A 53-year-old man has a daughter who is 17, and his daughter uses her own hard-earned money to purchase special snacks for herself to enjoy.

Now, his wife will invite her siblings and their kids over to the house pretty frequently, and then all of these family members end up eating his daughter’s snacks without asking her first.

Although his daughter has asked their family to please not eat her snacks on several different occasions, nobody has respected her wishes.

“For reference, she likes to order snacks from other countries as a way to broaden her horizons; she’s also linguistically gifted and likes to try and read labels to help expand her vocabulary,” he explained.

“These snacks can take weeks to get after she orders them again, and by then, her current snacks are gone.”

“My wife didn’t do anything, saying that since our daughter kept them in the pantry, they’re for everyone. She moved them to her room, and her cousins would go in when she wasn’t and take them.”

Well, he decided to intervene. He made a trip to his local hardware store and bought a big bin that locked.

He then took it home, drilled a couple of more holes in the bin, and added a few more locks to it as well.

He then gave the bin to his daughter so that she could finally protect her snacks from their family members.

“Our daughter cried and thanked me because it was pretty expensive and not something she could afford,” he said.

“Of course, the cousins went to get more snacks and threw a fit when they saw it and realized the snacks were in there. They told their parents, and they told my wife, and she’s not happy with me, saying that our daughter should share her snacks with family and she’s being selfish and will get fat.”

“Our daughter is incredibly fit, does multiple sports, and exercises all the time; she’s far from unhealthy. I told my wife she could order her own, and our daughter was happy to tell her where to order them, but she didn’t like that either and told her that the chest needs to go and that I should’ve consulted her on buying the bin in the first place.”

He added that their pantry at home has tons of snacks in there that their family members could eat instead.

He’s left wondering if it was wrong of him to buy this bin for his daughter. What do you think?
