When it comes to birthdays, everyone wants to make it special for their loved ones. However, things can become complicated when different family members have different ideas of what qualifies as a special meal. In this case, a husband’s decision to take his daughter to Denny’s on her birthday sparked an argument with his wife who only likes high-end restaurants.

Despite his wife’s complaints about the food, the man stood his ground and reminded her that this was their daughter’s special day. When his wife refused to stop complaining, he even went as far as giving her the car keys and told her to go to a high-end restaurant of her choice while he and the kids stayed at Denny’s.

Although the wife stormed out and didn’t return home that night, the man is now questioning if he was too harsh. What do you think? Read on for some reactions and comments from people who have read the story .
