Tired of her cold, callous mother-in-law ruining her husband Bill\u2019s birthday, Lila decides to hide Carol\u2019s gift. She wants to spare Bill the hurt and disappointment he feels every year from his mother\u2019s thoughtless presents. However, when Lila\u2019s secret is revealed, it triggers a series of events that lead to her being called out by the family.\n
Bill sat on the couch, visibly tense about his upcoming birthday. \u201cDo you think she\u2019ll care this time?\u201d he asked, trying to sound nonchalant.\n
Lila sighed, placing a reassuring hand on his. \u201cMaybe, but we\u2019re celebrating you, not her. We\u2019ll have a great time, no matter what.\u201d\n

But when the truth came out, the family turned against her, accusing her of ruining the relationship. Despite the fallout, Bill realized it was time for new traditions, ones that didn\u2019t hinge on his mother\u2019s approval.\n
