Picture this: you're hosting a special celebration for a dear friend's homecoming and 30th birthday. You've got friends from all over, some even flying in for the occasion. The drinks are flowing, and everyone's having a great time. But then, an uninvited guest shows up - your husband's sister, who's been struggling with alcohol. She asks you to stop everyone from drinking, but she doesn't want anyone to know why. What would you do? 🤔🍾

A Party Dilemma: Support or Celebrate? 🎊🤷
Our hosts found themselves in quite the predicament when their uninvited sister-in-law showed up and demanded they stop the party from drinking. They didn't want to ruin the celebration for their friend, but they also didn't want to disregard the sister's struggle with alcohol. Ultimately, they chose not to ask their guests to stop drinking, leading to the sister leaving in tears and upset parents. Was their decision justified, or should they have put the party on hold for their sister-in-law? 🍷😥 Let's see what the internet has to say about this situation...
NTA: AA meetings were a better option for her to choose. 👍
