Imagine buying a thoughtful gift for your wife, only to have it blow up into a massive family argument. That’s exactly what happened to this 44-year-old dad when he bought his wife a trailer for her knitting business. His wife, a former stats analyst, had taken up knitting as a way to cope with the loss of her mother and multiple miscarriages. She found solace in the craft and even started selling her creations at a local market. But when the dad’s mum discovered her daughter-in-law’s new venture, all hell broke loose.
