But this 39-year-old dad, who is also deaf, thought he had everything under control when he organized a slumber party for his 11-year-old daughter. Little did he know, a confrontation with one of the guests’ moms would lead to an emotional rollercoaster and leave him questioning if he was in the wrong for not disclosing his disability.
