2023 definitely started off on a bad note for this couple!

Don't forget to call your Mother this weekend!

Aren't families wonderful? Having someone in your life who insists on making everything about themselves is challenging… to say the least. Hijacking events to suit her own preference is probably only the tip of a very large hidden iceberg when it comes to dealing with this stepmother.
