Teen demands hot food or no visit to dad’s house

A 17-year-old girl has refused to visit her dad because of her dislike for her stepmom’s parenting style. She claims her little sister has never eaten a hot meal because her stepmom thinks it might burn her mouth. The girl also revealed that she is confined to her room after 7 pm and has to eat cold food, which is difficult for her because of her limited diet. She has now demanded that her dad provide her with hot meals if she is to visit him this summer. The situation has caused a rift between the girl and her family, with her mom calling her an a**hole for being so ‘spoiled.’ What do you think? Should the girl compromise and visit her dad despite the cold food, or is she right to demand hot meals? Share your thoughts and opinions below.
