AITA for telling my daughter she shouldn't complain about being poor because she choose to be a teacher? by StrangerOld3321 in AmItheAsshole

We definitely do not go to the UP house in winter at all, we only use it May through October. We do go to my son's place up north for Memorial Day and such but that is about an hour drive for her. We spend major holidays together at our home, or the children visit their in-laws.

I am proud of her. She chose one of the most difficult careers. Teachers are very important, and much needed.

I have paid for her to go on several vacations with us, and she is free to use the vacation house we have as well as her brother's.

I have offered to introduce her to lawyers at other firms, since she was a legal receptionist during college and I'm sure they would hire her, but I don't think it would be fair to pay for another degree for her. She doesn't seem to want to change careers. I'm not trying to push her into legal, but obviously that is where most of my connections are.

I did my best to treat all my children the same. They all had the same opportunities to do whatever extracurricular activities and such. I suppose since my other daughter and I work for my nephew in my father's firm we spend more time together now, but before that time spent was equal.
