Imagine this: You’re a new mom, enjoying the precious moments of your maternity leave. The last thing you want is to be bothered by work, right? Well, that’s exactly what our heroine, let’s call her ‘Cousin Commander’, decided. She wanted some peace and quiet before diving back into the corporate chaos. But when her business-owner cousin needed her help, she was nowhere to be found. Result? Drama, accusations, and a family feud that’s hotter than a summer barbecue!

Maternity Leave vs. Work Crisis: Who Wins?
So, here’s the scoop: ‘Cousin Commander’, a top executive at her cousin’s company, decided to go off the grid during her maternity leave. Despite handling a few work crises in the past, she wanted some peace before her leave ended. But when a client crisis arose and she was unreachable, the company lost the client and the cousin lost his cool. Accusations flew, with the cousin calling her selfish and the family backing him up. Our heroine, however, stood her ground, insisting on her right to undisturbed leave. Now, with more clients up for renewal, the tension is higher than ever! Is she right to prioritize her maternity leave, or should family loyalty come first? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this spicy situation…
