Actually, the situation is worse than the thread title suggests. The stepchild thinks this woman should pay for the surgery out of pocket coz she's the only one in the family with money. The "child"in this case is 27.

The way her step kids treat her is horrendous. She's paid for cars, rehab, and all she gets is asshole behavior and another extended hand.

It's not uncommon for relatives & friends of people who have money, or are perceived to have money, to display a sense of entitlement to said money & demand that funds be forked over to fulfill their own desires & dreams. It's a main reason that winners of large lottery jackpots usually end up in tragedy, familial betrayal & loneliness.

Horses, dogs, and humans have been coexisting and selecting for traits for so many millennia that we can read each other's emotions from facial expressions. We care about each other.

I can't in good faith pretend that the trans crowd cares about other beings.

I am <40 and grew up in a "first world" country, and yet multiple people I know rode horses to school, grocery store, etc. I owed my horse my life several times over, as she owed me. OTOH I have never received anything but rape, murder, and death threats from trans people. The most dangerous animal my horse ever fended off was a human male.

Buy the horse. Divorce the husband. Experience love and loyalty.

Edit to add (shaddup the font is tiny on this screen). Summary: grown-ass adult is jealous of a more deserving being.

As a horse person who likes dressage, I would be completely pissed off if I was asked to forego a purchase of a dream horse so a bratty step kid could get completely unnecessary surgery. The kid is 27 and needs to get her own life together.

A woman's boundaries are never respected.
