🏔️ The Aunt Who Chose Adventures Over Family Ties 🤷‍♀️

The Adventurous Aunt finds herself in a tricky situation when her sister suggests sending her nieces to stay with her for a few weeks during the summer. 😲 Despite never having met them and feeling like her family hasn't made an effort to stay connected, the Aunt is expected to change her plans and bond with the girls. 👧👧 She questions the benefits of getting to know her nieces and stands her ground, refusing to alter her summer adventures. 🙅‍♀️ This leads to a heated exchange with her sister and a scathing email from her mom, leaving the Aunt wondering if she's being an a-hole for prioritizing her own interests. 🤔 Let's see what the internet has to say about this family drama! 🍿
