last story: the sister doesn’t have an “intense” personality, she’s just entitled. op’s family continues to enable her personality by making other people apologize for her own actions. i’m surprised that the wife hasn’t divorced him after all that’s happened (including the MULTIPLE TRIPS where she’s left by herself.)
Same. I wouldn't be surprised either if she divorces him. It makes no since why he and the rest of his family are to chicken shit to tell his sister off lol
True, she should have divorced him...she was busy working, taking care of their child and taking care of all the trouble "the sister" did and the husband & family asked the wife to apologize. He even wrote as if the wife is the problem one, he should've listened back to this audio and repented...this is insane totally insane 😒
Last story: my guess is that, that dude is going to be very surprised when he get served divorce papers, he is totally clueless. It's almost funny, if it wouldn't be so sad.
People really need to stop with this whole “be the bigger person” bs. 1. his sister is CLEARLY a toxic B. and does not deserve an apology for her behaviour. 2. what does he expect happens after his wife apologizes? nothing will change. His sister will continue to act this toxic and his wife will probably hate his sister even more. If you keep on “being the bigger person” you just show toxic and entitled people that they can get away with their shitty behaviour because others will apologize anyways.
In the second story, there’s some emotional issues with the husband. NOBODY blows up over cookies like that. He needs counseling. On face value, he needs help dealing with the divorce, and the fact that his children prefers moms house for Christmas instead of his. Looking at all the gifts under the tree, with nobody there to open them, AND the mother of the children not there, I believe that he projected his issues on his wife. If they get a divorce, that’s her choice, but nonetheless, HE NEEDS COUNSELING.
How often does the OP expect his wife to be the bigger person? If the sister is in the wrong, she needs to be the bigger person an apologize. Stop pacifying her. 🙄😒
What's wrong with doing what your wife wants in backing her up and taking her side instead of continuing to enable your sister like everybody always has that's why the situation started
I can't with the husband blaming it all on the cookies as if his children haven't chosen to spend the holidays with their mom for years lol it's clearly not the issue
Rights? OP needs to get out now! As in RUN, don't walk, RUN! His attitude, behavior, and character is the reason why his kids don't want to spend Christmas with him, not OP!
Depression is a hell have a mental disorder. Why help him just leave him. Fuck those people who need mental help. So many nice and understanding people we have here.
Clearly none of y’all been divorced with kids it has nothing to do with the cookies from what is sounds like is he’s got some unresolved issues with what he’s looking for in a woman and he’s hurt and depressed because he doesn’t understand the kids want to be around their cousins and how come they don’t want to be around him he’s using the cookies as a lashing out device I also think that’s wrong of him to be doing that but the wife clearly didn’t know what she was getting involved in and if she thinks this is too much for her that she should walk away.
@@copperphilosophy4768 if the ops husband is my aunts x wich frsm reason it sounds like it is then yes he has emotional issues and his kids have always wanted to stay w there mother
Also why didn't op make the damn cookies himself? He said he only married a woman because he needed a mom not a wife... sounds like he was looking for a slave not a lover. No wonder the kids don't like him
I really don't think that the husband in that second story was truly upset about the cookies the cookies are just the thing that he chose to latch on to and complain about. I get that he's upset that his kids don't want to see him obviously that would devastate just about anyone. But that does not give you the right to attack your wife and blame her for things that are outside of control and that have nothing to do with her.
Was going to post practically the exact same thing. But someone beat me to it. :) This doesn't sound like his normal behavior. He's hurt and lashing out, because when we're hurt, we can get irrational. Does not excuse his behavior - he needs to apologize to his wife 100% - but it's not like there isn't something underlying what took place, and that something isn't defining of how their relationship normally is. Letting the dust settle and having a supportive-but-boundary-defining chat about things sounds like a good way to recover from this in a constructive manner. ...Or I dunno. This is "Am I the Jerk?" so obviously he's the scum of the earth, can be assumed to always screams at her when things don't go his way, probably beats her regularly, and the only way forward is to go scorched earth on the relationship rather than first trying to pursue a positive resolution. All relationships, regardless of the past two individuals may have shared leading to this point, are soap bubbles waiting to pop! Any and all fights are a sign you're incompatible and MUST break up and go no-contact, and consider getting a restraining order ASAP.
@@Paul-vw9tq Wth, this person is correct the ops husband has emotional problems and lached to the cookies because the kids don’t want to be w him and how do I know this may u ask because this may or may not be my aunts x husband’s wife
Story #2: That's literally verbal and emotional abuse. I really dislike people that take their own misery out on other people and she shouldn't put up with that bullshit for a second. Even if he makes a heartfel apology, he said things that just can't be taken back and like the narrator said, he was just showing his true colors.
That right fuck that guy going through mental depression. Why should the woman who claims to love him help get him help? Just leave lady you didn't sign up for that. And if the next guy gets cancer fucking leave him too. You didn't sign up for cancer disable guy. In fact the second you see anybody with a runny nose leave them as well you didn't sign up for sick people. It all about me, myself, and I in this world. Fuck you loved ones you got to watch out for number 1 ya fucking self grandiose narcissist psycho.
I'd like to know if there's an update on the last story.... I hope the wife put her foot down and told the husband if he keeps pressuring her that she'll just take the kids and leave him and serve him with divorce papers... the husband admitted that his family is enabling his sister, so why can't he get it through his thick skull that his sister is the one in the wrong NOT his wife? He should be backing up his wife NOT his toxic sister. I know what it's like to have toxic family members, I have a sister too that I refuse to speak to because she and her children (all except for one) are toxic, they get some kind of sick thrill from hurting family and spreading rumors about family, they are bullies. They get upset when people just stop talking to them and don't put up with their crap and try to ruin those people's lives like they have tried with me, but lucky for me my boss doesn't listen to BS and will hang up on them every single time
Last year at Christmas my cousin screamed obscenities at me for 2 hours and insulted me online until I had to block him. Grandma wants me to apologize to him. I'm tired of the family walking on eggshells for the most emotionally unregulated person. It's that way in every family it seems.
story one: note about the Karen wanting to see chickens. warn her once and set a hiden security camera. call cops next time she enters your property. if she doesn't listen/care, sue her for trespassing and property damage using the camera footage as proof. done. as a freebie, you make the world a better place to be. story two: if he married you as a compromise just so his kids could have a good mother figure for once, that implies that YOU are more worthy than whoever else that male managed to find. that means you are the best he could hope for. he's right in one thing. you aren't on the same league. you, clearly, outclass him. story four: dude, your sister needs profesional help. asap. she sounds like my ex-sister-in-law on steroids. and you need help too before you become like her.
