The Great Babysitting Showdown: Grandma vs. DIL's "Firsts" Rule!
Well, well, well... looks like Grandma's found herself in quite the predicament! With a daughter-in-law who's got a mile-long list of "firsts" she wants to be present for and a grandson who's bored out of his mind, it's no wonder Grandma's at her wit's end. She's tried to reason with DIL, suggesting a little relaxation of the rules, but that only led to accusations of memory-stealing and blackmail! Yikes! It's a classic case of good intentions gone awry. Now, let's see what the internet has to say about this family feud...
