Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey there, mister Redder here, welcome back to another episode
of our slash entitled People's Stories. Our first story we'll
be reading today. My Karen wife gave away our cow.
After that ten thousand steps a day or else? And
after that, am I the jerk for asking for a
morning off for my baby on the weekends. Now, for
every thumbs up this video gets one, Karen does not

(00:21):
get to give away anyone else's cow. I know I can't.
I mean, who would want you, Reddit boy? So please
smash that like button and subscribe and turn on notifications
for new stories from Reddit every single day. My Karen
wife gave away our cow. My wife, who's thirty, has
a younger sister who's twenty eight, who has four kids.

(00:42):
My sister in law is a married stay at home
mom and her husband, who's thirty one, works thirty five
hours per week. Money is tight for them, but they
still go on annual vacations, drive newer cars, et cetera.
My wife and I keep separate finances except for a
joint credit card and household bill. I also do most
of the grocery shopping. This is relevant for later. A

(01:03):
couple years ago, I found out that My wife had
been buying groceries for my sister in law on our
joint card about one hundred fifty to two hundred dollars
per month for a few months. She said that her
sister had come to her saying that they were tied
on money and that she needed help feeding their kids.
This is about a month after they had just gotten
back from one of their most recent vacations to Mexico.

(01:24):
I told my wife in no uncertain terms that I
am not supporting their family. She argued with me, saying
that we could more than afford it. I replied that
I don't care if she wanted to support them, but
that's her business. My wife stopped buying them groceries on
our joint card after, but I'm sure she told her
sister about it, because sister in law has been standoffish since.

(01:45):
In the last few months, grocery costs have been increasing
thanks to inflation. As a cost saving measure, I bought
a whole cow for about four thousand dollars, which works
out to about nine dollars per pound and will last
us more than a year, and my wife and I
split the car. Yesterday, I went to the freezer to
pull some steaks and saw the amount of beef was
visibly lower. I checked our security cameras and saw my

(02:08):
wife leaving the house with a big box. I texted her,
demanding to know if she had taken a bunch of
meat to sister in law, and she replied yes. I
grabbed sister in law's keys. We have a copy, drove
to their house, knocked on her door, and when sister
in law answered, I told her that I was taking
back what my wife brought over. Sister in law protested,

(02:29):
saying that I was taking food out of her kid's mouths,
but I said I don't care. She already had one
roast in the oven. I went to their freezer and
they had about forty to fifty pounds of ground beef,
steaks and roasts from our cow, including a couple prime
rib roasts. I grabbed it all except the roast that
was in the oven, and I drove home. My wife

(02:49):
yelled at me, saying she couldn't believe how selfish I was,
and that sister in law called her crying. She also
said that she paid for half of it and so
she could do whatever she liked with it. I yelled
back saying, you don't get to decide to give away
anything that we pay for together, and said that she
acted like a sneaky thief for doing it behind my back.
My wife is still angry at me and says until

(03:11):
I apologize to her sister, return the meat that I
took back and apologize for calling her a thief, she
won't even speak to me. I may be the jerk
because my wife pays half the groceries. Hmm, I think
your sister in law is lying to your wife. They
take vacations. How does your wife not see that she
is playing her next If she really is hurting for food,

(03:32):
then there is help out there. Not the jerk. But
you shouldn't have called your wife a thief. She was
in her mind helping. His wife is stealing from his family.
She is a thief. It's her family too. Then she
shouldn't eat anything at home since she's giving away her
share of it. If she wants to help that much,
use her money. Oh P said they have separate finances,

(03:55):
not with the household. Being charitable with someone else's money
is so much easier. Not the jerk, But at this
point I would get another fridge and lock it with
my own food and go separate on groceries as well.
Not the jerk. I would have done the same thing
you did. Your wife can only be upset with herself
for doing what she did. Your sister in law is
obviously not hurting for money as much as she says

(04:17):
she is. She's just trying to take advantage of you
to save some money for stupid things. Probably not the jerk.
Both of you paid for it. It is assumed that
it was going to be used to feed your family.
O P's wife is free, of course to help her sister,
but she should not force o Pe to do it too.
She forced him to do it when she took something
both of them had paid for and gave it away.