As a father with shared custody of a child i understand the heart break of missing holidays with kids which is why i celabrate holidays i dont have with my kid and days i do have her on
last story He is def the jerk The sister almost ruined there wedding and talking about his wife Like take you wife her side she is in the right even the mom ignored her daughter for a year so says enough clearly
Story 1 - barbed wire fence then plant climbing roses along it. NO ONE is getting through that and it looks very pretty. We were forced to do it when school kids started using our backyard as a shortcut home up a hill. Here’s what happened….. We went to the school to ask them to speak to pupils about tresspassing. The children obviously ignored the warnings. After the kids ripped their clothing trying to climb the barbed wire and climbing rose fence, setting off our dog inside who injured himself as they climbed into our deck to tease him (we had security cameras installed) then entitled Karen’s complained about our fence hurting their children, followed by our calling the police who threatened to charge the parents for any damage caused by the kids (some of the senior local cops are family friends), and animal abuse by teasing the dog after seeing the video evidence, the complaints were dropped and our backyard was left alone. Does that make me a jerk? I doubt it, they were warned.
In the second story you need to divorce that husband ASAP he does not love you he married you for the wrong reasons and he is going to make the rest of your life miserable
Let me ask you something when people take wedding vows is it for better or worse or is it for better or until its inconvenient for me? The man is suffering from depression and may not be diagnosed. The guy is not seeking mental health because he might not know that he is depressed. Seem to me that she doesn't know either. I see the signs and that guy needs help and not to feel more abandonment, or he might commit suicide. But hey fuck him and his mental health that sounds like a him problem so just let him die. No one his family seems to care so why should strangers right.
Wait, why couldn't he just make the cookies? Why do people always have to pin stuff on someone else when the other person has basically nothing to do with it?
It had nothing to do about the cookies. He was just to justify his kids not wanting to be with him. It can't be because they don't want to be with him it must be the cookies. When someone suffers from mental depression they do not think straight and struggle with outcomes that hurt them emotionally. Some men have a hard time dealing with their emotions and if he is suffering from depression its even harder to deal with. Sounds like you never suffered from mental depression, lucky you, but some of us are not so lucky and need help. Her leaving is not helping him. Getting to see a doctor to diagnose him would help him.
For story 2: girl get the hell out of there For story 4: bro listen to your wife. Your sister is not healthy for your family, and honestly you’re kind of manipulating her.
First story: this is similar to one of my sisters friends who raises puppies to be guide dogs, it got worse when a very entitled aunt showed up and stole 2 of the puppies and called animal control to cover her tracks because she used the entitled wife to get to the puppies , aunt was caught but refused to say who she sold the puppies to and denies that she was there, well the entitled wife was mortified and her son was devastated that he couldn’t see the puppies anymore and told police of the cabin she owns where they found not only the puppies she stolen but several more in a barn Sadly my sisters friend had to relocate her business because of the entitled wife and aunt and she was unable to get the puppies back due to incompetence from the animal control
The dad whose kids want to celebrate Christmas with their mom should just celebrate Christmas with his kids on a different day. My family celebrates Christmas whenever everyone is available. Sometimes everyone can't get time off from work at the same time or the plane tickets right at Christmas time are too expensive or something so we celebrate Christmas a few days later or earlier instead. One year we celebrated both Christmas and Thanksgiving within a few hours of each other on December 15th. The dad in the video could celebrate Christmas with his kids that way and do his very best to make it as enjoyable as possible for them so that they want to come back the following year.
I legitimately laughed out loud when the OP in story three said that business picked up because it was a whopping 5 degrees outside. I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba and 5 degrees (-15 in celsius here) is what we call Halloween. I then stopped laughing very quickly when Tyra got the worst news of her life and I just wanted to be there to try and do something for her 😢
Regarding the third story: I sincerely hope that the OP knows they did nothing wrong in the situation where their colleague lost their father on Christmas. The OP was trying to decide if they had done something wrong (or contributed anything negative in this situation) by helping their co-worker locate an IPhone charger- thus enabling the co-worker to get the phone call about her family tragedy. The OP was wondering if it would have been better for their co-worker to hear the awful news later, when they were not at work. I did not hear anything regarding the co-worker's living arrangement, but on the off chance that they live alone, I think it is better for her to get the call while she is at work and not home alone, with nobody to help her, hug her, hand her a tissue and most of all- just be there for her. This is the kind of news that can lead to terrible decisions when someone is distraught and alone and even not knowing either party in this story, I am still very glad that she was not alone as well as proud of the OP for caring this much.
story 2: it pretty much seems he sees you as a nanny. a house in mother figure. not a wife. story 4: your wife is not in the wrong. you can still go to sisters events because you still want to see your sister. but your wife is right.
In the 2nd story, while i understand how the wife feels, what has to be understood is that his blowup is a projection of his own self... He believes that he is the compromise and he is the failure. I would not take it personal, but simultaneously I would not stand for him putting that on me. He needs reassurance that he isn't a failure and therapy for his unhealthy projecting of feelings of lack of confidence. The worst thing the OP could do to him is leave or take it personal, but at the same time, understanding this, she shouldn't just take it.
The trespass story: Ever hear of fences? Put a tall, sturdy fence around the yard, with a sturdy lock on any gate. Also , put up a solid, or near solid section of fence just inside your yard from the fence of the chicken property. This will make it very hard to see the chickens from your property. And pay a visit to the jerk's home to tell their family what they have been up to, and that they will be arrested if caught trespassing on your property again.
I felt bad for the dad who missed his kids, until he started yelling at his wife. My parents are divorced and I hardly see my dad anymore because I’m scared of staying there. His house is infested with rats, roaches, and spiders. At night you could hear gunshots and police sirens. My dad smokes and drinks and even being around that stuff makes me uneasy. Despite this I still care about him, he introduced me to some of my favorite shows and musicals. And he was a fun parent who gave me some freedoms when I visited him (my mom and stepdad were really strict)
Story 2: I think you just figured out what happened to his first marriage and probably why the kids wanted to stay with their mother. I think you should start the divorce process since this will likely happen again anytime the kids want to stay with their mom over him.
Story 2 - he’s hurt and lashing out. Talk to him and tell him how much he hurt you, while also telling him, you understand that he’s hurting himself. Be honest, but not brutal, If he throws another tantrum, go and stay with mum for a while. If things don’t improve by February 1st, you might wanna think about cutting track out of there because after that long it’s not getting better.
