The Fallout: Who’s to Blame?
So there you have it – a dream trip to Japan turned into a nightmare for two sisters who missed the flight due to oversleeping and car troubles. The woman who planned the trip stands by her decision to leave without them, while her sisters argue she was too harsh and should’ve waited. It’s a classic case of punctuality versus flexibility, and now a rift has formed between the siblings. What do you think – was she right to leave without them, or should she have been more understanding? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
NTA. You set boundaries and stuck to them.