(04:39):
If she wants to help her, which is perfectly understandable,
she should do it out of her own money, not
with the joint bank account. If wife wants Opea's help
is well in this issue, she can try to convince
him to chip in, but OP is free to say
no as well. Well. Who do you think is the jerk?
OP or his wife? Please let us know. Never let
it anyone use you for your money. If you do,

(05:02):
the only person you have to blame is yourself ten
thousand steps a day or else. Years ago, long before
smartphones or fitbits, a coworker of mine, Bob, had a
relatively mild heart attack. We joked in secret that it
was caused by his wife. But the other secret is
we weren't really joking. She was awful. She was just

(05:22):
an intolerable person, and no one liked her. I'm pretty
sure Bob didn't like his own wife. If he did,
it was probably Stockholm syndrome. At any rate, When Bob
returned to work, he returned with a pedometer clipped to
his belt. Every day. Bob would walk as much as
he could when he wasn't pinned down at his desk,
but he was suffering and his work was suffering. As

(05:43):
his supervisor at the time, I figured he was struggling
with his recovery, so we just moved a lot of
his work to others and left him with the cases
he specialized in. That worked for everyone, because those cases
drove others nuts and he was a whiz at them.
His other work was comparatively easy. However, at the end
of his first full week back, the issue became more clear.

(06:05):
I overheard Bob's wife going off on him in the
parking lot because he didn't meet half of his steps goal.
Turns out the pedometer didn't come from his doctor. It
came from his wife. She was demanding that Bob increase
his current around forty two hundred steps a day to
somehow ten thousand steps a day. This will read at
least ten thousand at the end of every workday, or

(06:27):
it'll be your head, were her words. Now, Bob was
a tall guy with a long stride, so she was
somehow expecting him to fit in over six miles of
walking during his work day while recovering. But you know,
since he had had a heart attack, maybe she was
just looking out for him. Right. Nope, his doctor had
actually cautioned him against overdoing it. He was only supposed

(06:48):
to be walking one and a half miles a day,
and not all at once. But his wife wasn't having it.
She demanded more, and he tried, but wasn't doing so well.
After another week of this and another chewing out in
the parking lot, we developed a plan. Bob's pedometer just
sat on the corner of his desk while he was working.
If anyone had to walk down the hall or to
the other building they had grabbed the pedometer on their

(07:10):
way out of the office. Bob did have to tolerate
another couple of chewings because we ramped him up to
ten thousand steps instead of just jumping straight there. We
figured that would be suspicious otherwise. In the end, Bob
got his ten thousand steps every day. Well. Bob's pedometer
registered over ten thousand steps every day, and almost one
third of them were actually his steps. Bob was overjoyed

(07:33):
to have the help, and we were all willing to
keep the secret because we were frightened of her turning
on us. Teamwork makes the dream work. Am I the
jerk for asking for a morning off from my baby
on the weekends? My wife and I have a six
month old baby girl. She's mostly a stay at home mom.
She works two half days a week and her sister
watches the baby. I work full time and go to

(07:55):
school one day a week. We've always had an arrangement
where she takes care of the household duties cooking, cleaning,
and now baby care, while I happily support her monetarily. Honestly,
we're both living our dream life and my wife does
an absolutely spectacular job taking care of me and our
little one. On the weekends, we share baby duty. We
usually make sure each of us gets our own alone

(08:17):
time to do whatever we want. However, our girl has
hit a little bit of a sleep regression, waking up
every two hours. Since my wife feeds naturally, she's always
taken care of the baby full time overnight. She's a
light sleeper and unfortunately has insomnia, whereas I'm a deep
sleeper and wouldn't wake up for baby cries. Anyways, Recently,
my wife has been asking me to wake up with

(08:39):
the baby both days on the weekends so she can
get an extra hour of sleep. Baby wakes up around
seven am. I get the baby dressed and take over
for that hour, but sometimes I want to be the
one that gets to sleep in an extra hour. I
brought this up to her, and she says, while she's
happy to let me nap during the day, she really
needs that hour because she can't nap like I can.

