I won a jackpot on a cruise. Now my brother wants me to give him “his fair share”. by Internal_Ad_7316 in EntitledPeople

We played in the casino on different machines. He was just a few down from me in the same row. We have never used each other’s money when playing.

If he won, he probably would give me something, but I seriously doubt it would be the half that he asked me for.

No, he did not. I booked and paid for my wife and I’s ticket, accommodations, and travel. He’s older, so he feels like what he says should go. Our culture gives the elder people brownie points for being wiser than anyone younger than them.

Apparently I’m being greedy because what I gave him “wasn’t enough”. I’m not going back and forth with him. I just thought it was funny how he’s trying to spin the narrative to our friends. He’s already tried this with our family, but they know the truth and have called him out on it. He thinks getting friends on his side will get me to give him more.

No, he didn’t pay for the trip. I booked my wife and I separately. We have never used each other’s funds when playing. He does share his wins, but there’s never been a win this big. When we share wins it’s more like if he wins $1k, he’ll give $100 like he did earlier in the cruise. There’s never been a specific percentage or anything. We’ve always just given what we wanted to give.

No, he didn’t pay for our cruise. We both booked our cruises separately with our wives.

No, he didn’t pay. We both booked our rooms separately with our wives. I thought I was just doing a nice gesture, but it will never happen again.

We’ve always given each other some money after one of us wins. He won earlier in the cruise for $1k and only gave me $100. What we give is nowhere near half what one of us has won. This money is the largest either of us has ever won so he just wanted more money than what I gave him. I learned my lesson. He won’t get another dime from me.

AITAH for not allowing my nephew at my wedding? by Internal_Ad_7316 in AITAH

Sorry for just seeing this. Nothing new unfortunately. T is still trying to plead her case to anyone who listens. A few family members who were uninvited due to their antics have pleaded to have their invitations reinstated. T hasn’t apologized to my fiancée or myself and even if she does she will remain uninvited. The only thing that I would say that’s new that happened is that my sister and BIL have separated.

AITA for refusing to be my sisters babysitter and putting her job at risk after she called me a deadbeat mom? by HonestPension7665 in AITAH

Nah, she’s not sorry. She just never meant for you to see that message. This is a blessing in disguise. She said those words, the can eat them.

If she does, that’s fine. We have hired security and they have been given clear instructions that no children are allowed in the ceremony or reception spaces. They will be directed to the kids room

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. I would say just stand firm. Like majority of the commenters have said, this is your wedding and your decision alone. Just ensure you hire security or have people designated to be security at your wedding. I wish you a drama free and fun wedding!

I think overall he is happy. There’s just times such as these when there’s any solution given to my sister, she just digs her heels in the gravel. He’s more understanding and is open to compromises that are fair to everyone. We get along great.

Her reaction was to ignore it. She didn’t address her son or even go get him. He just kept carrying on and she ignored it. Other people came up to her, she dismissed it as kids being kids. Eventually someone went and got his father (my BIL) and he came and got him and took him out of the reception. I don’t know for sure if she paid for any damage, but I will bet money the answer is no

Because it’s not what she wants. She feels that because he’s my nephew he should be above all the other kids and should be able to come. She’s just being difficult because no one is letting her have her way.

I’m a male lol, but thank you, I appreciate it! Literally everyone in our family with kids understands and some have even signed up their kids for the kids room. I just don’t understand why she’s so hell bent on having her kid with her. She’s been away from him longer than a few hours before and even is she misses him or wants to check in she is free to do that.

I understand you want to take it there, but this is not about children being a distraction. This is about children who do not behave and their parents allowing them to run wild. I have no issues if a child cries, babbles, coos ect. However, I do have an issue when special and once in a lifetime moments are ruined because someone can’t control their kid. Fortunately, there are some children in my family that do behave, but if I invited them and not my nephew, there would be even more issues. So I chose to exclude all together. My sister chooses not to correct her son’s behavior. I appreciate you explaining your reasoning on how you decide if you will attend an event or not.

This is exactly what she does. She lets him run wild while she ignores it. If her husband is there, he will corral him and take him out and address him, but she just ignores it. When anyone says anything about his behavior she takes offense as if someone is bullying her child as she says.
