Traveling Parents Leave Teen Girl in Grandma’s Care, She Acts up and Old Lady Snaps Pics of Her — Story of the Day

Fifteen-year-old Vanessa complained about staying with her grandmother, Emilia, when her parents took a trip. She acted entitled and spoiled until her grandma snapped. The older woman decided to do something drastic to stop her attitude, which shocked everyone.

“I don’t want to stay with Grandma. Can’t you just take me with you?” Vanessa complained to her parents when they were packing for their special trip to Europe. The family lived in Salt Lake City, Utah, but they were taking her to Fillmore to stay with her grandmother, and the teen had no problem complaining about that.

“Vanessa, your father has important meetings with clients, and I have to go with him. We’re also going to take time to celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary. Do you really want to spend time with us in Europe?” her mother, Christina, asked.

“Not really. I just don’t want to go to Fillmore. There’s nothing there!” the teen complained.

“Well, I’m very sorry but that’s just how it’s going to be. We don’t know if we’ll be staying a month or more than that, so you have to stay with an adult. I’m tired of your rants and complaints. Go to your room and finish packing for Grandma’s house,” Christina stated, gesturing with her finger for Vanessa to go away.

The 15-year-old stomped back to her room and packed while noisily complaining. Christina hoped her daughter’s bratty attitude was just a phase or due to teen hormones, but she didn’t like it one bit. In fact, she almost thought about letting her husband go alone to Europe and staying with her.

But spending time with her grandmother was probably best. Something about Vanessa’s friends in the city, her environment, and even her parents triggered her attitude. A change of scenery could work wonders. If she doesn’t change by the time they return from Europe, Christina would get Vanessa a therapist.

“There. That’s the solution,” Christina said to herself, zipping up her bag and wiping her hands. She nodded her head and continued her preparations for the trip, not thinking about her daughter for the time being.

It had been a week since her parents drove her to her grandmother’s house, and Vanessa was insanely bored. Since she arrived, she had complained about everything, from the smell of the house to her grandmother’s food. And the older woman was getting tired of her attitude. Christina had warned her, but she never imagined it would be so bad.

Vanessa came to the kitchen and saw her grandmother making spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. Emilia thought it would make her happy because she loved them...