"Overhearing frequent or intense fighting is stressful for kids. Stress can take a toll on their physical and psychological well-being and interfere with normal, healthy development"
Damn right, fuck him and his mental health. He can stick his depression where the sun don't shine. It's not like she made a vow to him to be beside him for better or worse right? I'm sure it was for better or when it's inconvenient for her. The best thing to do is leave him and not to get him help. Not her problem to help the man she loves. Who helps people they love? We should only help ourselves to whatever we want. Me, me, me that's all I need right?
2nd story... Welcome to the reason his marriage broke up with his kid's mom. He has let you know how he feels about you (BELIEVE him) AND, he did it all behind closed doors where no one would see, then acts all lovey dovey charming in front of everyone to be seen... On the narcissistic spectrum much? Beware! If one stays with this type, more heartache is to come....
I really wish that we could have left the word "toxic" back in 2022. The last story makes me happy that my fiancé and I have already spoken on how to deal with dysfunctional so called family. We will not be dealing with them. Plus my soon to be in-laws are 8,000 miles away and I am good with that.
The over-use of the word "toxic" is toxic! 😁 Hearing those stories and looking at my family, friends and other relationships, it looks like I'm living in heaven.
*Story 1:* What the hell?! How can anyone assume that trespassing on other people's property is *not* a crime, that it's perfectly okay to do? I don't get that. What's even worse is that the trespasser decides to destroy what's on the property. Why?! I hope that OP called the police and had the trespasser arrested. What I would've done is had a sign erected on the front lawn saying *"No Trespassing. That means you!".* This karen neighbour clearly knows no boundaries, and she thinks that trespassing on yours and others properties is okay. Someone needs to put her in her place and insist to her, that no! It's *not* okay. If she has a problem with it, then OP needs to call the police and have her arrested.
Unless there's some unusual secret family recipe by cookies at a bakery cookies aren't the reason the kids didn't come it's because all the big family and fun at the mom's house sounds like he's just transferring his anger on to you I can see how it would make you want to leave but it might be worth a discussion and to let him know that that's something you're not going to tolerate
For the last story, its pretty obvious that thier sister is toxic and needs a reality check. Op should stop defending her actions just because they don't want to deal with the fall out.
Last story. What is with op making it seem like wife has to be the bigger person when husbands and his family are allowing the sister to be that way. At first i thought wife was in wrong, but the second husband wanted wife to brush things under the rug, hell no. The sister does not need to go to the family events if she is behaving like a brat. Stop enabling her bs. Shame on op for telling wife to set aside her boundaries. Unbelievably shameful on his end.
I saw somewhere before, it might have been one of these youtube videos, that when someone acts like the sister in the 4th story you should choose your adjectives for them wisely. Instead of describing the sister as having an "intense" personality, call it what it is: "childish" or "bitchy" or "shitty." Say it to her face. Never sugar coat it. If you start using negative words instead of euphemisms, she and others will start to realize that it is not ok behavior. Intense doesn't sound negative. It really makes it sound like everyone else just needs to learn to deal with it. If everyone starts describing her as she really is then it might shame her into better behavior. OP and his family has been enabling her.
Forget motion activated sprinklers. Just need a 20 foot prison wall with electrified barbed wire, motion tracking searchlights and a tornado siren. The only way to keep people like that off your property.
In the last story, OP has no idea he's basically saying his sister is more important to him than his wife. It's no longer a question of who's the bigger person. OP needs to stand with his wife and cut his sister out of their life, along with anyone else who thinks he should ask his wife to apologize to his sister, which, in effect, tells the sister she did nothing wrong. More than anything, OP's wife needs him to support her. He doesn't have to agree with her, but if he stands with her, he's showing her he cares about protecting his family. That's what she needs.
The christmas dad death call. I can totally relate my elder brother died early on christmas morning. It was the first call i got for the day. Since then my family has not celebrated on christmas day and we do not do presents. It just feels wrong to be happy on that day.
Damn right, fuck him and his mental health. He can stick his depression where the sun don't shine. It's not like she made a vow to him to be beside him for better or worse right? I'm sure it was for better or when it's inconvenient for her. The best thing to do is leave him and not to get him help. Not her problem to help the man she loves. Who helps people they love? We should only help ourselves to whatever we want. Me, me, me that's all I need right?
1st story, I can think of a lot of, passive aggressive ways to stop the trespassing, though I don’t know if they’d be legal since they’d be causing bodily harm ie: bear traps, though with very large signage saying they were on your property. And that’s just one example.
Story 2: Good news, she will divorce that PoS. Also its funny because he wanted the kids, but you can guess why the kids didn't want him or why he is divorced. He didn't even make the effort to know what the kids wanted, and it took her to call the ex to know. But when she does it right the guy still get mad because she apparently "ruin all of this" and he keep paint himself as the victim. So that angers her and she pack to her parents place, while tell him: "you will heard from my lawyer".
Cursed Holidays (and Birthdays) I can understand the feeling a bit. A few years back, my stepfather's father died a few days before Thanksgiving. As sad as it was, it was expected - the man had been dealing with health issues for a while. Thing is, just before that Christmas, his mother unexpectedly died, catching him and his siblings by surprise. Now, before you think that the woman died of a broken heart, the pair had been divorced for 20+ years. As it is, last year, my uncle's stepson died in a motorcycle accident, after my uncle's birthday but before his own. Then, this year, while celebrating said stepson's birthday, my uncle fell and burned his arm - he's okay, just needs to rest.
Holy shit this is the first time in my entire effing life that I've heard my own first name like used casually! I've met exactly 1 other person in my life named Tyra and my name seems unheard of outside of Tyra Banks lmao Its a weird feeling, it actually shook me XD Sorry for her loss tho
I still remember when my mom asked me to apologize to my sister in a scenario similar to this and I wouldn’t do it either. Thankfully, my mom excepted this because she knows my sisters in a hole but still.
So it's ok that KARENS has the authority to destroy people's property, but not ok to park front of the KARENS' homes on public streets? Kinda funny how KARENS repeats history.
