Dad vs. Daughter: Cabin Vacation Showdown

So, here we have a dad who just wants to enjoy a relaxing vacation with his adult daughter at their family cabin. But when she asks to bring her half-siblings along, he makes it clear that she’ll have to be the one to take care of them. His daughter calls him selfish and an a**hole, but he stands his ground, reminding her that she’s an adult now and they’re not his kids.