(09:00):
We got into an argument about it, and she said,
I'm being very insensitive when I know she is very
exhausted and can't nap during the day and she struggles
going back to sleep every time the baby wakes up.
But I'm exhausted too. Work wears me out, and school
days are long, and I sometimes want the hour in
the morning. I don't want to spend my off time napping.
I want to play video games and chill out. I've

(09:23):
gotten mixed opinions on who's in the wrong here, and
if there even is anyone in the wrong. Am I
the jerk for asking us to share mornings off for sleep?
You're the jerk. If she's taking all the night duty
because you don't wake up, then you get the morning
duty when you do wake up, so she can catch
up on her lost sleep in the night. You want
a morning off, Give her a night off. Oh goodness,

(09:45):
you're the jerk. She's up all night. She does not
get breaks like you in the week. She's asking you
to get up at seven a defined time, go to
bed earlier. If this is an issue she's surviving, I
doubt she's living her dream life. If this small request
has been so poorly supported by you, you're the jerk.
You don't think she wants to just chill out and

(10:07):
do something on her own time. She's working too by
not just going to work but also taking care of
the baby. The least you could do is give her
some time to sleep in. She's right, you can nap
and do whatever she can't, and unless you're going to
offer to take over the feeding through formula, the only
time she gets a break is if the baby is
sleeping or she's off to work. Give up your extra

(10:29):
hour of sleep, Give it to your wife, who does
so much. I needed nighttime support from my partner when
my child was a newborn. He didn't take it serious,
and it took more effort from me to wake him
up to help than it was to just do it myself.
I stopped feeling like a human. The resentment never went away.
We divorced when the kid was two. Oh look, another

(10:51):
useless dad. What a surprise. What is it with you
dads thinking just because you work some laid back joke
of a job that you don't have to help with
the baby. Newsflash, pal, this isn't the nineteen fifties anymore,
and just because you're a guy doesn't mean you get
to be a lazy bum around the house. This is
why I just had surrogates for all three of my kids.

(11:12):
There was no way I'd end up with some lazy
bum who refuses to help around the house. And demands
to be treated like some sort of a king, when
the truth is he's not even a peasant. I feel
so sorry for your wife, and I hope she divorces
you asap and find someone who actually respects her. How
can you call o pe a useless dad when he's
a working a full time job to support his family

(11:34):
while his wife only has to work two days a week,
and b he's also going to school to build a
better future for his family. It seems like some of
you think the dads in these stories should just shut
up and do whatever their wives tell them to, regardless
of how they feel about it. Communication between couples is important,
and both sides should be able to share how they
feel about something then work out a solution together. Some

(11:56):
of you just seem so bitter and like you're just
looking for someone to lash out at. I'm no therapist,
but being as quick as y'all are to lash out
at these ops, particularly when they're dudes, you might want
to speak to a professional. I can't imagine you're in
a very happy place to be so darn mean to
people you don't even know. How dare you try to

(12:17):
diagnose me? You have no clue what you're talking about,
And honestly, you're just proving my point. Why do guys
always feel like you have a right to tell others
what you think is wrong with them. You're basically telling
me that I have mental issues because I just pointed
out how useless this sorry excuse of a father is.
I was fortunate enough to not know my loser father

(12:39):
when I was growing up. My mom did an amazing
job of raising me. No thanks to that loser. I
do hope Op's wife leaves him so that kid doesn't
have to see how pathetic he is. As I said before,
the things you say and the way you say them
seems an awful lot like projection of how miserable and
unhappy you are. I feel bad for you and the

(13:00):
rest of these Reddit people who think the way you do.
And since you wanted to assume I was a man,
I'd like to inform you that I'm actually a woman.
I'm married to a man who works full time so
that I can stay home and raise our two daughters.
My husband and I get up around the same time
on the weekends, but if he ever asked to sleep in,
the only thing I'd ask him is what time. Would

(13:20):
he like me to wake him up? If you don't
appreciate the man who works a full time job in
order to provide for you and your kids, what can
you appreciate? You're the jerk? Your wife does this five
out of seven days a week. You can handle it
for two. This phase will pass. Just put up with
it for now and be a good husband. Well, who

(13:40):
do you think is the jerk, opie or his wife?
Please let us know. So many of these stories just
make me so glad that we don't have kids. Reddit boy.
My cousin thought she was being so clever. It did
not work out for her. A good few years back,
I was about twenty four to twenty five years old,
I went to Cyprus with my grandparents to visit relatives.

