AITA for telling my friend to stop wasting money trying to relive her childhood?
My (f30) friend, Hannah (f34) works from home and has been doing so since she graduated with her masters. She’s a freelance translstor and earns decent money. If it matters, she also doesn’t have kids (doesn’t want them) which means she doesn’t have serious spending.
Now, with that being said, she takes like 5 ballet classes a week. She wasn’t able to do so as a child because her family couldn’t afford it so she picked it up as an adult and she loves it. She also takes two language courses, she fights swords (she does some weird ass competitions), has shit like crossbows and bows on her walls (apparently she shoots them but I doubt it) and she swims as well and she’s got crap like drums in her house as well. Obviously, because of dance, she’s fit AF which, I’ll admit makes me a bit salty but this is not about that.
Since she works from home and has no kids, she has a bunch of time to do what she wants and money to spend. I don’t. I’m married with 4 kids, my husband lost his job 4 years ago and has been unable to find work since then so we’re struggling. We’ve got enough for food and necessities from my work but not extras. My 10 year old daughter, Isla, would absolutely love to do ballet but it’s very expensive and we can’t afford it let alone if she was to start pointe shoes. No way.
I met Hannah when I was doing a school run and Isla was with me. Hannah was on her way to her ballet class. I could see my daughter’s face and got really angry. Hannah didn’t even have enough decency to keep quiet about ballet in front of my child and she knew Isla loves ballet.
Honestly, I got angry, I told Hannah to stop wasting money trying to relive her childhood. She’s too old for that and it’s time she faced the music. She looked at me weirdly and asked me to repeat myself which I did. I also added it was time to grow up and face some responsibilities like others adults her age and that her boyfriend will leave once he changes his mind (they always do) and he’d start wanting kids.
Hannah called me an asshole (well not quite, she called me a pathetic cunt). and she left me standing in the street.
I believe she owes me an apology but my husband said I should’ve kept my mouth shut. I can think what I want but if Hannah doesn’t speak to me, she may not lend as money anymore and we sometimes need it. He thinks I should apologise. I said no unless it was my fault and since my husband reads here a lot he mentioned I should ask here if I was the asshole. So am I the asshole for telling what I thought?

Moo notices how it's "okay" for a child to physically abuse you, but not a spouse. But this shit happens because she allows it. If she beat the brat's ass when it pulled this shit, the frequency of occurrences would decrease. Why do they sit there and take it? Abuse is abuse, whether it's done by an adult or a child.
Are they that tiiiiiiired that they're willing to just let their kids beat on them? If the kid is too young to be spanked, a smack on the hand is fine. Just something to show them their bad behavior has consequences. I know it's haaaaaaaaard to get off their asses and parent their own damn kids, but surely it's worth it to not be physically assaulted on a daily basis by a brat with no emotional regulation?
Then when the kid starts hitting and biting more often when it goes to daycare or school, Moo will wonder why. Yeah I wonder where she learned THAT from? Couldn't be from her worthless Moo enabling her behavior! And I sure as fuck wouldn't be reading that little asshole a story after she threw shit at me and assaulted me. All I'd be doing with a book is using it as a paddle.

If this moo is going to be angry with anyone it needs to be her husband, who has been unemployed for four years now.