The last story: OP’s sister is not intense, she's an overgrown woman child who never mentally matured past a tantrum-throwing 5-year-old. There's no such thing as resolving a conflict with a person like this. Even if you come to a seemingly decent compromise, there will always be a next time. I hate to say it, but this is quite common of someone who was coddled and always got their way. I used to know someone like this. Let's call her Molly. Molly was very typical of an entitled parent and quite frankly an entitled person. If wasn't for the fact that her parents are still alive, I would say this story was written about Molly. Molly was the type of person who expected everything to start and stop with her. If it didn't, it should. She was the most important thing in the world and should be at everyone's top list of priorities. I'm sure you know the type. She never kept a job and just lived off of her hard working beleaguered husband. She parentified her older daughter (husband's stepdaughter) and practically canonized her youngest son (daughter's half-brother). Since Molly never worked, always coming up with an excuse for why she couldn't keep a job or find one long enough for it to make a dent in her finances (but she always had her hair done, her nails done, full pack of cigarettes and booze in the fridge), she became an insufferable busybody who was not well liked by her neighbors. She excelled at gossip and sticking her nose where it didn't belong. Then social media came along. Molly was one of those people to parrot whatever talking point that was popular at the moment without doing any vetting or research to see if it was true. When she wasn't talking politics (a polarizing topic in and of itself) she was ranting about religion and Bible stuff. I have nothing against people who practice their faith, but Molly used hers as the basis for judging everyone around her when her life was hardly what would one call godly. Let's just say she totally missed the commandments that forbid stealing and adultery. People who didn't take her crap commented back that she was a big cheating witch and owed a lot of people money but never paid them back. Naturally, she didn't like the truth being exposed for everyone to see and this led to her getting repeatedly restricted. Predictably, Molly always played the victim, claiming that her freedom of speech was being violated. I remember one such incident where she, once again, stuck her nose where didn't belong and the person in the comment section that had been defamed threatened to sue everyone in the thread for libel. Molly, freaking out, called me up. I took her to task, letting her know that my prediction had come true: she had met someone who wasn't going to take her crap and was going to hold her accountable for her behavior. For clarity, Molly was about 50 years old at the time and should have known better. Molly said she had learned her lesson. I told her I didn't believe her and that when the next time eventually did occur, I would remind her that she said she had learned her lesson. Of course, Molly got over it, and went right back to being the nasty, vile witch that she truly is. The person that she tried to trample all over their boundaries was me. I anticipated her transgressions and had kept receipts. After declaring that I had a very good case of malice as well as slander, that I had also consulted an attorney, she was left crapping herself in her granny panties. I told her I knew suing her wouldn't do me any good because she was so broke she couldn't afford to pay attention. At best, she barely ever had two spare nickels to rub together. She tried to pull the woman card, the mother card, the friend card. I shot her down on all of those assertions. I did say that the court of public opinion would be more effective in exposing her for what she is by using her own words to indict her for her absolutely horrible behavior. To make an already long story much shorter, Molly turned into a ghost. I'm sure, in her twisted mind, she convinced herself that she was punishing me by withholding her attention. On the contrary. It was a nice mental vacation and she had inadvertently done me a colossal favor. I blocked her on everything and changed my number. I later found out from a mutual friend (whom I was finally able to wake up to what a toxic parasite Molly is), that she threw a tantrum that would have embarrassed a toddler. For further context, by that point, Molly was the mother of two grown children and was also a grandmother. I imagine seeing a woman in her 50s having a five-alarm meltdown because someone blocked her on social media is quite the unnerving sight.
Why couldn't the husband make the cookies if it was so easy? He's disgusting. He married her for a babysitter. Divorce him. He's had several narc traits.
For the last story the man is a toxic piece of trash for a husband and shouldn’t be surprised when his wife leaves him that’s terrible to treat your wife like that
I totally get Tyra and OP in #3, we lost my mom to cancer on my 12th birthday, I was told at school by the councilor and my aunt so basically the entire school saw me breaking down, I wasn't very thrilled about my birthday since.
The story with Christmas I cried a bit because I know the feeling of losing a loved one too. OP you’re not alone on that my mom almost every thanksgiving always seems to get hurt SOMEHOW!? and even once sent in an ambulance to the hospital. I went to my dad’s while my older sister cooked the rest of thanksgiving while her boyfriend comforted her. I like to get my mind off things like that so going with dad was a distraction I needed.
The Christmas story the kids need to realise that they’ve got TWO parents and stop being materialistic it just sounds like the op husband had reached the straw that broke the camel back and vented on the nearest person at the time
Do this if you love me. The wife should divorce the jerk after that kind of garbage. I feel so sorry for the wife with the insane husband and inlaws. The wealthy Karen controlling the family is so toxic they should get a court order to keep her away. The whole family needs to get counseling. The children should not be exposed to that environment because it might rub off. I will bet the do this if you love me came from his sister and he is repeating it.
last story:
the sister doesn’t have an “intense” personality, she’s just entitled. op’s family continues to enable her personality by making other people apologize for her own actions. i’m surprised that the wife hasn’t divorced him after all that’s happened (including the MULTIPLE TRIPS where she’s left by herself.)
sister needs professional help asap
Same. I wouldn't be surprised either if she divorces him. It makes no since why he and the rest of his family are to chicken shit to tell his sister off lol
@@sk31370n help only works if the person wants to change.
True, she should have divorced him...she was busy working, taking care of their child and taking care of all the trouble "the sister" did and the husband & family asked the wife to apologize. He even wrote as if the wife is the problem one, he should've listened back to this audio and repented...this is insane totally insane 😒
Last story: my guess is that, that dude is going to be very surprised when he get served divorce papers, he is totally clueless. It's almost funny, if it wouldn't be so sad.
He is trying to not have to chose between his family and his wife. But that is the American way. Divorce over anything.
@@sirblack1619 His family would only benefit from not enabling his crazy sister in a long run.
People really need to stop with this whole “be the bigger person” bs.
1. his sister is CLEARLY a toxic B. and does not deserve an apology for her behaviour.
2. what does he expect happens after his wife apologizes? nothing will change. His sister will continue to act this toxic and his wife will probably hate his sister even more.
If you keep on “being the bigger person” you just show toxic and entitled people that they can get away with their shitty behaviour because others will apologize anyways.
Yeah being the bigger person also means acknowledging when a relationship is toxic and cutting it out XD
In the second story, there’s some emotional issues with the husband. NOBODY blows up over cookies like that. He needs counseling. On face value, he needs help dealing with the divorce, and the fact that his children prefers moms house for Christmas instead of his. Looking at all the gifts under the tree, with nobody there to open them, AND the mother of the children not there, I believe that he projected his issues on his wife.
If they get a divorce, that’s her choice, but nonetheless, HE NEEDS COUNSELING.
you are wrong.
How often does the OP expect his wife to be the bigger person? If the sister is in the wrong, she needs to be the bigger person an apologize. Stop pacifying her. 🙄😒
He expects it literally every waking moment, because he's a coward
Exactly
@@rollitup419 That and probably just tired of hearing his sister mouth. He's only doing more harm to both his marriage and sister. 😡🥴
I like how his entire story was about how his wife was in the right, but then gets mad that his wife is upset about it.
True
What's wrong with doing what your wife wants in backing her up and taking her side instead of continuing to enable your sister like everybody always has that's why the situation started
Exactly! The sister needs to take accountability! The sister is a spoiled narcissist!
