Being a parent is a hard job. But when one partner takes on the brunt of the work while the other partner shirks their responsibilities, it can be incredibly frustrating to witness. This is the situation one woman found herself in when she stayed with her sister and brother-in-law for six weeks while her home was being renovated.
Her brother-in-law has four children with her sister and is expecting a fifth, and while her sister works full-time, he does next to nothing. When the woman called him out for his poor fatherhood at dinner, her brother-in-law was taken aback. Now he’s claiming she’s made him a laughing stock of his family but was the woman in the wrong for speaking up?

At a family dinner, a woman’s brother-in-law made an off-handed comment about how hard fatherhood is. She snapped and called him a ‘pathetic excuse for a man’ who makes her eight-month-pregnant sister do everything for their family. The sister thanked her for standing up for her, but her brother-in-law sent a nasty text saying she made him a laughingstock of the family. Did she go too far?
