Parent Kicked Their Daughter Out Of Their House But Kept All Of Her Cats

Parenting is a journey filled with intricate decisions and challenges, often requiring a delicate balance between nurturing and guiding children toward self-sufficiency. In this article, we will share with you an interesting yet dramatic story on the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit. The story is about a parent kicking their daughter out of their house to teach her how to be independent.

The parent (OP) shared that their daughter had an admirable passion for rescuing animals. She spent her entire salary and free time on cats. Though she was approaching her thirties, she still lived with her parents under their roof, and they had to pay for her expenses and take care of her cats. The OP thought that she must be independent and responsible for her own life. So they decided to kick her out of their house.

When the OP shared their story with people online to ask for their opinions, they received different responses. Some said that the OP was not wrong because their grown-up daughter should move out on her own because it would give her a chance to figure herself out in her own space. But some said that the OP was a jerk when they neglected their daughter.
