and freedom and when school is out, have the other sister work a summer job to help pay For a new vehicle.
I would also like to point out, if the roles of the individuals changed, let’s say she let a friend borrow the car, this very well could have been the same outcome. There is a lesson in this for her as well. If you loan something out to somebody, there is a chance that it’s not going to come back to you the way that you sent it off. If her parents didn’t force her to share the vehicle and she made that choice of her own free well then that is still a consequence that is from her own actions.
I don’t know I feel like the gray area would have been to get an affordable vehicle in the meantime and then finish school and get a summer job. Transportation freedom. In the meantime the other daughter is able to complete her schooling without overloading herself. Everyone learns a valuable lesson about the possibilities of sharing your vehicle and when sister got her car replaced, maybe the other girl could have the turd row car.
I think the bigger thing to keep in mind over the car thing is that they didn’t appear to do anything to acknowledge her feelings over losing her car, nor was there any attempt to compensate for it in even in alternative ways. They essentially just hoped Casey would over it in spite of how hard she worked to get that car. I agree with Lola that if Alanna’s ADHD is so bad that her parents are coddling her this much then she shouldn’t have been driving Casey’s car to begin with. She should have at least taken the parents car and we’d see how they feel then
$60k for an 80 person wedding??? Insane! Then wanting a $30k dress??? Girl, an $8,600 is already insane to me and you’re most likely will be wearing it only once..
I rented my wedding dress because I didnt want to fork out too much money on something id be only wearing once 😂
So about the car one I don’t think the parents are wrong, accidents happen if you don’t want that risk don’t let people use your vehicle. The parents aren’t responsible for the car or the accident and about the job I was very mentally ill abs unstable in highschool and there is no way I could’ve worked, my grades absolutely would’ve gone to shit. So you never know just bc you can work and go to school doesn’t mean everyone can.
I love your take on these Reddit stories! You should add time stamps in between the stories (:
