A man constantly had to deal with his 16-year-old daughter’s worsening attitude and finally had enough one day. He noticed her behavior changed when she started hanging out with a different set of friends in school.
The man was the first to admit that his daughter used to be polite. He and his wife suspected that she began adapting her new friends’ attitudes, as they were known as the mean type.
Their daughter was no longer the soft-spoken, polite young girl they once knew. She started to comment on people’s looks and belongings and use negative words to describe others.
Worried about how his daughter was growing up, the concerned dad sat her down several times to discuss her bad behavior. He went so far as to admit her attitude negatively affected those around her.
One person constantly affected by his daughter’s behavior was their housemaid. “My daughter has chosen her to be her target for hair, clothes, ‘etiquette’ criticism,” the man explained.
When their housemaid could no longer take it, she complained to her bosses that their daughter was calling her offensive names. She would call their helper “filthy” and “gross” for cleaning even the dirtiest areas of their home.
The dad couldn’t help but feel ashamed of how his daughter was acting. He took a stand and warned her that one more misdemeanor against their housemaid would result in punishment she wouldn’t want.
Days later, she approached her dad, saying she couldn’t find her phone after searching everywhere.He thought she would finally listen to him after such a stern warning. However, his daughter continued calling their helper “filthy,” leading to the 16-year-old getting grounded.
The teenager threw a fit and began accusing the housemaid of lying. That day, she had a party, which her dad didn’t allow her to attend for what she did. She was livid and blamed the housemaid for being the reason she couldn’t go out to party.
Days later, she approached her dad, saying she couldn’t find her phone after searching everywhere. The young woman asked her dad to call her phone, and he did. The phone rang from the housemaid’s bag to his and his wife’s surprise.
He immediately confronted their housemaid, and she vehemently denied it, crying that she never touched the phone, nor did she know how it got to her bag. During that time, the daughter kept calling their housemaid a “thief.”
The man told his daughter to stop and go to her room. He checked their surveillance camera before deciding what to do, and what he discovered stunned him.
He saw his daughter putting the phone inside their housemaid’s bag. The man was furious at his daughter for setting up the innocent woman.
Before confronting his daughter, he apologized to their housemaid and gave her the rest of the day off. He then showed the video to his daughter, and she was speechless. He decided he would do all the talking. He recalled:
“I said what she did was immoral and straight up offensive to tamper with that poor woman’s livelihood over a petty party she couldn’t go to.”
At this point, the man was running out of punishments to give his daughter. He decided he would make her sleep in their backyard, knowing it would teach her a lesson because she was a germaphobe.His daughter cried and begged her not to make her sleep in the dirt but he didn’t budge and warned her that he would make it two nights if she refused.
The man’s wife told him to go easy on their daughter. He stood his ground and said their daughter needed to be taught a lesson, as calling people names and framing them for theft wasn’t right.
The dad took his story online to see whether or not what he did was wrong. People assured him that his daughter needed to learn a lesson, and that was a way to do it.
However, others asked why he didn’t choose another punishment, like asking her to do house chores or taking away her phone.
He admitted that he already tried all of these. His daughter deliberately stopped eating for days to get out of the house chores punishment, and it ended with a trip to the emergency room.
