Summary: A Change-Related Conflict 🎭
A 17-year-old boy visiting his dad found himself in a conflict with his dad's girlfriend, Tessa, after refusing to give her his change from a Walmart purchase. His dad called him stingy, but the teen argued that it was weird for Tessa to ask him for money. Tessa later made comments about her daughter not being entitled. The teen worries that if he gives in now, he'll be expected to hand over his change every time he visits. What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments below! 👇
