Family Feud or Fair Play? The Saga Continues…
In the heart of this family drama lies a simple question: does being a dad mean showing up for the mundane as much as the milestones? While the court of public opinion rages on, with accusations of selfishness and exclusion, one thing remains clear – Bas is too busy enjoying his new four-legged friend to bother with the adults’ squabble. And maybe, just maybe, that’s the lesson here: sometimes, the best response to chaos is to find your joy and stick to it. ❤️
