A Family Feud: Fitness or Freedom?
This loving dad’s attempt to keep his daughter active during the pandemic has sparked a family feud. His daily father-daughter runs, initially intended to curb Susan’s growing screen time and junk food intake, have been misinterpreted as fat-shaming by Susan’s mom. The mom argues that kids should be allowed to indulge in TV and snacks during the summer, leading to heated arguments and even threats of sending Susan away for the summer. But our dad insists he’s just trying to promote a healthy lifestyle. Let’s see how the internet feels about this family drama.
