Family dilemmas: what would you do?
Family is where loyalty runs deepest and boundaries get tested hardest. You cannot easily walk away, and everyone remembers everything. A sibling asks you to lie to your parents. A relative wants to borrow money again. Your sister stops speaking to your parents and asks you to take her side. Every choice ripples through birthdays, holidays and group chats for years. The dilemmas below are the everyday versions of those moments. Pick a side on each one and see how other people chose when it was their family.

Your sibling asks you to lie to your parents about where they were last night.
Your sister has stopped speaking to your parents and asks you to skip Sunday dinners too, to make a point.
A parent keeps steering how you live your life. Tonight they start again over dinner.
