Single Dad Cancels Daughter's Date After She Refused To Let Him Meet The Boy - AITA?

Hey there, being a parent is tough, am I right? You want to be involved in your kid's life, but you also want to give them space to grow and make their own decisions. In this week's 'Am I the A-hole?' post, we have a single dad (u/Downtown_Ant_1320), who's trying to navigate his daughter's teenage years all on his own. She recently got asked out on a pizza date, and he said she could go, but only after he met the boy first. Sounds reasonable, right? But on the night of the date, his daughter tried to make a run for it because she was too embarrassed for them to meet. Talk about drama! Keep reading to find out if this dad was in the wrong or not.

It seems clear that most of the internet sides with OP, not his sister or daughter. Hopefully, with time, his daughter understands he's just trying to look out for her.
