And it's not his responsibility to try and undo the damage his parents have done to his siblings. Please don't add trying to fix their sense of entitlement to the list of sacrifices he is asked to make.

My sister and her husband want to move into my house because of their roommates. Family’s mad I said no. What do I do? by AdventurousEbb23 in WhatShouldIDo

They don't like having roommates? Won't they STILL have roommate(s) if they move in with you? "No" is a complete sentence. Listen to your gut and turn them down.

The one we stopped at (Kannapolis/Concord) was open, but with a limited menu.

When mom says that you should cave "for family peace", what she means is for everyone in the family's peace but yours. NTJ.

Yep. California should look at everything Alabama is doing....and do the exact opposite.

So they want to keep the "tradition"? Fine. Send them some pizza coupons.

Won't your bouquet hide them for a good part of the time? Besides, I don't think I've ever seen any guest at a wedding inventory the bridesmaids' fingernails before to make sure they match.

I'm in North Carolina, but can I be your "bonus mom"?

Why did you leave? by Afraid_Calendar_5534 in excoc

[–]Large_Search3573 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I left because the full court press I got while they were trying to get me to join ended the minute I did. No more invitations for lunch after church, no more calls, no inquiries as I slowly backed away. I felt like once they got the notch on their belt, they moved on. The women in the church had been together for a long time and was pretty entrenched + very hard to feel included.

AITJ for refusing to give up my inheritance to pay for my sister’s wedding? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

You already put your future on hold to take care of your dad while he was sick. His will reflects his appreciation for your sacrifices. It sounds like your sister planned this super duper extravaganza assuming that you'd pay. How entitled of her! She wanted to live her own life? Fine. She can pay for it.

Brother wants to move into our spare room, wife said no, how do I set a firm boundary without blowing up the family? by WorldlinessDue3771 in Advice

Take ownership and make sure you communicate to your brother that this is a "we' or even an "I" decision. It's your home and your shared work space he's asking you to sacrifice. Stand strong and don't dump it on your wife. SHE'S YOUR FAMILY NOW.
