Imagine adopting your niece because her parents were unfit, and then having to deal with your sister trying to control her diet at school. That’s exactly what happened to one person who just wanted to provide a stable home for their 8-year-old niece. The niece attends a homeschool co-op where a mom provides lunches for the kids, but the sister disapproves of the menu and wants to pack her niece’s lunch instead. The niece, however, enjoys the lunches provided and doesn’t want to be singled out. So, the adoptive parent had to confront their sister and remind her who’s in charge. But now, the family is taking sides. Let’s dive into this family drama, shall we?
