A Nutty Prank, an ER Visit, and a Family at Odds: Who’s the Real Culprit? ♀️
So, there you have it. A seemingly harmless craving for Snickers spiraled into a family feud, all because of a prank gone wrong. With the stepmom being berated for her ‘carelessness’, the father defending her, and the twins regretting their prank, it’s a real whirlwind of emotions. The question now is, who’s really at fault here? The stepmom who couldn’t tell the twins apart, the twins who swapped wristbands, or the parents who left the girls unsupervised? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
NTA: OP responsibly managed stepdaughter’s allergy, but prank went too far

Mom with nut allergy deals with mistaken twin identity prank.

“NTA. Kids took steps to be wrong. Mother blaming you.”

“NTA This was an honest mistake on your part. The root cause is that the kids were lying, but unfortunately, kids lie. As a parent, you have to account for that possibility. I recommend you don’t give nuts to either one just to play it safe. Their mom is overreacting, probably as an excuse to get on to you. If their dad is okay with nuts in the house, that’s the end of it.” – Commenter defends stepmom’s mistake amidst family drama
