Blended family camping trips already have the drama dial at eleven, but things pick up fast when teenage stepkids decide to test every boundary on-site. Dad says no to a late-night hang with some older, tipsy boys. Stepmom backs him up, gets called every name under the sun, and spends the next two days wondering why basic respect isn’t on the packing list. Nobody apologizes, everyone retreats, and suddenly «family bonding» means hiding out on separate sides of the tent.
Back home, birthday dinner becomes the main event for Bad Vibes Only. Tension is thick, apologies are nowhere, and the roast is hot. Step mom sticks to her word and skips serving the girls, letting them know where their own attitude got them. Carnage follows, screaming, cursing, and a new record for teenage theatrics. Partner keeps silent, then blames her for ruining the party, offering about as much backup as a cheap folding chair.
