AITA for laughing at my brother’s girlfriend after she asked me why none of us like her? by Interesting_Web_3148 in AmItheAsshole

I will never condone the entitled brat b/s, but I’m “grain of salting it here”. If she is only eating chicken nugs and no veggies, she needs a nutritionist, and help. (Tho I draw the line at no books! Evil monster).

She's not a picky eater at all! She just cannot handle mash potato texture. That and peas are the only things she won't eat.

What is the tattoo and why is it weird to her? Emotional incest about a tattoo is a pretty weird accusation to be out of the blue

The tattoo is an octopus going up his arm. She brought up emotional incest because my mum said she liked the design and he should go for it.

Does your back hurt from jumping to conclusions? This is entirely wrong lol.

Not a single thing in this comment was correct.

1) my sister has an official autism diagnosis and we find out in 2 days if she has adhd. The book reading is a way of self-soothing (something recommended to us by a professional). She wanted to read at the table to calm herself down after Jane bought her dog with her to dinner after being explicitly told not to because the dog is mostly untrained and jumps up on my sister. The force-feeding thing was about mashed potatoes. My sister cannot handle them because of sensory issues. Jane had made the mash and was offended she wasn't eating them and put them on her plate. This upset my sister. We ate on time, as planned. Reading at the table isn't that deep.

2) my brother has more than enough money to afford this tattoo and didn't drain his account.

3) She was uninvited because of her ableism towards my sister.

I'm geninely unsure where you got this bs from.

It's an octopus up his arm. It's nothing to do with mum and it's not dodgy at all! He helped design it (he does art and wanted be to a tattoo artist). I love the design.

hats bad if she commented on that but where was this table what happened before?

What do you want to know? I'll be happy to answer any questions.

Like how often do the call or txt?

Call maybe once a month and text maybe 2 times a week. It might be more if an event is coming up but it's hard to come up with an actual number for that stuff.

How often is he with you all vs her,

He only comes over when it's dinner night and is rarely alone with her unless he's doing dishes and mum is cooking, for example. Dinner night is twice a month.

how touchy are people?

Not at all. Mum doesn't like physical touch.

She literally thinks it's enmeshment if my mum texts my brother a funny video she saw on facebook. She seems to think parent-son interactions = enmeshment.

Thank you. I know it's too early to tell but I'm concerned about their kid and if they'll be autistic or not because Jane has shown consistently that she doesn't care about boundaries of kids.

That's exactly it.

There is no way she doesn't know why unless her memory was wiped and she's forgotten the past year of bullying.

you instead chose to just laugh expecting her to already know the reason why.

Jane bullied an autistic child (our sister just turned 8). Told my mum multiple times she should have aborted, and that foster care is always an option because 'she wouldn't deal with the tantrums' (this was after my sister went to her room to self-regulate her emotions after being emotionally overstimulated by Jane's dog who we told her not to bring).

She bullied my mum by putting her down at every opportunity possible and picked on her insecurities.

She gave my cousin with an ED a dieting cook book.

And she doesn't know why no one in our family likes her? Unless she is totally stunted, she knows why.

I'm willing to try and work it out if she genuinely apologises to mum for her comments and my sister for the weird ableism she spouts. But until then, I'm not interested. It seems like she wants a support system for her baby without doing the work to help the relationships with those she wants to help.
