A mom , who has been separated from her husband for a year and is on the brink of divorce, sparked a family feud after her comment at her ex-MIL’s party. She has been communicating with the nanny who takes care of her two kids during her ex-husband’s time as he is usually unavailable. At the party, her ex-MIL praised them for co-parenting well, and the mom responded by saying she loves co-parenting with the nanny. This caused a backlash from her ex-husband and his family. She is now asking if she’s the a**hole.