(14:01):
My grandparents originally came from there and moved to the
UK when they were like sixteen. My cousin, fourteen female,
also came along. Now it's important to mention that we're
Greek Cypriots. Certain things are expected when we visit relatives,
such as helping out with things if we can, and
offering our help for whatever our host might be doing.

(14:21):
It's also worth mentioning that I have a sight problem,
but I'm extremely independent in spite of it. So we
were visiting relatives, and every time I offered to help out,
either taking dishes into the kitchen, bringing them out of
the kitchen, washing up, even getting a glass of water,
I kept being told to sit down. They could handle it.
I didn't understand why, as I'm perfectly capable. I thought

(14:42):
it might have to do with my eyes. One day,
we were visiting a great antie of ours, who owns
a little summer home by the sea, not too far
off from where we were staying. Now, when we visit
this auntie, I always go swimming. She's literally not even
a couple of minutes away from the sea. Now, as
I went to offer my help to my great aunt,
I hear my fourteen year old cousin talking to her

(15:03):
in Greek. Another important note, I can't string together a
sentence in Greek. My father is English and had something
against us speaking Greek. But although I'm not a fluent speaker,
I can read, write, and understand Greek. My family doesn't
know this. They assumed that because I'm not a fluent speaker,
that they can basically hide their conversations between other people.

(15:24):
My cousin was telling my great aunt how clumsy I am,
how stupid I am, how I'm a little soft in
the head. She was saying it in Greek. She thought
I couldn't understand her, but I knew exactly what she
was saying. Even if I couldn't string sentences together myself,
I knew what she was saying about me. I added
two and two together and realized my cousin was very

(15:45):
obviously telling all my relatives this. She did it because
she thought she'd get praised if she helped bring out
the food without me. I was angry, but I knew
the perfect revenge. We ate lunch, and after we were
finished eating, my great aunt asked my cousin for help
to take the dishes in and do the washing up,
as she had been on her feet most of the
morning preparing the food. My cousin looked at me, knowing

(16:07):
my great aunt couldn't speak English, and said, hey, o pie,
Auntie needs help taking these plates in and doing the
washing up, because now she was bored and expected to
run off to the beach and leave me doing the work.
So I looked at her and said, but I'm too
stupid and clumsy and soft in the head to help
Auntie out. Besides, she asked for your help, not mine.

(16:30):
She went pale, realizing I knew what she had said,
but she doubled down. I helped bring everything out, you
could help take it all in. I laughed at her,
picked up the book I had brought with me, and
got up from the table, grabbed the towel I brought
with me, and went to walk off. My cousin started
whining to my grandparents that I wasn't helping her. My
grandmother looked at her and said, you made your bed,

(16:53):
now you lie in it. Your cousin caught you lying
about her, and now she can go to the beach
while you help your aunt. Cousin went completely white then,
so I went to the beach, swam for thirty minutes,
then chilled out on a deck chair, reading my book
under the shade of a nice umbrella. By the time
my grandparents called to me that we were heading home,
my cousin had spent all of it helping to wash

(17:15):
up and dry things and put them away. She hadn't
gotten to be lazy and go to the beach to
enjoy the sea. I could have helped her. I simply
decided that I wouldn't as she had never earned my help.
Since then, every time we went to a relative's home
and she was asked to help, I washed with a
smirk on my face. To this day, I'm thirty seven.
This year, I still won't help her. She made out

(17:37):
I was incapable to people, so now she suffers the consequences.
It's the malicious compliance that keeps on giving to me.
Am I the jerk for not allowing my daughter's half
sister to spend Christmas with us. My ex husband and
I got divorced seven years ago. We share custody of
our thirteen year old daughter. He got married and has
a five year old daughter with his now wife. His

(18:00):
daughter would spend time with my daughter regularly. They adore
each other, but she doesn't come to my house and
they rarely meet up there. His wife has been diagnosed
with cancer and has started treatment recently. The other day
he came to drop our daughter off and asked to
speak to me. He talked about his wife's circumstances, then
how his family won't be able to have a Christmas
celebration this year. He said it wasn't fair for his

(18:22):
daughter and asked if I could include her in my
family celebration. He pointed out how the girls will have
a great time together bonding and making memories, but I
said I was sorry, but my family's traditional celebration is
a sacred thing and I do not feel comfortable including
anyone else. Plus, it would be awkward having her in
my home. He said that his daughter may not be

