AITA for using the "If I can have it no-one can" strategy against my sister.quote:To start this story off, I need to explain some details from before this. For my entire life, my older sister( Now 20) has been my parents favorite. If my brother or I got something, she had to have it or a better version. And for 16 years, my sister had it easy using this to her advantage. Until when I was 16, and a huge family fight ended up in therapy sessions. My parents finally figured it out that their favoritism was harming their relationship with my brother and I. So they cut my sister off from the favoritism, cold turkey.

From OP quote:my mother is disrespectful to her, thinks she's a bad mother. my wife is a stay at home mom, my mother thinks she's taking advantage of me ... and controlling me. setting me back. well, there's some irony to this given how I don't really do anything and am being told not to go see my parents now. quote:not everyone is mature enough to control their impulses. my father has been abusive in today's standards my whole life, but I want to help him in his last years. I don't see him or my mother as disposable creatures because they're set in their ways. Of course it makes my wife AND myself less willing to spend time with them, but I have the sense of urgency to help them as they're absolutely alone.

Get couples therapy or divorce because otherwise you have a few more decades of pure misery ahead of you

Woodchip posted:My wife thinks I'm spending too much time with my parents There were edits, it’s not just the wife: quote:EDIT: I haven't made it clear that I do support my wife and I do set boundaries with my parents. They are simply not agreeable even towards me, everyone is different - some people think I should just cut ties with them because they are unappreciative no matter what I do for them. But I feel a strong obligation to help them, especially seeing them so old and frail. I don't casually allow them to talk me down or my wife, like people in comments may have misunderstood. I know they don't like my wife, or decisions I've made with my life, but I can't just cut my parents off entirely. I'm trying to have a good last few years as possible with them, especially since they're new in town and have so much adjusting to make.

curlingiron posted:Sometimes you don’t get a choice. My mother’s parents announced one day that they were selling their house and moving 10 minutes away from us. This was several years after my parents moved states to get away from them. I guess moving near one of their non-scapegoat children wasn’t an option because ???? Whoa, you got away with the crime?

Yes, why wouldn’t the wife want him spending time with abusive assholes who don’t respect her or her husband/their own son despite the fact that he’s bending over backwards for them. She must be a controlling rear end in a top hat! Guess all those other people who told him to cut them off are controlling assholes too For actual content: AITA: killing my neighbors plants because she wouldn’t move them (but they were on my property) quote:AMITA: I have a ladies plants away after she was very rude and would take them back herself?

AITA for screaming at husband and forcing my son to pay for his boyfriend medical bills out of his college fund?quote:My husband against my wishes decided to get our oldest "Bryan" (16M) a motorcycle for his 16th birthday a few months ago so they could go riding together. It was a surprise last minute gift that I didn't know about. They also apparently went and got his license for it behind my back. This is how not to be the fun parent. And how to possibly never drive again because the insurance, dear gods. AITA for locking my husband out of our room after he scared me? quote:My husband came home from his trip early to surprise me and our kids. I came downstairs to get a glass of water at around 3am and I wasn’t aware he was home. This is how you get shot by people who don't think a surprise behind-me grab at 3am is a good idea. AITA for celebrating my late husband's birthday with our daughter, in front of my boyfriend? quote:My (39f) husband passed away in 2013, at that time we'd started trying for a baby. I found out I was pregnant after and our daughter "Kylie" is 8 now. I've slowly started dating again and have been with "Rick" (41m) for almost a year. We don't live together but he's getting some renovations done at his place so stayed at mine for a few days (it's finished now so he's gone back). And this is the hill you choose to die on. Another guy's birthday cake.

If being decorated in 1974 means a room had a consistent and authentic 70s theme, won't his wife's room have a consistent 2020s theme automatically?
