That wasnt stupidity that was malicious

And marriage is supposed to be the ultimate goal towards happiness. More like weaponizing hypergamy.

Why would you throw a wedding if you want other people to pay for it?! It hurts me that people think others should pay for their stuff

Sounds like a Impregnation fetish

Not your job but damn you can atleast try for her sake

The son was right but so unfortunate

Americans lmfao

That’s insane

Why does she sound like a man

She is. Its Spanish of course there gonna use there Spanish name.

nah, fuck that teacher. Just because there are foreign variants of similar names does NOT make them the same name. If someone has trouble pronouncing a foreign name, that's one thing, but if someone is fully capable of pronouncing someone's natural name, then they should do so out of respect.

Bro all i have to say is to NOT use the welding clips for the stories feels like a literql flashbang

Get an emancipation

I'm with you! What about Emily? And why hasn't your nephew intervened with Jeff on Emily's behalf?

Soooo, they think you be mean to your daughter instead? Next thing you know they’ll start saying boys will be boys. Boys are like that because no one puts them in their place and tells them what’s right from wrong.

Does the rest of the family know what Jeff does to Emily and how he targets her? Might be time to have a sit down with everyone and get everything out in the open. Maybe OP and Emily can just go on their own vacation if everyone else still insists on going with Jeff

Dont take your daughter on the family trip ...they should protect her from the bully boy Jeff

Have people forgotten what responsibility is? All I can say is “as you make your bed you’ll have to lie in it” the sister knew about the husbands drinking yet she choose to stay with him and now she has to face the consequences of her choice (staying behind at the air port) the one who left and went home had nothing to do with the situation, maybe could have taken the kids with them on the flight so they wouldn’t have to see their father drunk (again) but that all depends on how old the kids where, but it’s not an obligation to take them with on the plane

Who cares about his home life. He is a bully big time. Protect you child at all cost. Forget your lousy family that doesn't put family first and they know. NO WAY.

Tell your family that it's so nice of them to prioritise s9me random kid instead of their own family and it just shows their character.

Yeah no. Jeff may have a rough home life but it's no excuse for his blatant cruelty and assault towards Emily! Emily deserves to feel safe on a family trip! Rough life or not he should not have been invited!

Family comes first! But clearly your daughter is not family to your family so go NC!!! YOU SISTER IS A GIGANTIC.......A ..........

wait, he's supposed to sacrifice his daughter so that little jeff can get better? and his sister also supports her son's friendship with this bully. at this moment i no longer have a family. and what does she do when dear little jeff starts bullying her own son? i've already experienced everything. and then i laughed heartily. KARMA BABY KARMA😁

Sounds like he might be jealous of your daughter and or your relationship, since he has a rocky home life. He may feel emboldened to terrorize your daughter since he seems to be getting away with it

Why is a non family member coming on your trip?

Your parents and siblings are behaving as if they hate and despise you and your daughter. Otherwise why else would they care, love and favour the nephew's best friend no matter what. Go extremely low contact with your parents, siblings and nephew until they understand, prioritise and value you and your daughter. Just because the kid's parents are getting divorced it doesn't give anyone the right to bully and harm themselves and others.

Tell mum to fix her mess. She mess up in bringing Lisa up.

If I had a daughter like that that was being treated that way that boy is very lucky

Where's the rest of it?

Bro, you better post the rest of that story...

You are not being mean to Jeff. You are protecting your daughter!! Excellent Dad!! Helping Jeff is not your responsibility. Protecting your daughter is your responsibility. I’d say your priorities are in perfect order.

Ehhh. She should have taken the daughter in but at the same time fire alarm means possible fire.

"Hurt people hurt people" No, they just are looking for an excuse to bully. Ops sister is horrible.

What's wrong with putting a backpack in a toilet and pulling someone's hair? If you can't stand getting your hair pulled somethings wrong with you.