He wanted that luxury vacation
I can't with the husband blaming it all on the cookies as if his children haven't chosen to spend the holidays with their mom for years lol it's clearly not the issue
Rights? OP needs to get out now! As in RUN, don't walk, RUN! His attitude, behavior, and character is the reason why his kids don't want to spend Christmas with him, not OP!
Depression is a hell have a mental disorder. Why help him just leave him. Fuck those people who need mental help. So many nice and understanding people we have here.
Clearly none of y’all been divorced with kids it has nothing to do with the cookies from what is sounds like is he’s got some unresolved issues with what he’s looking for in a woman and he’s hurt and depressed because he doesn’t understand the kids want to be around their cousins and how come they don’t want to be around him he’s using the cookies as a lashing out device I also think that’s wrong of him to be doing that but the wife clearly didn’t know what she was getting involved in and if she thinks this is too much for her that she should walk away.
@@copperphilosophy4768 if the ops husband is my aunts x wich frsm reason it sounds like it is then yes he has emotional issues and his kids have always wanted to stay w there mother
Also why didn't op make the damn cookies himself? He said he only married a woman because he needed a mom not a wife... sounds like he was looking for a slave not a lover. No wonder the kids don't like him
I really don't think that the husband in that second story was truly upset about the cookies the cookies are just the thing that he chose to latch on to and complain about. I get that he's upset that his kids don't want to see him obviously that would devastate just about anyone. But that does not give you the right to attack your wife and blame her for things that are outside of control and that have nothing to do with her.
Was going to post practically the exact same thing. But someone beat me to it. :)
This doesn't sound like his normal behavior. He's hurt and lashing out, because when we're hurt, we can get irrational. Does not excuse his behavior - he needs to apologize to his wife 100% - but it's not like there isn't something underlying what took place, and that something isn't defining of how their relationship normally is. Letting the dust settle and having a supportive-but-boundary-defining chat about things sounds like a good way to recover from this in a constructive manner.
...Or I dunno. This is "Am I the Jerk?" so obviously he's the scum of the earth, can be assumed to always screams at her when things don't go his way, probably beats her regularly, and the only way forward is to go scorched earth on the relationship rather than first trying to pursue a positive resolution. All relationships, regardless of the past two individuals may have shared leading to this point, are soap bubbles waiting to pop! Any and all fights are a sign you're incompatible and MUST break up and go no-contact, and consider getting a restraining order ASAP.
I see someone never had to deal with some going through depression. Lucky you.
@@Paul-vw9tq Wth, this person is correct the ops husband has emotional problems and lached to the cookies because the kids don’t want to be w him and how do I know this may u ask because this may or may not be my aunts x husband’s wife
@@Mr_PuppyYT that's what I thought I implied.
@@Paul-vw9tq oh wate nm I just reread the comment sry for the inconvenience
Story #2: That's literally verbal and emotional abuse. I really dislike people that take their own misery out on other people and she shouldn't put up with that bullshit for a second. Even if he makes a heartfel apology, he said things that just can't be taken back and like the narrator said, he was just showing his true colors.
That right fuck that guy going through mental depression. Why should the woman who claims to love him help get him help? Just leave lady you didn't sign up for that. And if the next guy gets cancer fucking leave him too. You didn't sign up for cancer disable guy. In fact the second you see anybody with a runny nose leave them as well you didn't sign up for sick people. It all about me, myself, and I in this world. Fuck you loved ones you got to watch out for number 1 ya fucking self grandiose narcissist psycho.
I'd like to know if there's an update on the last story.... I hope the wife put her foot down and told the husband if he keeps pressuring her that she'll just take the kids and leave him and serve him with divorce papers... the husband admitted that his family is enabling his sister, so why can't he get it through his thick skull that his sister is the one in the wrong NOT his wife? He should be backing up his wife NOT his toxic sister. I know what it's like to have toxic family members, I have a sister too that I refuse to speak to because she and her children (all except for one) are toxic, they get some kind of sick thrill from hurting family and spreading rumors about family, they are bullies. They get upset when people just stop talking to them and don't put up with their crap and try to ruin those people's lives like they have tried with me, but lucky for me my boss doesn't listen to BS and will hang up on them every single time
Same, I hope the husband gets served with divorce papers.
Last year at Christmas my cousin screamed obscenities at me for 2 hours and insulted me online until I had to block him. Grandma wants me to apologize to him. I'm tired of the family walking on eggshells for the most emotionally unregulated person. It's that way in every family it seems.
story one: note about the Karen wanting to see chickens. warn her once and set a hiden security camera. call cops next time she enters your property. if she doesn't listen/care, sue her for trespassing and property damage using the camera footage as proof. done. as a freebie, you make the world a better place to be.
story two: if he married you as a compromise just so his kids could have a good mother figure for once, that implies that YOU are more worthy than whoever else that male managed to find. that means you are the best he could hope for. he's right in one thing. you aren't on the same league. you, clearly, outclass him.
story four: dude, your sister needs profesional help. asap. she sounds like my ex-sister-in-law on steroids. and you need help too before you become like her.
As a father with shared custody of a child i understand the heart break of missing holidays with kids which is why i celabrate holidays i dont have with my kid and days i do have her on
last story He is def the jerk The sister almost ruined there wedding and talking about his wife Like take you wife her side she is in the right even the mom ignored her daughter for a year so says enough clearly
Story 1 - barbed wire fence then plant climbing roses along it. NO ONE is getting through that and it looks very pretty.
We were forced to do it when school kids started using our backyard as a shortcut home up a hill. Here’s what happened…..
We went to the school to ask them to speak to pupils about tresspassing.
The children obviously ignored the warnings.
After the kids ripped their clothing trying to climb the barbed wire and climbing rose fence, setting off our dog inside who injured himself as they climbed into our deck to tease him (we had security cameras installed) then entitled Karen’s complained about our fence hurting their children, followed by our calling the police who threatened to charge the parents for any damage caused by the kids (some of the senior local cops are family friends), and animal abuse by teasing the dog after seeing the video evidence, the complaints were dropped and our backyard was left alone. Does that make me a jerk? I doubt it, they were warned.
In the second story you need to divorce that husband ASAP he does not love you he married you for the wrong reasons and he is going to make the rest of your life miserable
He is a complete and utter moron
I think both party’s are in the right he probably blew up thanks to pressure when the children left he probably couldn’t hold it in.
You haven't been in a relationship that's successfully lasted more than a year, have you?
