Brother & Niece Kicked Out Over Slime Mishap!

We all know how important it is to maintain a clean and tidy home, but what happens when a guest breaks the rules? Our protagonist, a 34-year-old woman, invited her brother John and his 12-year-old daughter Emily to stay at her house for a few days to celebrate Emily’s birthday. Emily, who has ADHD, brought along some fidget toys, including the infamous slime. Despite setting some ground rules, things didn’t go as planned, and our protagonist was forced to make a tough decision.

Was Our Protagonist Too Harsh?

After Emily accidentally got slime on the carpet in her aunt’s bedroom, our protagonist decided that her brother and niece needed to stay in a hotel for the rest of their visit.
