Imagine inviting your family over for a vacation, only for things to take a dramatic turn. A woman (29F) invited her half-brother James (37), his wife Lindsay (35), and their two kids to visit her for a week. While the woman and Lindsay have always gotten along, Lindsay’s attitude towards the woman being a stay-at-home wife/mother has been a point of contention. Little did they know, a night of wine and rooftop conversations would lead to an explosive situation.
