Living in a shared space can be tricky, especially when it comes to boundaries. One tenant found themselves in a tough spot when their neighbor's 6-year-old son started to rely on them for food and entertainment. The situation escalated when the tenant's boyfriend brought over pizza and snacks for an early Valentine's Day celebration, leaving the little boy heartbroken. But who's really in the wrong here? Let's dive into the story. 😬

Boundaries Crossed or Just a Misunderstanding? 🤔
This tale of shared living and crossed boundaries has left many wondering who's in the right. The tenant, who just wanted to enjoy their living space without being responsible for their neighbor's child, or Cody, the father who may have needed a helping hand? While the situation has been resolved for now, with Dean spending his days elsewhere, it's clear that the relationship between these neighbors may never be the same. What do you think about this sticky situation? Let's see what the internet has to say... 🍿
