When my husband gave me a scary ultimatum, he didn’t expect me to stand up for myself and our children. His demand to have another child to carry on the family name was unreasonable, considering we already had five beautiful daughters. One night, Danny sternly insisted, “Lisa, we need a son.”
His tone stung, and I realized this was an ultimatum. “Are you saying you’d leave me if I don’t give you a son?” I asked, my voice trembling.
Danny hesitated, but the implication was clear. That night, I decided to teach him a lesson. The next morning, I packed a bag and left him with the kids.
Watching him struggle through the day via surveillance cameras was both amusing and eye-opening. By the end of the second day, Danny was begging me to come back. Realizing the strain I managed daily, he promised to never pressure me again and became more involved with our family.
