A Vacation Return Turned into a Domestic Drama
After a refreshing vacation, our heroine returned to a home that resembled a junkyard more than a family abode. Her husband, the ‘Game Master’, had been too busy battling virtual foes to clean up. Despite knowing his wife’s aversion to mess, he chose the path of least resistance – video games over brooms. When confronted, he played the ‘busy-at-work’ card, which didn’t quite cut it. Our heroine, refusing to be the default cleaner, took her kids and checked into a hotel, leaving the Game Master to deal with his self-created chaos. Will he clean up his act, or will the standoff continue? Only time will tell!
