Imagine being a teenager applying to college. Would you want to attend a school close to where your parents live, or would you prefer to go to a school far away and be on your own?

In this story, one teenage girl thought she was going to be near her family no matter where she went to college. Her dad told her that they would move close to whatever school she wants to attend.

But now that she’s actually a senior in high school, he’s changed his mind.

Keep reading to find out why he changed his mind and why the teen feels like she messed up.

AITA for telling my dad that he should have never adopted his kids?

I have a Danish father and an Egyptian mother, I am their only biological child (18f), but, have three adopted other siblings. My brother (18m) who is Korean, a sister (17f) who is Latvian and another sister (15f) who is Kenyan.

My mother and father adopted them consecutively after me, as she was advised not to have anymore children.

Her dad changed his mind about a promise he made.

I am in my last year of high school (senior) and we all attended international schools all over the globe, when my dad was on long business trips. Until COVID, which helped us settle in one place.

We have all been great until recently. When my dad and I were talking about colleges as I’ve applied to them recently.

He clarified that they won’t move to the location I was moving to as my siblings want to stay where they are. Even though two years back, my mother & father promised me that they would move close by for the first year and after that, I will be on my own.

She doesn’t think this is fair.

I told him that “we wanted to settle down for many years & now you are choosing to officially settle down because they don’t want to leave”. Even though, I’ve stated on many occasions prior that I wanted to settle down.

He told me that “it’s different now & he has to think about the rest of my younger siblings”.

I told him that “If it was going to be this way, you should have never adopted them”.

I’ve never said this to my father before, but I was upset as he broke his promise.

She doesn’t mean it.

My father was disconcerted by what i said and told me that I “should just go to my room”, as he was clearly taken aback.

Even though, I didn’t mean it and I love my siblings, I felt as though it was right to say in the moment as he broke his promise.

Yet, he still seems upset with me.

AITA?

She needs to clarify with her dad that she loves her siblings and doesn’t mean it. She needs to clarify that she’s upset that he broke a promise.

Let’s see how Reddit responded.

This person makes a good point.

Another person understands why she feels she way she does.

Her dad made a promise and broke it. That’s tough to deal with. However, she’s going to have to accept it.

She should apologize for what she said, and she may want to consider looking at schools close to wherever they live if it’s important to her to have her family nearby.
