Raising pets means that you have to put them over trivial things and spend time with them. It might be much harder for a high school student with a part-time job to care for a pet.

The Reddit user u/throwaway32112321123, the father of a 16-year-old girl, has been criticized heavily after forcing his daughter to rehome her dog. The teenager adopted a dog a few months ago. Following her parent’s requirements, she took responsibility for the dog regarding finance and care.

The poster was fine with the pet until his daughter took up a part-time job. She had to be in charge of the work and the studying, so the time spent with her dog would inevitably decline. Consequently, the Redditor felt sorry for the dog as it could not play with its owner as much as before.

Based on the father’s experience, he advised his daughter to care for her pet more. He did not intend to help her as it was necessary for her to become the dog’s most important person in case she moved out with it in the future.Source: r/AmItheAsshole
The teen tried to follow her dad’s advice, but the problem snowballed in the summer when she had to spend more hours at work. Her father pulled the trigger and determined she had to rehome her pet. Finally, the girl gave in and sought a new owner for the dog after many rows and quarrels with her father.

After giving the pet up, the teenager felt upset and gave her dad the cold shoulder. Nonetheless, the poster insisted that he was in the right, and all he did was for the sake of his daughter.

The post gained over 2,500 comments, and most Reddit users disapproved of the father's inconsiderate actions. Netizens claimed that he was too harsh when forcing his young daughter to pay for her needs and stuff for her pet. He should have given her a hand as her parent instead of punishing her for not satisfying his unreasonable requirements. Many indicated that the poster did not want the pet in the first place, so he tried to get rid of the poor dog.

Some thought the teenager shouldn’t have adopted a pet when her parents were not fond of the idea. The dog needed a forever home instead of being rehomed frequently for trivial reasons.
