The Favor Fallout: When Family Ties Turn Into Tug-of-War ♀️
In a world where ‘family first’ is the motto, sometimes the lines can get as tangled as last year’s Christmas lights. Our tale spun a web of broken promises, a daughter’s unpaid labor, and a sister-in-law who’s about as reliable as a chocolate teapot. ☕ But when the tables turned, our protagonist drew a line in the sandbox. With sass and a no-nonsense attitude, she taught us all a lesson in standing up for ourselves. And now, the silence of no more favors echoes louder than a dropped pin at a family gathering. Let’s see what the court of public opinion has to say about this household hullabaloo…
Not the a**hole, karma’s a funny thing

Standing up for fair payment and setting boundaries. NTA for sure!