(18:44):
family to me, but she sure is to her half sister.
He asked me to stop and think about what's best
for the kids here. I suggested he'd take his daughter
to spend Christmas with her grandparents. He said his parents
and him are no contact and tried to cut the
conversation short, but he's stopped me and started going on
about how cruel it was for me to decline to

(19:04):
include his daughter, who's already having a hard time adjusting.
I saw that he was beginning to cry, so I
stepped back and said I was no longer feeling comfortable
having this conversation. I asked him to leave, and he did,
but still texted me asking me to agree to let
his daughter come spend Christmas. Even offered that he stays
away if that'll make me less uncomfortable. I said no,

(19:26):
and now he's calling me selfish and unfeeling. A point
worth mentioning here is that my family is going to attend,
and they said that they too will not feel comfortable
in this situation. Thus I said it would be awkward.
Not the jerk. That child doesn't know you or your
extended family, only your daughter. This could be her last
Christmas with her mom, and he's wanting to take that

(19:48):
away from her, even if it's just the three of
them in pajamas eating cookies all day. He's the jerk,
Not the jerk. Why can't she spend Christmas with her mom?
If it ends up being terminal? Would need it be
better to be with her mom and dad than with
her dad's ex wife's family. Why does he want his
five year old to spend an important holiday with people
who don't have a relationship with her except for her sister.

(20:11):
Very weird, Not the jerk. I don't understand why exactly
his daughter would have a better time at your house
instead of with her father, Like, just because they're not
having a Christmas celebration doesn't mean they can't spend time together.
This sounds really fishy to me. Not the jerk. Don't
do it. Sis, not your monkey's not your circus. It's

(20:31):
not your fault. They're going through this, so please don't
feel bad. Before you know it, he'll be trying to
pawn his kid off on you when you owe him nothing.
Tell this loser if he needs a daycare, you'll email
a few places to him that have good ratings. So
sick of these men trying to pawn off their kids
on us because they're unfit to be parents. Well, who
do you think is the jerk? OPI or her ex?

(20:54):
Please let us know. People suck, bro, People really suck.
Am I the York for telling my girlfriend she should
give up on seafood because I'm allergic to it. I,
twenty seven male, am allergic to seafood. Unfortunately, my girlfriend,
who's twenty five, adores it. Ever since we got together
about three years, she's made an effort to eat it

(21:15):
as less as possible, which I appreciate. However, I wish
she would completely stop to be honest. The other day,
she went out with her friends to a restaurant. When
she got back home, I tried to kiss her, but
she stopped me and told me that she had just
eate seafood. I got a bit disappointed because I was
looking forward to spending some time with her, and I
told her as much, and then I said that maybe

(21:36):
it would be better if she had just give up
on seafood altogether. I know she likes it, but sometimes
it can be an inconvenience to me, and I feel
like she should be willing to give up on such
a small thing for us. She got upset about my
request and said that she loves me, but that she's
sorry because she's not giving up on eating it, and
that lowering the amount of time she does it was
already enough. Her family eats seafood often, and she grew

(22:00):
up eating a lot of it, so I kind of
get why it would be hard for her to give
up on it. But I think that if she cared enough,
she'd be willing to do it. So am I the jerk?
Come on, you're not even trying. Of course you're the jerk.
It can be an inconvenience to you. Someone call a wambulance.
You're the jerk. A whole food group isn't a small thing.

(22:21):
This is crazy controlling, not about love. Love was her
stopping you from kissing her? Love? Is realizing she gets
to enjoy certain food sometimes even when it's inconvenient for you.
If you cared enough, you'd be willing to continue the
working compromise of her eating it without you. If she
cared enough, she would be willing to do it. That's
a toxic mentality. If you cared enough, you would be

(22:45):
willing to not kiss a couple of nights per year.
You're the jerk. You're the jerk. This is coming from
someone with severe shellfish and seafood allergies. My husband still
eat seafood. He lets me know he did, and I
would never ask him to give up a food group
or food he loves. It's not her job, even if
you were married, to control your allergies. She told you

