‘I cancelled my daughter’s 16th birthday party after her disgraceful behaviour’
A man said that he cancelled his daughter’s 16th birthday party and had no regrets even though some people thought it was harsh, as her behaviour had been so bad.
A man cancelled his daughter’s 16th birthday party after giving her repeated warnings about her behaviour – but she failed to be good and almost hospitalised one of her friends.
Sharing his story anonymously, the man said that he promised his daughter she could have a party if she did well in school and stayed out of trouble.
Things were going well and they organised a celebration, but then the man got a call from his daughter’s teacher and was told that she had snuck a water bottle full of booze into school.
The man was shocked and punished his daughter, in part by cancelling her birthday party – and while some have said that was harsh he has stood behind the decision.
What do you think of the dad’s reaction? Let us know in the comments…
Taking to Reddit, he said: “My daughter has been struggling keeping her grades up and hanging out with the wrong crowd. I have hired a few tutors to help with some subjects and she is seeing a therapist.
“She will lash out sometimes at home and I will have to punish her.
“She asked if she could celebrate her 16th birthday party at the house and I told her that I was fine with having a party as long as she stayed out of trouble and did well on her math test.
“The party is scheduled for the weekend of January 14th and we have about 10 of her friends coming over.
“I get a call from the school on Wednesday that she had snuck in a water bottle filled with alcohol and one of her friends had to be sent to the nurse.
“I went to pick her up and she tells me that her one friend pressured her into bringing the bottle to school. She will serve in-school suspension for five days.
