😱 Family Drama Unfolds Over Epic Camping Trip! 🏕️🔥
Well, well, well! Looks like our protagonist is in quite the pickle! 😅 He's been dreaming of this epic camping trip with his dad and bro for ages, only to have his dad's new girlfriend's kid potentially crash the party. 😒 Talk about a buzzkill! 🙄 Our hero puts his foot down and says it's a no-go if Toby tags along, but his dad's not having it. 😤 Even mom gets involved, trying to convince him to just suck it up and go. 🙏 But our guy's not backing down! 💪 He's sticking to his guns, even if it means missing out on the trip of a lifetime. 😢 So, what does the internet think? 🤔 Is he being a total a-hole for refusing to bond with his potential future stepbro, or is he justified in wanting to keep this trip sacred? 🙊 Let's see what the masses have to say! 📢
Don't force bonding on someone. OP deserves a special camping time.