Let me ask you something when people take wedding vows is it for better or worse or is it for better or until its inconvenient for me? The man is suffering from depression and may not be diagnosed. The guy is not seeking mental health because he might not know that he is depressed. Seem to me that she doesn't know either. I see the signs and that guy needs help and not to feel more abandonment, or he might commit suicide. But hey fuck him and his mental health that sounds like a him problem so just let him die. No one his family seems to care so why should strangers right.
Yeah just throw out the divorce action! Simple fix...the vows mean nothing? What a sorry ass society this has become!
Wait, why couldn't he just make the cookies? Why do people always have to pin stuff on someone else when the other person has basically nothing to do with it?
OMG, I thought I was the only one thinking this! If the cookies were so important, seems like the easiest resolution would be for him to bake them.
It had nothing to do about the cookies. He was just to justify his kids not wanting to be with him. It can't be because they don't want to be with him it must be the cookies. When someone suffers from mental depression they do not think straight and struggle with outcomes that hurt them emotionally. Some men have a hard time dealing with their emotions and if he is suffering from depression its even harder to deal with. Sounds like you never suffered from mental depression, lucky you, but some of us are not so lucky and need help. Her leaving is not helping him. Getting to see a doctor to diagnose him would help him.
Honestly, the sister in the fourth story seems pretty horrible. I think that it's just so petty how she is described as behaving.
I appreciate borderlands being in the background
Finally someone else that recognizes borderlands. Did you know that borderlands game is borderlands 3
For story 2: girl get the hell out of there
For story 4: bro listen to your wife. Your sister is not healthy for your family, and honestly you’re kind of manipulating her.
First story: this is similar to one of my sisters friends who raises puppies to be guide dogs, it got worse when a very entitled aunt showed up and stole 2 of the puppies and called animal control to cover her tracks because she used the entitled wife to get to the puppies , aunt was caught but refused to say who she sold the puppies to and denies that she was there, well the entitled wife was mortified and her son was devastated that he couldn’t see the puppies anymore and told police of the cabin she owns where they found not only the puppies she stolen but several more in a barn
Sadly my sisters friend had to relocate her business because of the entitled wife and aunt and she was unable to get the puppies back due to incompetence from the animal control
The dad whose kids want to celebrate Christmas with their mom should just celebrate Christmas with his kids on a different day. My family celebrates Christmas whenever everyone is available. Sometimes everyone can't get time off from work at the same time or the plane tickets right at Christmas time are too expensive or something so we celebrate Christmas a few days later or earlier instead. One year we celebrated both Christmas and Thanksgiving within a few hours of each other on December 15th. The dad in the video could celebrate Christmas with his kids that way and do his very best to make it as enjoyable as possible for them so that they want to come back the following year.
I legitimately laughed out loud when the OP in story three said that business picked up because it was a whopping 5 degrees outside.
I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba and 5 degrees (-15 in celsius here) is what we call Halloween.
I then stopped laughing very quickly when Tyra got the worst news of her life and I just wanted to be there to try and do something for her 😢
The Karen in the first one though 😂
doesn't karen know that trespassing is a crime?
Karens can never do anything wrong, immoral or illegal..... in their own minds.
Even shoving slapping and punching right on top of your property
1st story; hmm i wonder why he's divorced
Regarding the third story: I sincerely hope that the OP knows they did nothing wrong in the situation where their colleague lost their father on Christmas. The OP was trying to decide if they had done something wrong (or contributed anything negative in this situation) by helping their co-worker locate an IPhone charger- thus enabling the co-worker to get the phone call about her family tragedy. The OP was wondering if it would have been better for their co-worker to hear the awful news later, when they were not at work. I did not hear anything regarding the co-worker's living arrangement, but on the off chance that they live alone, I think it is better for her to get the call while she is at work and not home alone, with nobody to help her, hug her, hand her a tissue and most of all- just be there for her. This is the kind of news that can lead to terrible decisions when someone is distraught and alone and even not knowing either party in this story, I am still very glad that she was not alone as well as proud of the OP for caring this much.
"Intense"? She sounds like a
See You .Next Tuesday to me! 😊
story 2: it pretty much seems he sees you as a nanny. a house in mother figure. not a wife.
story 4: your wife is not in the wrong. you can still go to sisters events because you still want to see your sister. but your wife is right.
The person with the garden, put up a fence and gate.
Bro really said glitch 😂😂😂
In the 2nd story, while i understand how the wife feels, what has to be understood is that his blowup is a projection of his own self... He believes that he is the compromise and he is the failure. I would not take it personal, but simultaneously I would not stand for him putting that on me. He needs reassurance that he isn't a failure and therapy for his unhealthy projecting of feelings of lack of confidence. The worst thing the OP could do to him is leave or take it personal, but at the same time, understanding this, she shouldn't just take it.
The trespass story: Ever hear of fences? Put a tall, sturdy fence around the yard, with a sturdy lock on any gate. Also , put up a solid, or near solid section of fence just inside your yard from the fence of the chicken property. This will make it very hard to see the chickens from your property. And pay a visit to the jerk's home to tell their family what they have been up to, and that they will be arrested if caught trespassing on your property again.
I felt bad for the dad who missed his kids, until he started yelling at his wife. My parents are divorced and I hardly see my dad anymore because I’m scared of staying there. His house is infested with rats, roaches, and spiders. At night you could hear gunshots and police sirens. My dad smokes and drinks and even being around that stuff makes me uneasy. Despite this I still care about him, he introduced me to some of my favorite shows and musicals. And he was a fun parent who gave me some freedoms when I visited him (my mom and stepdad were really strict)
Story 2: I think you just figured out what happened to his first marriage and probably why the kids wanted to stay with their mother. I think you should start the divorce process since this will likely happen again anytime the kids want to stay with their mom over him.
I totally agree with everything that you said about that last story
Story 2 - he’s hurt and lashing out. Talk to him and tell him how much he hurt you, while also telling him, you understand that he’s hurting himself. Be honest, but not brutal,
If he throws another tantrum, go and stay with mum for a while.
If things don’t improve by February 1st, you might wanna think about cutting track out of there because after that long it’s not getting better.
"Overhearing frequent or intense fighting is stressful for kids. Stress can take a toll on their physical and psychological well-being and interfere with normal, healthy development"
2nd story She needs to leave that relationship dangggggggg. I want an update to this Christmas story.
Op in story 2 needs a divorce
Damn right, fuck him and his mental health. He can stick his depression where the sun don't shine. It's not like she made a vow to him to be beside him for better or worse right? I'm sure it was for better or when it's inconvenient for her. The best thing to do is leave him and not to get him help. Not her problem to help the man she loves. Who helps people they love? We should only help ourselves to whatever we want. Me, me, me that's all I need right?
