Family gatherings and festivities are supposed to bring loved ones together, but Greta’s 40th wedding anniversary had the opposite effect.

Greta urged her daughter-in-law to bring only one child in order to make space in her crowded home.

What she thought was a reasonable request suddenly caused tension, which grew into a major schism. Greta is now seeking advice on how to resolve the matter.

so I asked my son’s wife to only bring my 9-year-old grandson and leave her other three kids (13, 11, and 10) at home.

. My son quickly agreed, and the three of them came to the celebration. However, the whole night, she was oddly quiet.
