While two of her kids embraced the challenge, her daughter wasn't too thrilled about it, accusing her mom of enforcing gender stereotypes. This disagreement has now turned into a full-blown family feud! 😮👨🍳👩🍳 So, is this mom in the wrong for teaching her kids these life skills? Let's dive into the story...
