Father takes back promised money for daughter’s trip after refusing to watch siblings

A father has been accused of being too harsh on his daughter after he took back the money he promised to pay for her trip with friends. This came after she refused to babysit her younger siblings for one evening while he and his wife celebrated their anniversary. The daughter, who left her summer job recently, had been promised $80 for the trip. The father, who was unable to find a babysitter at short notice, argued that his daughter should have been willing to help out, but the daughter disagreed. The dispute has led to a breakdown in communication between the two, with the daughter giving her father the cold shoulder. Reddit users are divided over who is in the right, with some suggesting that the father was unreasonable, while others believe the daughter should have been more responsible.
