Does the mother pay the cell phone bill because it is more convenient and they have some type of arrangement that balances things out?? Or is the cell phone essentially a gift from the mother to the daughter.
The former is the only way I could possibly see the daughter "entitled" to something though I still find it quite selfish. Otherwise 100% should be the mother's.
100% to daughter? No way.
100% to mom? Maybe
Some split? Probably the best compromise.
I initially say "no" to 100% to the daughter because she wasn't paying the bill in the first place.
I'm a bit softer on 100% to mom, but I'm not so sure that is the best course of action since the robocalls were likely handled by the daughter. She was the one affected by the calls, so she should probably get something for it?
Compromise is usually best. Split it 30/70 (kid/parent) or 50/50.
The mom confided in my after the daughter was the one who informed her abt the lawsuit. She didn't offer the mom anything just told her to check her own number. The mom was a little surprised and taken back by the daughters attitude though she has taken advantage of her before. I told her since she (the mom) is paying the bill I think 50/50 is more than fair.
. Do you think daughter should get the money, the mother or is it fair to split.
The Mother.....the one who pays the bill each month.....the daughter should get nothing more than what she's already getting...free use of a cell phone.
Why would the daughter think she is entitled to it?
Makes no sense.
Sure it makes sense...she's thinking that way because she can....because she might get some money out of the deal...
The fact that MOM even considers giving her half tells me exactly why this young lady feels she's entitled.

Daughter is in her 30's! Lol. Well that is just awesome. When I was in my 30's and if my mother was paying any of my bills, I would have insisted that my mother keep all the $. As I would expect any other adult would do.
I expected you to say the daughter is 15 or something.
Ludicrous. If it were me, I would give it all to my daughter and let her know how disappointing her behavior is.
What poor character.
