My sister sent me a Facebook reel where a woman role played a manager asking her employee to stay late. The employee wasn’t having it so the manager pulled the family card. The employee said they were gonna block the manager then. She ended with “toodleloo sis.” And I realized when they say we’re a family, what they really mean is I’m your parent and you will do what I say. I always thought it was a way to guilt trip, saying family helps each other out. No, it is more sinister than that.
