Dinner Party Drama: Crossing the Line or Standing Up for Oneself?
Our protagonist and her husband, Josh, invite his childhood friend Amy to a dinner party. Amy, who has a history of making snarky comments, takes it too far this time, criticizing their marriage and parenting choices. The situation escalates when Amy judges our protagonist for feeding her baby formula. Unable to hold back any longer, our protagonist tells Amy off, leaving her in tears and causing the party to end abruptly. While some friends support our protagonist, others demand an apology. Tensions rise, and the fallout leads to a split in their friend group. Now, our protagonist and her husband are focusing on their life together, hoping Amy gets the help she needs.
