A Father’s Struggle: Is His Punishment Just or Just Too Much? ♂️
A single dad finds himself in a moral quandary after his son’s prank on an overweight teammate spirals into bullying. The dad, usually lenient, decides to drop the hammer with a severe grounding – no phone, no internet, no TV, and a bucket load of chores. On top of that, an apology letter to the victim and his parents is mandatory. The son, however, thinks the punishment is too harsh. The dad insists it’s a necessary lesson, but he can’t help questioning his actions. Is he being too harsh or is this just the tough love his son needs? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this.
