Shrimp Showdown: Who’s in the Wrong?
In a household where the father pays for groceries and the daughter lives rent-free, a shrimp-related conflict has emerged. After the dad cooked and ate a box of firecracker shrimp, his daughter left a note accusing him of stealing her food. The father believes that unlabeled food in the fridge or freezer is fair game, and he’s tired of being called an a**hole for eating food he found in his own house. After a family discussion, they reached an agreement: the daughter will label food she buys with her own money, and the father won’t eat it. Meanwhile, he still wants her to save money by living rent-free. But what do you think? Is the dad in the wrong for eating the shrimp, or is the daughter overreacting? Share your thoughts below!
