Reddit User Slammed By Girlfriend For Not Punishing Their Daughter For Stealing Cookies

Parenthood is incredibly difficult, and it's the longest and most challenging period of someone's life because there's a new issue every day that needs to be handled, and most parents are always looking for the best way to do it. Being a perfect parent is impossible because while you believe that being tough is the right way, sometimes it's impossible to be tough on your kid when they look at you with their cute little eyes.

It feels like every step you make when it comes to raising your kid is questionable, and you'll often find yourself wondering if you did the right thing. It's impossible to be the perfect parent that does everything right because we're all humans, and we all make mistakes.

Another thing that comes into play when raising a child is your partner's opinion because you must be both on the same page when it comes to the different methods of parenting and handling the little issues that come up daily. It seems like this is the issue that the couple in this story has because OP's girlfriend didn't like the way he handled the delicate situation regarding their daughter's stealing tendencies.

The issue in question, and the reason why OP decided to share this story on Reddit, is the fact that their daughter would often steal a few cookies when no one was looking and take them to her room. OP caught her in the act one day, and after confronting her about it, she didn't admit it until he threatened to tell mom about it.

The daughter grabbed OP and started apologizing and hugging him, but OP buckled from the look of the daughter's big blue eyes, and he let her off with a "Don't do it again." His girlfriend was furious that he didn't tell her about this immediately and that he had to be more strict with her, or she'll keep doing it.

OP was unsure if he did the right thing, so he turned to Reddit to see what other people had to say about this situation, so make sure you scroll down and see what they had to say.
