While their home underwent renovations, a woman and her fiancé opted to reside at the woman’s sister’s house. Throughout their stay, the woman observed firsthand the lack of assistance her pregnant sister received from her spouse. Despite working for over 40 hours, the pregnant sister also handled household chores on her own. At the Thanksgiving dinner, the woman resolved to impart a lesson to her brother-in-law.In November 2021, an anonymous female poster shared a poignant narrative in Reddit’s “AITA” forum. The woman, aged 24, recounted a story about her sister, 32, and her husband,

38, who was the epitome of weaponized incompetence.Despite juggling a full-time job of over 40 hours a week, managing the entire household, and caring for their four children — 10F, 8M, 5M, and 3F — while pregnant, her sister’s husband contributed nothing. The woman found it astonishing that her sister woke up at 4 a.m., handled breakfast and chores, and got the kids ready for school, all while her husband stayed home, worked, and indulged in video games after she picked the children up. Notably, the woman mentioned that her sister actually earned more than her husband.

What Happened When OP and Her Fiancé Stayed with Her Sister? While their home was being renovated, the woman and her fiancé, 26, had to stay at her sister’s place for six weeks. Since the couple worked from home, they were able to offer assistance, and the additional support made the woman’s sister feel happy and relieved. He claimed the incident had made him the laughingstock of his family. The woman contributed by helping her sister with the kids,

and her fiancé even drove her to doctor’s appointments. In contrast, the husband only acknowledged his parental role when his family was present, portraying himself as a god-fearing and hardworking father of five. Despite the woman’s sister desiring to stop having children after the last baby, her husband insisted on having more boys. The original poster was concerned not only for her sister but also for her children, especially as the oldest began to recognize the situation and attempted to assist. However, OP’s sister, driven by pride, adamantly refused to let her child take on any responsibilities. OP admitted that she never got along with her brother-in-law, and his behavior had persisted since the birth of his eight-year-old son.