(23:06):
she had seafood. It's not like she's eating it and
kissing you. Your allergies or mine, do not dictate anyone
else's diet. Not the jerk. Unpopular opinion, obviously, but my
boyfriend is allergic to peanuts, so once we got serious,
I stopped eating peanut butter, which I ate a ton
of before we got together. What everyone here is missing

(23:27):
is that if you love someone that could be seriously
hurt by you eating a certain type of food, you
should want to stop eating it because it could put
them in serious danger. Why do I feel like if
OP was a girl who wanted her boyfriend to stop
eating something she was deathly allergic to, you all would
be singing a completely different song, Op. Regardless of all
these people insulting you, I just want to let you

(23:49):
know there are girls out there who would actually put
your safety above their desire to eat a certain type
of food. Best advice I can give you is to
see this as the red flag that it is, and
in things asaff you can find someone who will love
you the way you deserve to be loved. Am I
the jerk for threatening my husband to stop paying for
him if he helped his sister? I thirty four female,

(24:11):
have been married to my husband, thirty three male, for
six years now. We have two kids who are four
and one and a half. I come from money and
also make about ten times what my husband does. When
we first got together, I noticed that his family takes
advantage of him financially. He's a very kind man and
the perfect person to have as a partner and father.
To get around the whole greedy family thing. I offered

(24:34):
to pay everything when it comes to us house living expenses,
medical expenses, vacations, clothing, etc. Honestly, I wouldn't even mind
if he wanted to be a stay at home dad,
but he loves his job and I love to see
him happy. Early on, some of his family tried to
get money from me, but when I brought up a
contract and a notary, they backed off. I'm now considered

(24:55):
that rich daughter in law who happens to be a
cold hearted jerk, and honestly, I don't care. My husband's
whole salary ends up going to his family, paying almost
everything for his parents. Somehow, one of his siblings is
always in an emergency, or a cousin needs help with
their business, even though they are all firmly middle class
with good jobs. Before anyone asks when it is a

(25:16):
true emergency, I always give money with no expectation of
getting paid back. Now to the situation, we're visiting his
family for Thanksgiving. We thought it better to go a
few days earlier. They live in a mountain town. It's
gorgeous this time of year. I rented us a cabin
and paid for five first class tickets, mine, his, the kids,
and the nannies. We arrive at the airport and surprise, surprise,

(25:40):
his sister just happens to be on the same flight.
I call bs. It's obvious. He told her when we
would be going, and she decided to get a ticket
for the same flight. We greet her. Then I hand
the kids to the nanny and send her ahead to
the lounge because I had a feeling about what was
about to come. Then sister in law has the audacity
to ask me to upgrade her to first class so

(26:01):
she can travel with her family. Kudos to my husband.
He shut her down before I could. Then she goes
and asks us to switch her ticket with our nannies.
I told her point blank that I wouldn't be doing that,
that my nanny is needed to help with the kids.
I'm useless on a plane because of nausea and the
men's My husband can't realistically be expected to take care

(26:22):
of two kids on his own. She starts complaining and
making a scene. I just turn around and start walking
towards the lounge. My husband follows me about ten minutes later.
Apparently he tried to pay for her ticket upgrade, but
it's a full flight, so he tells me that he
will be switching with her. Here's where I might be
the jerk. I told him that he knows I can't

(26:42):
help the nanny during the flight, and if he was
going to leave this poor woman to her devices just
because his sister can't live within her means, then this
will be the last time I will be paying for
his tickets ever again. He texted his sister to tell
her that apparently he can't switch tickets with her, but
he is pretty upset, so the jerk edit. So this
blew up expected a couple hundred judgments at most. Thank

(27:05):
you everyone, and since most people seem to be hung
up on it. When I said my husband can't be
expected to take care of two kids on his own,
I meant logistically two rows of seats with a wide
gap between the seats and between the rows, each kid,
who are four and one and a half, by the way,
would need an adult to sit next to them. I'm useless,
can't even open my eyes because of the meds. I

(27:27):
usually need someone to help me. We're both perfectly happy
and capable of taking care of our own kids on
our own under normal circumstances. You're definitely not the jerk.
And your husband is a major pushover when it comes
to his entitled family. OPI that he is, but he's
a pushover when it comes to everyone. I'm not kidding
when I say that he gave the coat off his

(27:48):
back to a homeless kid once almost froze before he
got back home. One of the reasons why I love him.
He does sound very kind and generous, and it's really
unfortunate that it's often people like him who are seen
as willing targets by others. It's one thing to be
kind and generous, it's another to do so with other
people's money. In this case, the ticket was purchased for him.

