Imagine being excluded from a family tradition for a decade, only to find out when your dad wants your son to join in. That's what happened to a mom (46F) who discovered her dad (75M) and brothers have been having secret weekly lunches for the past ten years. Now, her dad wants her autistic son (8M) to join the tradition, but there's a catch: she and her daughter are still not allowed to be in the same restaurant. 🤯🍽️

Exclusion, Autism, and Family Drama: The Ultimate Lunch Dilemma 🍽️🧩
This mom was left stunned after discovering her dad and brothers have been excluding her from weekly family lunches for a decade. Now, her dad wants her autistic son to join the tradition, but with a catch: she and her daughter still can't be in the same restaurant. Despite her son's autism and the family's lack of understanding, her dad insists she drop him off at his house, 45 minutes away. 😤🚗 Faced with the dilemma, she ultimately decides not to let her son attend these lunches, at least for now. Let's see what the internet thinks of this family drama... 🤔💬