2nd story... Welcome to the reason his marriage broke up with his kid's mom. He has let you know how he feels about you (BELIEVE him) AND, he did it all behind closed doors where no one would see, then acts all lovey dovey charming in front of everyone to be seen... On the narcissistic spectrum much? Beware! If one stays with this type, more heartache is to come....
In the first one I thought fr the chickens were trampling the garden😂
I really wish that we could have left the word "toxic" back in 2022.
The last story makes me happy that my fiancé and I have already spoken on how to deal with dysfunctional so called family. We will not be dealing with them. Plus my soon to be in-laws are 8,000 miles away and I am good with that.
The over-use of the word "toxic" is toxic! 😁
Hearing those stories and looking at my family, friends and other relationships, it looks like I'm living in heaven.
*Story 1:* What the hell?! How can anyone assume that trespassing on other people's property is *not* a crime, that it's perfectly okay to do? I don't get that. What's even worse is that the trespasser decides to destroy what's on the property. Why?! I hope that OP called the police and had the trespasser arrested. What I would've done is had a sign erected on the front lawn saying *"No Trespassing. That means you!".* This karen neighbour clearly knows no boundaries, and she thinks that trespassing on yours and others properties is okay. Someone needs to put her in her place and insist to her, that no! It's *not* okay. If she has a problem with it, then OP needs to call the police and have her arrested.
Unless there's some unusual secret family recipe by cookies at a bakery cookies aren't the reason the kids didn't come it's because all the big family and fun at the mom's house sounds like he's just transferring his anger on to you I can see how it would make you want to leave but it might be worth a discussion and to let him know that that's something you're not going to tolerate
My heart goes to that girl Tyra. I know your pain
The christmas being cursed story reminds me of my story about my birthday from age 10 till now
Hopefully these karens stop what they are doing permanently
They all deserve to have restraining order right now
For the last story, its pretty obvious that thier sister is toxic and needs a reality check. Op should stop defending her actions just because they don't want to deal with the fall out.
Last story. What is with op making it seem like wife has to be the bigger person when husbands and his family are allowing the sister to be that way. At first i thought wife was in wrong, but the second husband wanted wife to brush things under the rug, hell no. The sister does not need to go to the family events if she is behaving like a brat. Stop enabling her bs.
Shame on op for telling wife to set aside her boundaries. Unbelievably shameful on his end.
Yaaas, the comment for this one is beautiful! 10/10
@@slayitha Did you just reply to yourself?
@sim5737 i reply to my reply when i come across something new about same subject. So meh.
I saw somewhere before, it might have been one of these youtube videos, that when someone acts like the sister in the 4th story you should choose your adjectives for them wisely. Instead of describing the sister as having an "intense" personality, call it what it is: "childish" or "bitchy" or "shitty." Say it to her face. Never sugar coat it. If you start using negative words instead of euphemisms, she and others will start to realize that it is not ok behavior. Intense doesn't sound negative. It really makes it sound like everyone else just needs to learn to deal with it. If everyone starts describing her as she really is then it might shame her into better behavior. OP and his family has been enabling her.
Why can't the husband himself learn How to make cookies?
He's a grown adult, he should be able to learn.
Why can't daddy bake the damn cookies?!
Forget motion activated sprinklers. Just need a 20 foot prison wall with electrified barbed wire, motion tracking searchlights and a tornado siren. The only way to keep people like that off your property.
In the last story, OP has no idea he's basically saying his sister is more important to him than his wife. It's no longer a question of who's the bigger person. OP needs to stand with his wife and cut his sister out of their life, along with anyone else who thinks he should ask his wife to apologize to his sister, which, in effect, tells the sister she did nothing wrong. More than anything, OP's wife needs him to support her. He doesn't have to agree with her, but if he stands with her, he's showing her he cares about protecting his family. That's what she needs.
Good that trespassing Karen went to jail
Bro I think you could probably just straight up sue for destruction of property and trespassing
The christmas dad death call. I can totally relate my elder brother died early on christmas morning. It was the first call i got for the day. Since then my family has not celebrated on christmas day and we do not do presents. It just feels wrong to be happy on that day.
That had to be a very sad Christmas. It is heartbreaking, DUMP HIM!
Damn right, fuck him and his mental health. He can stick his depression where the sun don't shine. It's not like she made a vow to him to be beside him for better or worse right? I'm sure it was for better or when it's inconvenient for her. The best thing to do is leave him and not to get him help. Not her problem to help the man she loves. Who helps people they love? We should only help ourselves to whatever we want. Me, me, me that's all I need right?
Sprinklers would have stopped that.
Bro must have liked sweets to much
1st story, I can think of a lot of, passive aggressive ways to stop the trespassing, though I don’t know if they’d be legal since they’d be causing bodily harm ie: bear traps, though with very large signage saying they were on your property. And that’s just one example.
The second guy seems like he just lashed out in anger bc he was sad and childish
Lady hit the bricks and leave the male Karen.
Story 2: Good news, she will divorce that PoS. Also its funny because he wanted the kids, but you can guess why the kids didn't want him or why he is divorced. He didn't even make the effort to know what the kids wanted, and it took her to call the ex to know. But when she does it right the guy still get mad because she apparently "ruin all of this" and he keep paint himself as the victim. So that angers her and she pack to her parents place, while tell him: "you will heard from my lawyer".
Cursed Holidays (and Birthdays)
I can understand the feeling a bit. A few years back, my stepfather's father died a few days before Thanksgiving. As sad as it was, it was expected - the man had been dealing with health issues for a while. Thing is, just before that Christmas, his mother unexpectedly died, catching him and his siblings by surprise. Now, before you think that the woman died of a broken heart, the pair had been divorced for 20+ years.
As it is, last year, my uncle's stepson died in a motorcycle accident, after my uncle's birthday but before his own. Then, this year, while celebrating said stepson's birthday, my uncle fell and burned his arm - he's okay, just needs to rest.
Holy shit this is the first time in my entire effing life that I've heard my own first name like used casually!
I've met exactly 1 other person in my life named Tyra and my name seems unheard of outside of Tyra Banks lmao
Its a weird feeling, it actually shook me XD
Sorry for her loss tho
In story two I wonder if your husband can make those cookies let's see the failure
I would put up an electric fence or just a straight up fence to keep that Karen out I am glad she is in jail
Story #1: I thought this was my neighbor for a hot sec
I may not know my flowers, but I know a BI*** WHEN I SEE ONE 😂
The narrator's Karen voice should be trademarked
Your take on the first Christmas story with the kids was the most pathetic way you could possibly handle that situation
Buckwheat is a good gluten-free option for pancakes and waffles
In the Christmas story I'd have said no reason your kids don't love you get up and leave to my family and tell them everything
If I was OP's wife in the last story, I'll give him an ultimatum: either you make your sister apologize, or our marriage is over! You have 3 days.
