Stubborn 49-year-old Dad refuses to give up man cave to daughter and future son-in-law during their visit 'It's not just a hobby, [it's] art!'

Talk about not leaving a good impression on your future son-in-law! We understand, of course, that as people get older, they become more set in their ways. That being said, hospitality is a virtue, and this stubborn guy's midlife crisis seems to be getting in the way of his sense of decency.

The first time future in-laws meet can have, for better or for worse, lasting repercussions. You want to be your true self to people with whom you might be spending lots of time in the future, but you also need to retain some semblance of politeness and kindness. After all, you can always be your full, stubborn self after people get to know you. If you show all those cards at the first meeting, you may accidentally ruin your kid's relationship. Thankfully, this couple seemed pretty united on all fronts, so there was nothing the father's strange antics could do to seriously alter their relationship, but I wouldn't be surprised if the next time they visit, they opt to stay at a nearby hotel instead.

After becoming an empty-nester, this father decided to deal with his impending midlife crisis by converting his guest room into a room full of miniatures, complete with 3D model printers, etc. Now, this is not to disparage this man's hobbies. In fact, it's a pretty cool way to channel effort and artistic energy. That being said, there is a perfectly usable king-sized bed in there that he refused to give up when his daughter and son-in-law were visiting. Instead, he made them sleep on the pull-out couch. Keep scrolling below for the full story and for the savage feedback he received in the comments from members of this online community.
