This woman’s twelve-year-old Daughter is a great artist and has been working on one of her largest pieces ever over the last couple of weeks.

But, the daughter recently unveiled her project– which was a semi-realistic charcoal drawing of the family– and wants the woman to Hang it in their home.

The only problem is that the family portrait excluded the woman’s ten-year-old son– which is a choice she believes her daughter made on purpose for two reasons.

“First of all, the portrait depicts me next to my husband and my daughter in between us with the cat on her lap,” the woman explained.

“The dog is next to us all. And, while I am no artist myself, it is very clear just what my daughter was trying to say.”

The second and more concrete reason has to do with her daughter and son’s relationship.

Apparently, the woman’s daughter has always been a bully to her brother by trying to get him in trouble and basically resenting him for existing.

She also claims her son does not do anything to bother her daughter like he used to– such as go into her room without permission or take her belongings. Nonetheless, the daughter’s hatred for her brother has continued on.

“Most days, he is never even in the same room [as her] except for meals. And when we have meals, he never talks to her, and she never says anything to him,” the woman said.

But, her decision not to hang the artwork up is also not an easy one. She recognizes that the piece was not just completed on a random piece of standard sized paper.

It was drawn on an eighteen by twenty-four-inch canvas using charcoal and took many hours to finish.

However, the woman feels like hanging it up would be incredibly rude and exclusive to her son. Her husband, though, feels differently.

“He thinks it would be rude not to hang it up. My husband said this is actually an improvement since the last time our daughter drew our son, it was done to anger him,” she recalled.

Still, the woman believes that her husband viewing exclusion as an “improvement” is even more alarming.

So, now, she is leaning toward not hanging up the artwork in an attempt to not hurt her son’s feelings anymore as well as hopefully discouraging her daughter’s mean behavior.

But, she is still not sure if refusing to hang it would make her a jerk.

If you were in this mom’s shoes, would you hang the artwork even though it excluded your son? What’s more important: family unity or the time spent on a piece of art?
