Did She Go Too Far? 😬
This sister's no-holds-barred conversation about parenting has left her little sister and her husband rethinking their plans for children. From discussing the possibility of twins and autism to financial stability and lifelong responsibility, she didn't shy away from the tough topics. Now, her parents are furious, calling her a monster for scaring them away from having kids. But her husband thinks she did the right thing, although he suggests she could have approached it differently. What do you think? Was she too harsh, or just telling it like it is? Let's see what people have to say... 💬