That's just as toxic. Have you tried getting someone who thinks they are right to admit they are wrong?
Dude! Back your wife, ghost your sister for a while. Tell sis to no yellin!
I still remember when my mom asked me to apologize to my sister in a scenario similar to this and I wouldn’t do it either. Thankfully, my mom excepted this because she knows my sisters in a hole but still.
If they can't bake cookies get some at the bakery problem-solve
Fun fact : "Cul de sac" is a french expression, we do use it but you can translate it as "bag's ass"
The narrator have a nice voice, and usually they sound like a robot, but in this video they actually sounded like human
So, you got married so quickly that you'd never spent a Xmas together?
Might be the problem
So it's ok that KARENS has the authority to destroy people's property, but not ok to park front of the KARENS' homes on public streets?
Kinda funny how KARENS repeats history.
What a load of self pity!!!
Cookies!!!! Leave his ass, divorce
The last story: OP’s sister is not intense, she's an overgrown woman child who never mentally matured past a tantrum-throwing 5-year-old. There's no such thing as resolving a conflict with a person like this. Even if you come to a seemingly decent compromise, there will always be a next time. I hate to say it, but this is quite common of someone who was coddled and always got their way. I used to know someone like this. Let's call her Molly. Molly was very typical of an entitled parent and quite frankly an entitled person. If wasn't for the fact that her parents are still alive, I would say this story was written about Molly. Molly was the type of person who expected everything to start and stop with her. If it didn't, it should. She was the most important thing in the world and should be at everyone's top list of priorities. I'm sure you know the type. She never kept a job and just lived off of her hard working beleaguered husband. She parentified her older daughter (husband's stepdaughter) and practically canonized her youngest son (daughter's half-brother). Since Molly never worked, always coming up with an excuse for why she couldn't keep a job or find one long enough for it to make a dent in her finances (but she always had her hair done, her nails done, full pack of cigarettes and booze in the fridge), she became an insufferable busybody who was not well liked by her neighbors. She excelled at gossip and sticking her nose where it didn't belong. Then social media came along. Molly was one of those people to parrot whatever talking point that was popular at the moment without doing any vetting or research to see if it was true. When she wasn't talking politics (a polarizing topic in and of itself) she was ranting about religion and Bible stuff. I have nothing against people who practice their faith, but Molly used hers as the basis for judging everyone around her when her life was hardly what would one call godly. Let's just say she totally missed the commandments that forbid stealing and adultery. People who didn't take her crap commented back that she was a big cheating witch and owed a lot of people money but never paid them back. Naturally, she didn't like the truth being exposed for everyone to see and this led to her getting repeatedly restricted. Predictably, Molly always played the victim, claiming that her freedom of speech was being violated. I remember one such incident where she, once again, stuck her nose where didn't belong and the person in the comment section that had been defamed threatened to sue everyone in the thread for libel. Molly, freaking out, called me up. I took her to task, letting her know that my prediction had come true: she had met someone who wasn't going to take her crap and was going to hold her accountable for her behavior. For clarity, Molly was about 50 years old at the time and should have known better. Molly said she had learned her lesson. I told her I didn't believe her and that when the next time eventually did occur, I would remind her that she said she had learned her lesson. Of course, Molly got over it, and went right back to being the nasty, vile witch that she truly is. The person that she tried to trample all over their boundaries was me. I anticipated her transgressions and had kept receipts. After declaring that I had a very good case of malice as well as slander, that I had also consulted an attorney, she was left crapping herself in her granny panties. I told her I knew suing her wouldn't do me any good because she was so broke she couldn't afford to pay attention. At best, she barely ever had two spare nickels to rub together. She tried to pull the woman card, the mother card, the friend card. I shot her down on all of those assertions. I did say that the court of public opinion would be more effective in exposing her for what she is by using her own words to indict her for her absolutely horrible behavior. To make an already long story much shorter, Molly turned into a ghost. I'm sure, in her twisted mind, she convinced herself that she was punishing me by withholding her attention. On the contrary. It was a nice mental vacation and she had inadvertently done me a colossal favor. I blocked her on everything and changed my number. I later found out from a mutual friend (whom I was finally able to wake up to what a toxic parasite Molly is), that she threw a tantrum that would have embarrassed a toddler. For further context, by that point, Molly was the mother of two grown children and was also a grandmother. I imagine seeing a woman in her 50s having a five-alarm meltdown because someone blocked her on social media is quite the unnerving sight.
Story 3. I've had a big family member die and April fools day so when the message went out I screamed that it better not be a joke.
Why couldn't the husband make the cookies if it was so easy?
He's disgusting. He married her for a babysitter. Divorce him.
He's had several narc traits.
Honestly... I would have simply built a fence to prevent that Karen mother from continuously walking over the garden.
For the last story the man is a toxic piece of trash for a husband and shouldn’t be surprised when his wife leaves him that’s terrible to treat your wife like that
They want her to stop trespassing... get fucking cameras and record her on your property.
I totally get Tyra and OP in #3, we lost my mom to cancer on my 12th birthday, I was told at school by the councilor and my aunt so basically the entire school saw me breaking down, I wasn't very thrilled about my birthday since.
The story with Christmas I cried a bit because I know the feeling of losing a loved one too. OP you’re not alone on that my mom almost every thanksgiving always seems to get hurt SOMEHOW!? and even once sent in an ambulance to the hospital. I went to my dad’s while my older sister cooked the rest of thanksgiving while her boyfriend comforted her. I like to get my mind off things like that so going with dad was a distraction I needed.
Once you hear how the AI voice drops about an octave in the last syllable of every sentence you can't unhear it.
The Christmas story the kids need to realise that they’ve got TWO parents and stop being materialistic it just sounds like the op husband had reached the straw that broke the camel back and vented on the nearest person at the time
Last story conclusion: TAKE THEM BOTH TO THERAPY!
My Pa (grandpa in Geman) died on Christmas Eve when I was 10, and my grandma died 2 days after Christmas... I hate Christmas...
Do this if you love me. The wife should divorce the jerk after that kind of garbage. I feel so sorry for the wife with the insane husband and inlaws. The wealthy Karen controlling the family is so toxic they should get a court order to keep her away. The whole family needs to get counseling. The children should not be exposed to that environment because it might rub off. I will bet the do this if you love me came from his sister and he is repeating it.
I also give her permission to watch the chickens and it's worth about as much.
That father in the second story is a failure
