This young woman's 18th birthday took a disappointing turn when her dad didn't give her a car like he had for her siblings. 😔 Despite her best efforts and the help of a tutor, her grades weren't deemed good enough. 📚 She confronted her dad, only to be called an entitled b*tch. 😡 Feeling like she's held to a different standard, she's left wondering if she's the least favorite child. 💔 It turns out she's autistic, which adds an extra challenge to her academic journey. 🧩 Her tutor has helped her improve her grades, but her dad's expectations were never clearly communicated. 🤔 Now, let's see what the internet has to say about this emotional family drama! 🌐
