Birthday Drama and a Newborn Baby
Our protagonist and his wife Amelia welcomed their first child, a baby girl, after a long and exhausting labor. Amidst the chaos, our new dad completely forgot about his mom’s birthday, which happened to fall on the same weekend. When he finally realized his mistake and apologized, his mom accused Amelia of purposely going into labor to steal her spotlight! Our hero, annoyed by this ridiculous claim, told his mom to leave them alone and that she wasn’t welcome at their house for a few days. Now, the whole family is calling him an a**hole and a bad son for not letting his mom meet her grandbaby. ♂️ All they want is to enjoy their new baby in peace, but it seems like drama just won’t leave them alone. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
