A Milestone Birthday Overshadowed
Our birthday girl was left feeling frustrated and upset when her big brother scheduled his wedding around her 30th birthday, without any consideration or communication. Despite her attempts to confront him and offer an olive branch, her brother remained unapologetic. She’s now decided to make the best of the situation by inviting her family to a birthday lunch and enjoying the celebrations regardless. But the question remains: was it too much to ask for a little consideration and communication? ♀️
