Single Mom Stands Her Ground: ‘Her Baggage Isn’t My Issue’

Being a single mom of three kids is no easy feat, but this 28-year-old woman has taken it all in stride. From becoming a foster parent to a mentor program child to taking in her brother and even being 25 weeks pregnant, she’s been through it all. However, her sister Bri, who’s been struggling with infertility, doesn’t seem to share the same enthusiasm for her growing family. The tension between the two sisters recently reached a boiling point during a family dinner, and the internet is buzzing about it. ️
