Grandma’s Funeral Fiasco: The Final Straw in a Lifetime of Favoritism
Our protagonist has reached her breaking point after a lifetime of being treated as “lesser than” her step-sister, Lilith. The blatant favoritism and double standards have left her feeling like a third-class citizen in her own family. But when Lilith tries to take the eulogy at their grandmother’s funeral – a role our protagonist, named after her grandma, always thought would be hers – it’s the final straw. She refuses to participate in the funeral if she can’t give the eulogy, tired of always giving things up for Lilith. Her family calls her petty, but is she really the a-hole for standing up for herself? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this emotional family drama! ️