(28:10):
He had no right to trade it with his sister,
not the jerk. You've got to break this pattern of
behavior somehow. Why on earth would you want to sit
with your sister in law while your husband sits alone
and coach utterly ridiculous. Karen's sister in law gets banned
from our Thanksgiving this year. My mother in law and
I do not get along, but I'm really proud to

(28:32):
say we call the cease fire for the sake of
my husband. I know this might sound childish, but it
took blood, sweat, and tears for us to even be
in the same room. Mother in law did some awful
things to me, and it took work to forgive her.
I did some things I'm not proud of, but at
some point I realized I was just hurting my husband.
Mother in law was an absolute monster at our wedding.

(28:53):
She made planning a nightmare. She embarrassed me at my
bridal shower, and she wore something that could have passed
for a wedding go Right after the wedding, we had
a financial setback and had to stay with mother in law.
I know this is petty and not defending it, but
I was still upset about the wedding. Mother in law
was having some guy over and demanded we hide ourselves away.

(29:15):
She really really liked this guy. Cooked a fancy dinner
and spent like an hour getting dressed, so I messed
with the dinner she cooked and poured flour on her
when the doorbell rang again. I'm not defending it right now,
but we were in this awful war mindset. Yeah. Mother
in law kicked us out of the house for that stunt,
and eventually I grew up and reached out to make peace.

(29:38):
That was two years ago, and mother in law is
still with him and they're getting married in January. I've
apologized to her. She's never going to apologize to me,
but we've made our peace. We bought our first house
recently and had a large dinner party. Also, I'm hosting
Thanksgiving this year. Mother in law said I can have
it because it's the worst holiday, but hey, it's a start.

(30:00):
Everyone knows how excited I am about finally having a
house to host in At the dinner party, mother in
law was getting a lot of attention for being engaged
and people wanting wedding details, and sister in law decided
to give a toast about how she knew her future
stepfather was the right guy because he stuck around after
that incident, and she told everyone about it in detail,

(30:20):
and he calmed mother in law down and made her
dinner while she washed the flower off. I get sister
in law's point, but it was humiliating. Also, it paints
an unfair picture because she left out all the crap
mother in law has done to me. Most of my
guests were horrified. This was supposed to be a nice
adult evening and she's bringing up how immature I was
right out of college. Mother in law laughed. Father in

(30:43):
law laughed because he is her ex and loves the
flower story. But everyone else was in shock and it
made the vibe really weird. I called sister in law
out after the party and she laughed and said it
was a funny story. I told her it was humiliating,
and she said, well it was true. I said, as
of right now, she's banned from the house because she

(31:04):
disrespected me in my own house. This means Thanksgiving, since
it's coming up. Mother in law asked me to reconsider,
because well, you did do that, and because sister in
law doesn't have anyone else to spend Thanksgiving with. I
stood firm, and now mother in law is saying she
will stay home and cook for sister in law. My
husband is mad at his mom for picking sister in law,

(31:25):
but said he will back me. Sister in law swears
she was just kidding, and I'm overreacting. You're the jerk.
You sound mean. You did a thing that obviously everyone
knows about, but you obviously aren't over it and are
somehow using that to exclude your sister in law from
a family gathering. Also, regardless of the rift between you
and mother in law. You were living under her roof

(31:47):
and tried to sabotage a date that turned into a
lifelong relationship. Come on, grow up and get some perspective.
You're just asking for future wars with that attitude. Everyone
sucks here. But in degree, regardless of what mother in
law did, your behavior was extremely childish. You poured flower
on her because of her wedding behavior when she was
putting a roof over your head. You were lucky she

(32:10):
didn't grab something and defend herself. Frankly, that they could
turn it into a funny story and laugh about it
is a good thing. Instead, they could still be telling
people what an awful jerk your husband married. It's embarrassing, yes,
and sister in law was not thoughtful to repeat it,
but banning her from the holiday table was overdoing it.
Of course mom is going to celebrate the holiday with

(32:30):
her daughter since you banned her. Your husband shouldn't be surprised,
neither should You Support our channel by joining as a
