His Daughter Lied About Going To A Football Game, So Now He’s Refusing To Let Her Attend The Homecoming Dance
This guy’s 14-year-old daughter recently moved in with him. Before that, his daughter lived with her mom ever since she was 3-years-old.
He claimed that he was always present in his daughter’s life, seeing her every weekend and celebrating every holiday with him.
However, this is the first time she’s lived with him, and he moved in at the beginning of summer break.
After moving in, his daughter also expressed an interest in playing volleyball. So, he wanted to help her make that happen.
“Every day, we would practice so she could try out for the freshman team,” he recalled.
“She made the team and has been doing great.”
Now, she typically has volleyball practice right after school four days a week. The practice normally ends at 5:30 p.m., but sometimes, it ends early at 5:00 p.m. His daughter’s coach will let her know in advance if it’s supposed to end early, too.
Anyway, this week, his daughter told him that practice would end at 5:00 p.m. yesterday and today since her coach has an appointment.
“Cool, I’ll be there at 5:00 p.m. to pick you up,” he responded.

Well, yesterday at noon, his daughter randomly texted him and told him that practice had been extended back to 5:30 p.m. He was fine with that and didn’t think anything was off. So, he planned to pick her up at that time as usual.
Well, he arrived at 5:20 p.m. and began waiting in the parking lot. However, his daughter never came out. So, by the time 5:40 p.m. rolled around, he texted his daughter to see where she was, and she claimed to have been “helping her coach with something really quick.” His daughter also promised that she would be out soon.
“At that time, I knew she was lying to me,” he admitted.
That’s why, after his daughter got to the car, he decided to confront her and call her out for lying. It was at that point that his daughter confessed and admitted to going to a football game– not attending practice.
“I don’t know why she didn’t tell me she wanted to go,” he vented. “I’m not a strict parent. I would have happily said of course she can go.”
This, coupled with his daughter’s lie, made him pretty angry, too. So, he punished her for lying by refusing to let her attend the homecoming dance next Friday.
And now, he’s not sure whether barring her from attending the dance was the wrong way to handle the situation.
Do you think that the punishment fit the crime? Why do you think his daughter lied about going to the football game? Would you punish your child if they did this? Or encourage more open communication?
