Families always have a complicated dynamic. Because nobody has a perfect family, most people can relate to having a family group chat go completely awry, even when the best efforts and intentions are made. One woman knows better than anyone that a family chat can go south in an instant. Recently a girl named Mikayla was attempting to get the family reunited to celebrate the birthday of their grandma all together. To do so, she reached out to a large group of family members – aunts, cousins, siblings – in order to find a day and time that worked for everybody. When Aunt Debi immediately tried to make excuses to get out of things and when Mikayla provokes a real answer, everything went horribly wrong.

Aunt Debi immediately went on a rampage claiming that she was tired of dealing with their whole family, nobody was keeping in touch, and nobody ever made efforts to get together... In the group chat… Where Mikayla was literally trying to make a plan so everyone could get together…. And trying to make time for a family gathering.

Things get much worse after Aunt Debi's confused response and it becomes clear why this toxic family never gets together– apparently nobody can actually read the messages sent to them and respond in an appropriate way. Mikayla did her best to do something nice in honor of her grandma, but it all backfired with everyone decided to simply be petty.
