Meet the father of three boys and husband to one amazing woman, who has found a unique way to keep the peace in the family. When his wife has a bad day, her anger can sometimes spill over onto the rest of the family. To help everyone prepare and avoid conflict, he created a group chat called 'Bad Day Alert' with his sons. But when his sister-in-law discovers the chat and spills the beans to his wife, things take a dramatic turn. 😬

Was the 'Bad Day Alert' Group Chat a Mistake? 🤷
This father thought he was doing a good thing by creating a group chat to warn his sons when their mom was having a bad day. They'd use the alerts to avoid conflict and help her decompress. But when his wife found out, she accused him of teaching their kids to treat her like an angry child. Now he's left wondering if his well-intentioned plan was actually a mistake. Let's see what the internet thinks of this situation... 🍿
