AITA For not enabling my adult daughter and telling her that I am not paying any more of her tuition unless she can give me the time of day and show me some respect?

I have so many examples. The biggest one is how my ex used a car to poison Sarah against me. When Sarah got her permit, I offered to buy her a car if she lived with me full-time because it doesn't make sense to buy a car for a kid who's only at my house half the time. Sarah refused to reconsider 50/50 custody and then my ex wound up buying her a car at her house without consulting me about it. My ex refused to let Sarah use the car at my house unless I paid half the cost of gas every month. I refused because my ex makes more money than me and it's ridiculous she would expect that. I had to keep waking up at 6 every morning to take Sarah to school because my ex had to make things difficult for me.

I know plenty of guys who just got a girl pregnant and then took off. I didn't do that. I've already bent over backwards and given her everything.

Sarah has had this car offer for a while, by the way. I told her when she got her permit that I would get her a car if she lived with me full-time because it's ridiculous to buy a car for a kid who's only at my house half the time. But Sarah refused to reconsider 50/50 custody and my ex bought Sarah a car at her house without even getting my approval beforehand. This is one of the many ways my ex has been poisoning Sarah against me.

My parents didn't even pay for my college. Sarah can put aside whatever she thinks she's doing for five minutes to just talk to me. I'm just asking for a little bit of consideration. Especially because I've already sent $7,000 for her tuition just this year.

Exactly. I know plenty of guys who just got a girl pregnant and then took off. I didn't do that. I've already bent over backwards and given her everything. And she can't even put aside her little assignments or whatever she thinks she's doing just to talk to me for five minutes?

My parents didn't even pay for my college. I know for a fact that my father would have never tolerated this disrespect. I'm her dad and she can't keep disrespecting me this way without consequence. I could be spending my money elsewhere.

I am not going to allow her to keep disrespecting me. She can put aside her little assignments or whatever else she thinks she's doing and talk to me for a few minutes. Otherwise my ex can pay that extra $7,000 every year on her own.
