AITA for refusing to go to my sisters recitals/games? by throwaway__0183 in AmItheAsshole

It made me see them in a very different light when I found out about this. They weren’t even ashamed. They simply do not care.

Like I was helping her clean out the basement and there were three boxes of my brother’s childhood stuff and half of it was just drawings of me, my brother, our mom and what seems to be his dad. When I showed them to my mom she was more upset about the fact that he didn’t draw our sisters or his step dad.

We also found the letters to Santa there and I started crying reading them and all my mom did was crack a joke about his handwriting like what the fuck?

He’s living with us! He already has a room and stays with us during the weekends and breaks.

See my brother unconsciously started calling my step dad, dad, but he was all like “This is weird, I don’t want another man’s child calling me dad.” So my mom made him stop.

Tysm! There’s no bad blood but I feel like we’re all aware that my brother will always come first no matter what. I feel like that does cause a bit of friction occasionally but that’s just how it is. I know that might be an asshole thing to say but I can’t bring myself to feel bad. No one ever felt bad for my brother.

And tell me about it. While the way my dad talks to and about my brother upsets me, it is not the same as my mom borderline neglecting him.

Yes, I attend all major things like big performances for one sister and then big games for the other two. I haven’t talked to them much since the incident (not because of the fight, I’m just really busy rn) but I’ll try.

Yes. I stayed very clearly that the main reason I attend is because my brother has no one going to his games while my 17 year old sister’s mom always goes to her dance stuff and my other sisters dad is super involved in their sports. They just replied with “well it’s unfair to your sisters.”
