The Uninvited: A Tale of Disregarded Boundaries
Our protagonist, the only one in her friend group without kids, is tired of her friends bringing their children to her home and causing damage to her expensive furniture. She decides to host an adults-only dinner party, but her friends bring their kids anyway, thinking it’s funny. The aftermath leaves her home in disarray, with scratches on her glass table, stains on her wooden floor, and broken glassware. When a friend later comes over to borrow tools, they bring their kids again, despite our protagonist’s request. Finally fed up, she tells them to leave and find their tools elsewhere. While her friends are shocked by her response, she’s determined to set boundaries and not let them in with kids from now on. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
