Family Feud: Tradition vs. Equality
This story has it all - family drama, cultural clashes, and a heated debate over a long-standing tradition. Our protagonist finds herself in a sticky situation when she questions her in-laws' mealtime tradition that has the women eating cold leftovers after the men have had their fill. Despite her best efforts to reason with her father-in-law, she's met with resistance and accused of being an a-hole for even bringing it up. Even the other women in the family think she's making a fuss over nothing! But is she the a-hole for wanting equality at the dinner table? Let's see what the internet has to say about this family feud!
