Our hero, sticking up for his wife, tells Mom she’s not welcome to meet her granddaughter until she gets over her fit. But now, the whole family is calling him an a**hole! So, what do you think? Is he in the wrong or just trying to protect his little family? Let’s dive into the story…

Our protagonist and his wife, Amelia, were in the hospital for days as Amelia went through a long and painful labor. During this time, he completely forgot about his mom’s birthday, which happened to fall on a Saturday. When he finally got around to replying to messages after their baby girl was born, he discovered his mom’s angry texts. He called to apologize, but Mom accused Amelia of purposely going into labor around her birthday to steal the spotlight. Annoyed, he told her she wasn’t welcome at their house until she got over her fit. Now, the whole family is calling him an a**hole and a bad son. But all he wants is to enjoy his new baby with Amelia, without any drama. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
