Sooooooo, SHE decides to take a 2-year break from HIGH SCHOOL & YOU REWARD HER with vacations and gifts??!! Seeing her do NOTHING for 2 years?! No school but also NO JOB!
NO school district is going to let you miss 2 years of school so she just dropped out, so she went back to school, and she is a 20-year-old in 11th grade, and she is dating a divorced guy - this is a stupid story that makes no sense- AI needs to do more research.
The way I'm taking it is that Dad's really pushy and wants to have control. Let her go and just be there if things go bad. Let her be an adult and figure her life out herself.
Claire kept saying they would 'figure things out'? Well, when she yelled, "How could you do this to me?" at her dad? He should say, "Oh, you'll figure it out."
The daughter is right in times have changed, but fail to realise for the worst, house prices and rent are almost 200% higher then they were 20 years ago, jobs are not as secure and billing and other expenses are almost double.
kids will do what kids want to do, He should cautioned her about things but let her know he'd still love her. He should also let her know he wasn't going to bail them out if they ended up with financial problems.
I think the father should not have let her live at home before the wedding. Take her and all of her things to Jake’s place. All of the pressure of the wedding living with his disapproving parents. That might have made them decide not to marry. But I think he definitely should have tried giving Jake a job, or if he can’t learn it, then help him get a different job that he can do. This started to feel like punishment or revenge.
Mofos act like they invented water. 'We're young and you're old so you wouldn't understand. Times are different now. We hydrate completely differently from how you all used to!' Good grief... 🤭🤭🤭🤨🤨🤨
Question, why were you even going to fund her wedding when you did not agree with what she was doing you only cut off financial help for the wedding after she said you were not gonna be invited. Doesn’t make sense to me. I would have reminded her that the credit card was for emergencies a wedding is not an emergency
I suppose she can leave high school if she's old enough that truancy laws don't apply, but I don't think she can go back to get her diploma. IDK, maybe there are countries where going back to high school is allowed.
Waste of a parents If she banned you off her wedding... You dont lay there like a doormat, when ever she want to call... Thats why she keeps burning every bridges
Honestly.... Jake doesnt seem like the issue. Seems like OP raised a brat, let her get away with anything, didnt teach her anything, and then was surprised she didnt know or understand anything. Totally OP and his daughters fault for everything.
The part about Jake not cleaning up after himself. Is the daughter working too? If not, she has no right to complain about that when Jake's apparently working hard.
Glad you finally learnt how to be a father and not just a spineless enabler of a narcissist.

OP spoiled his daughter. Probably not intentional but out of guilt.
Still, grandma also had a point. This daughter resembles her mother.
It's rarely easy being a parent. Easy to criticise, much harder to be the parent.
You wanna take a break ? Okay but you hav to pay your own bills, you can stay here if you follow house rule.. but you aint gonna fund her luxury.
Spoiled and entitled. OP needs to let the daughter make her own bed and face the consequences on her own.
Daughter thinks she knows better , let her dig her own hole, she'll learn fast enough independent living is hard
Kicked out immediately
From a mother and grandmother, you don't let a child dictate to you .
NO DEPOSIT, NO RETURN
It says 2 year break from high school that's bad she'll get way behind other students

"Everything you have will be mine one day anyway" lol.
Both parents created this minster. The mother neglected her and the father spoiled her rotten.
OP needs to allow the daughter to deal with the consequences of her own actions and learn from them.

Some things can only be learned through experience
The daughter is right in times have changed, but fail to realise for the worst, house prices and rent are almost 200% higher then they were 20 years ago, jobs are not as secure and billing and other expenses are almost double.
The only way one huma can help another is to NOT shield them from the consequences of their decision. That is the ONLY way they can LEARN.
Want to bet Jake has a "No Regerts" tattoo.

shes spoiled and he's controlling
This is what failed parenting looks like smh
I know OP is thanking god he didn't pay for that wedding.
Should have let her learn the hard way and stayed out of it
How come Op didn’t also get remarried

Are there really such fools? You indulge her every entitlement and then wonder at her idiot decisions?

2 year break from high school?

Spare the rod spoil the child is all I heard
Meh karma for both
You create a narcissist, and then wonder at the monster you enabled into existence.
Maybe, just maybe
