Mother of Three Halts Thanksgiving Dinner: A Bold Stand or a Step Too Far?

Meet our heroine, a 39-year-old mother of three, who’s had enough of the men in her life. After losing her mother to COVID, she moved in with her father to help run the family farm. Juggling her father’s needs, the kids, and the business, she’s been stretched thin. With her husband more interested in fishing than helping, and her brother’s assistance being rejected due to prejudice, she’s decided to take a stand – by refusing to do any work around the house, including cooking Thanksgiving dinner. Let’s dive into her dramatic story. ️
