A busy dad rarely had time to spend with his two daughters, Chloe, 12, and Hope, 14. His work schedule was overwhelming, and he entrusted his wife with staying with the girls daily.

The man left credit cards with his wife, Jenna, to compensate for his absence and ensure they were well cared for. He asked her to take the kids to the mall so they could buy what they wanted each week.

One day, the man noticed that while Chloe always enjoyed new things, Hope seemed to have none. He decided to ask her daughter about it, but she wouldn't say anything.

A couple of days later, the man was at work when Hope sent him a 37-minute-long recording of their trip to the mall with Chloe and their stepmom.

His Wife Treated His Two Daughters Differently

The concerned dad didn't want to push the issue further, but he ensured she knew how much he cared for her and was always there to hear her out.

A couple of days later, the man was at work when Hope sent him a 37-minute-long recording of their trip to the mall with Chloe and their stepmom. He listened to it after getting off work and couldn't believe what he'd heard.

In the recording, Hope told her stepmom that she wanted a bag. Jenna told the girl they didn't have enough money to buy the bag.

Hope insisted that Jenna had enough money with her, but her stepmom insisted they couldn't get the bag because she needed to buy things for Chloe. When Hope kept pleading to get the bag, Jenna could be heard snapping in the voice recording. She yelled:

"Why don't you go look for your biological dad and ask him to buy it for you if you want it so badly?"

The man was appalled. He couldn't continue listening to the recording because he was upset with his wife. He immediately rushed to Jenna and his two daughters. She asked them to go to their rooms, and he confronted his wife about the tape.

The Man Confronted His Wife – She Denied Everything

Initially, she denied ever saying such a thing. However, when the man played the recording, she began to defend herself.

She said she didn't mean it that way and that both he and Hope took her words out of context. Still, the man didn't believe his wife. He accused her of mistreating Hope and favoring his biological daughter over his adopted one.

To the proud dad, he saw his daughters equally. He didn't favor one over the other and loved them both.

After the argument, the man did something that angered his wife greatly: he revoked her credit card access. When Jenna found out, she was livid.

She accused her husband of being unfair, mentioning how much she's done for his children. The man didn't budge even though his wife kept yelling at him. The woman moved out and stayed with her sister. While the couple hasn't spoken since, Jenna keeps in close contact with her stepdaughter Chloe.

The man's sister-in-law called his decision to revoke her access to the credit cards "abuse," but he doesn't think so. He sought advice online on whether he was mean for doing so.

People on the internet wondered why the man chose only to revoke access to his credit cards given what she did. They thought the man was better off without his wife in the picture because of how she treated his children.

What do you think of the man's story? Did he do the right thing by cutting his wife off?
