Imagine working hard to save up for the perfect birthday gift for your chronically ill son, only to have it broken by your brothers-in-law before he even gets to use it. That’s exactly what happened to this father, who was already struggling with medical expenses for his 12-year-old son. The boy has a chronic heart disease, which prevents him from engaging in many physical activities. For his birthday, his father bought him an Xbox, hoping it would bring some joy and excitement to his life. But when the father discovered the broken gaming device, family drama ensued.

This father’s heart was shattered when he found out his brothers-in-law broke the Xbox he bought for his chronically ill son’s birthday. The two men had been playing with the device when one of them dropped it, causing it to crack and become damaged. The father demanded they pay for the broken gift, but his wife called him unreasonable, as they could barely afford rent. After a heated argument, the father banned the brothers-in-law from attending the birthday party. The in-laws claimed it was an accident and that he overreacted. What do you think? Was the father too harsh, or did the brothers-in-law deserve to be banned?
