It’s a tale as old as time – a family business, a dedicated daughter, and a dad who’s caught between being a parent and a boss. This story revolves around a small store owner who has his daughter working for him, unpaid. She’s been helping out since she was 14, and now at 18, she’s asking to be paid for her work. But Dad thinks differently. He feels that since he’s providing for her and covering all her living expenses, paying her would be spoiling her. But, is he right? Or is the daughter justified in asking for a paycheck? Let’s dive into their story. ️♀️

A Father’s Dilemma: Pay or Not to Pay?
This is a story of a father caught in a tough spot. His daughter, the unpaid helper, wants to be paid for her work in the family store. But he believes that he’s already providing for her and paying her would be spoiling her. He’s willing to pay for her college and gives her spending money whenever she asks. After some soul-searching, he decides to pay her, but with a condition – he’ll cut back on all the extras. But now, they’re at loggerheads again because she doesn’t want the extras cut back. The question remains – is he right, or is she? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this family feud.
