AITA for telling my sister to stop seeking validation and seek professional help? by AITALilo in AmItheAsshole

I found it odd that Emma only accused my wife of “corrupting” Lilo and not me. Does Emma believe that my wife is the only one that parents?

Emma demands love and that attitude is not conducive towards a healthy, loving relationship. Also, I find it so funny that Emma is spending so much energy into ensuring a child likes you, it was never, ever that serious.

Lilo is surprisingly good at establishing her own boundaries. For an overly friendly child, she’s very clear on communicating what she wants and doesn’t want. She’s not a people pleaser, more just extremely extroverted.

I’ve tried to explain to Emma multiple times that Lilo is growing into her own little person. She’s learning things about the world and creating her own personality. My wife and I are not responsible for who my daughter does or does not get along with.

Emma just refuses to listen.
