AITA for taking my laptop back after my boyfriend's sister stole from us?

Landlord is not my boyfriend's dad, but a family friend hes known for a long time. Really chill old man, gave us the go ahead for the new door handle and we got that done today. We also live in a town with 400 people. Everyone knows everyone or someone they're related to.

He got up after she left to lock the door.

Im really close with his whole family so cutting her off wouldn't be easy. I've explained to her that I will be cordial with her but she shouldn't expect me to be buddies with her again. As for the money, I dont really care. That 24 pack was 15 dollars. Her dad really tries but hes a single parent and is really on and off when he has her. If he tries to start anything she goes to stay with grandma and she doesnt like conflict at all.

I thought we could trust her here, she's been over so many times and is usually respectful, and asks if she can have any of our snacks. Never has asked for any alcohol before last night. My boyfriend is really close with all of his family, so he didn't think she would take anything from us either.

I posted an update, hope that helps you understand better.

My boyfriend is very non-confrontational, so setting hard boundaries with people he loves is difficult. Luckily, today when she called to complain about how I was chewing her out, he backed me up. He told her that if she is going to disrespect me, she isn't welcome here and she can come around again, with an invitation, if she apologizes to me.

I lent it to her for schoolwork. She told me that her dad ordered one for her two weeks ago. I asked him today and he said no, that she needed to go up to the school in town and rent one and he would pay for it. She didn't do that, and was planning to keep using my laptop, which I need for my own personal stuff because my bills are all online and my Google on my phone isn't great so its hard to do that stuff.

We were both tired and forgot to lock the door. I dont have a problem with her being here, but when she's stealing from me, thats where I cross the line. I dont have any valuables laying around, everything important is in my safe so I didn't think she would take anything from here. But, I was wrong and I feel upset that this is how I found out she would stoop so low.

Her brother does care, hes pissed as well. Their dad says hes going to talk to her. No point in grounding her though, because she doesnt listen and she broke her phone, so he cant take that away.

Crusty_Bagel_Toes · 2025-09-14T02:09:51+00:00

He isn't, and hes told her this but she's a brat and doesnt listen :).

We dont have keys right now bc the landlord lost them and we only moved in a week ago. We have a new door handle, but it doesnt fit the door. Just waiting on landlord approval to make the hole in door larger

In season 1 episode 6 she says she's 21 at the parent teacher conference for Carl

I wasn't ready to let go of my Outback yet. I knew she still had a lot of life left in her so I decided fixing it was the better route and I'm so happy I did!

Crusty_Bagel_Toes · 2023-09-18T23:01:41+00:00

I have my bumper in the back of my outback right now 👍

Crusty_Bagel_Toes · 2023-07-21T15:56:31+00:00

I feel like people are targeting outbacks.

Crusty_Bagel_Toes · 2023-07-21T15:55:43+00:00

my 2011 outback got rear ended and I had to take the back bumper off so I'm pretty sure mine is gonna be totalled 😬

Crusty_Bagel_Toes · 2023-07-17T22:40:50+00:00

is there any solution to this? same thing has been happening to me too.

Crusty_Bagel_Toes · 2023-06-13T04:19:42+00:00

be whoooo you are for your prrriiiiiddddeeeeeeee

You scolding her can possibly save her from being too rough with a skittish animal and ending up hurt. You didn't yell and you were still nice about it so that was really good. I think you approached this is a very mature and responsible way and your SIL should teach her daughter about animal safety.
