When a father fails to force his daughter to be friends with her cousin, his wife takes matters into her own hands. But when she forces the two to video call, the daughter’s brutal takedown of her cousin’s personality the next day leaves the family divided. While the father believes their daughter wouldn’t have been pushed to this point if his wife hadn’t been so insistent on their relationship, he’s beginning to have second thoughts about the punishment.

Daughter’s cruel takedown of cousin during family video call
Family relationships can be complicated, and sometimes, despite our best efforts, certain individuals just don’t click. In this case, a mother’s expectations of her daughter and her cousin being best friends were misplaced. Despite her daughter’s clear dislike of her cousin, the mother continued to push for a relationship, leading to a cruel takedown during a family video call. While the father saw the situation as unimportant and outside of his control, the daughter took matters into her own hands and created a PowerPoint presentation titled “Valid Reasons to Dislike [Cousin].” While the daughter’s actions were certainly mean, the situation begs the question: who is really at fault here?