Update: Hi, everyone, I hope you’re good. I have an update/resolution that I figured I’d share, though truth be told it’s a bit anticlimactic! Before I start, I wanted to say thank you for anyone who put in their two cents. I appreciate all of the comments, though I got overwhelmed with attention very quickly! I’m sorry if any questions remained unanswered; there were a lot of comments. I am still trying to maintain some anonymity, but I am happy to answer any questions that don’t impede on that! Night before last my three siblings, their spouses, and my parents all gathered at my sister’s house to talk this through. I, very immaturely, sort of walked in with a mild attitude. I knew I wasn’t going to change my mind, I felt like this was a waste of time, but my daughter keeps expressing to me how badly she wants to go on the trip, so I went. It started off with my sister and my mom crying and just asking me to go but that got shut down really fast by pretty much everyone else. My sister expressed that she just felt so bad for Jeff. Again, he’s lower class with a mother who treats him like a baby and a father that doesn’t care. She mentioned that Jeff and Emily have been polite to each other in the presence of family, and figured they were getting over their "issues". I did find out that the waiver he was on extended to his tuition, despite being told that it was for his uniforms and school supplies, so my apologies on an incorrect comment I made. Regardless, she was trying to convince me and my entire family to allow Jeff to come. I really do get it, and I am a person who can experience empathy, sometimes to a fault, but for the millionth time, my empathy towards Jeff and his situation does not overpower my need to protect my daughter. As her only parent, it is literally my duty to make sure she is safe, and this is not safe. Thanks to a comment, I did say "My daughter does not feel safe around Jeff," to which my brother in law, the sister in question’s husband, replied "well that settles it." The only adult who wanted Jeff to go was my sister. The only people who wanted me to compromise and go and ignore Jeff were my mother and sister in law. Everyone else was adamant that Jeff did not go. No one knew he was invited, and it wasn’t until I sent in the group chat that I would not be attending because of Jeff’s presence that anyone, including my sister’s husband, knew Jeff was going. My father, who is actually a therapist, has been ridiculously supportive through this whole thing. He explained his reasonings for not wanting Jeff there besides the obvious. Most notably and as many others, including myself, have pointed out, he started bringing up the subject of SA. My nephew mentioned to him that Jeff does like Emily, and if his mindset is as dysfunctional as we are led to believe, he’s not currently capable of expressing that to Emily in a healthy way, which could lead to him attempting to SA her. (Note: My sister tried to I-told-you-so me about the crush but I literally laughed at her. I really honestly don’t care if he has a crush on my daughter. He’s so awful to her. She takes it like a champ, she holds her head up high, and I’m so proud of her for that, but that doesn’t change the fact that Jeff has been so sincerely awful to her that it makes me sick.) It was ultimately decided that Jeff was not going. Thanks to another comment I saw, I did tell her that she was doing a great thing by trying to help this boy, but her niece came before him in this situation. I brought up that Jeff might retaliate against Emily (again, thanks to another comment) for being disinvited, so we did come up with a plan, sort of. My nephew had to tell him at school the next day that Jeff was no longer invited because he didn’t want him and Emily to get into a fight. I thought that was a dumb plan, I’m not going to lie, but as long as the blame was off of Emily I didn’t care. We left for the night, both Emily and I hugged my sister, she apologized, it was generally okay. I’m still frustrated with her for trying to be this boy’s savior at the risk of my daughter, and we have yet to have that conversation, but I’m sure it will come with time. My mother told Emily that she was sorry for seemingly wanting to subject her to Jeff, and she didn’t mean to come off that way; she simply wanted us to come. I am still frustrated with my mom, but again, a conversation to come with time. I told my daughter not to get her hopes up, because part of me still didn’t believe that Jeff was really not going to go, but we proceeded with cautious optimism. In the meantime I spoke with my lawyer friend who did advise me not to go on the trip if Jeff was going, and not to speak to him or his parents directly. No problem there, I had resigned to not going and I had no interest in talking to anyone. Additionally, my sister’s husband and I had a long talk about how he was really disappointed in her for this. That’s not my business, but I was happy that he was still as fiercely protective of my daughter as I always thought he was. I have to give my nephew props, because he took the news well, although he was disappointed. He understands that what Jeff does is wrong, but I’m still not really sure why he puts up with it besides that he’s a teenager who doesn’t want to lose his friend. So, this leads us to last night. Emily shows me a message from my nephew that just says "so Jeff backed out lmao" and that’s it. Get this: Jeff didn’t know that Emily was going. My nephew went to tell him what was up and he got as far as saying "Emily is going to be there" before Jeff backed out. I spoke to my nephew who said Jeff just got weird and said he couldn’t go, and they left it at that. Jeff seemed disappointed, and I do feel sorry for him, but again, my daughter comes first to me. My brother in law only sent me laughing emojis. Initially I was still not sure if I’d go because a lot of comments suggested I should not go on principle. With that being said, my daughter said she’d rather go on this trip, even after I tried to suggest we do something else. So now we’re going. Yay. That’s really it. Sorry it’s so long, and I wish it was more exciting, but it is not. I tried to put emphasis on the conversation with my family because that was the important part, but even then we were just standing around my sister’s kitchen talking, no big confrontation or anything. Regardless, have a good day and a happy holiday season. Thank you for reading and for all the advice, I do appreciate it!

That’s is a my boy benzi situation

Is it a nephew or a daughter?

Who needs enemies with friends like Jeff

Her husband needs to divorce her immediately for abandonment. Mom is delusional and you're not to take care of them Dad needs to get daycare

Can we normalise not completely bizzare Reddit stories?

Oh and yeah don’t wish for people to go to hell.

Oh no for get that I’m suing the school and the parents forget his home life doesn’t give him a right to hurt someone else I bet he not going after others at are stronger then him.

That is a in rough situation to be in

Never wish someone would go to hell. Think of the worst thing a person could ever do. I promise he'll is worse. Especially worse than bullying. I would never wish someone to go to hell

We used to tar and feather people smh

I'm sure if this is true, only positive things could come from this situation.
