“Think of the Children!”

Family Feud Reaches Boiling Point at BBQ!
The tension reached a breaking point at a recent family BBQ, where our protagonist’s paternal family unleashed a barrage of accusations against his mom, calling her “evil” and “soulless” for not taking in his step and half siblings during a crisis 11 years ago. But our hero wasn’t having it! He clapped back, reminding them that his mom had no obligation to care for kids who weren’t her family and that their poor planning was to blame. The family was furious, playing the “think of the children” card, but our protagonist stood his ground. Let’s see what the internet has to say about this sizzling hot mess!
