Picture this: it’s a cold winter morning, and your teenage son has decided to make some extra cash by shoveling driveways in the neighborhood. He’s doing a great job, but then a neighbor comes knocking at your door, demanding that he shovel her driveway for a lower price than he originally charged. As the dad in this story, you’re faced with a dilemma: do you intervene in your son’s business dealings, or do you let him handle it on his own? This dad chose the latter, and the neighbor wasn’t too happy about it. ❄️

Dad Stands His Ground, But Was It Right?
So, there you have it – a dad who refuses to intervene in his son’s driveway shoveling business, despite the neighbor’s demands. He stands by his decision, believing that his son has the right to charge whatever he wants for his services. The neighbor, on the other hand, thinks the dad is raising an entitled brat. While the dad admits he may not have been the most neighborly, he doesn’t think he’s in the wrong. What do you think – should he have been more empathetic, or was he right to let his son handle the situation on his own? Let’s see what the internet has to say…
