It sounds like you’re sharing a creative story based on real-life dynamics around entitlement, boundaries, and family expectations. The tale highlights the importance of setting limits when generosity is taken for granted, and standing up for oneself when someone oversteps.
In the story, Sarah sets a powerful example by using the handbag situation to mirror her sister-in-law Jenny’s audacious demand for a stroller.
