Cancelled Surprise Holiday For MIL As She Called My Previous Gift Tacky r/Relaitonships

[@broken_queer_but_fighting8589]

I feel so bad for OP and the grandfather cause no one wants them in the family and that's so disappointing

[@sherrygibbs7547]

TBO, it sounds like the grandfather may be the only good one out of that bunch (family). Sounds like grandfather doesn't put up w/his daughters BS, which is why "she (OPs' exMIL) doesn't get along w/grandfather," and can't look after him. OP and grandfather sound like they have a good work/companion relationship. I hope OP will be okay, when it becomes grandfathers' time.

[@Davtwan]

In b4 grandfather leaves most of the estate to OP while leaving the rest of the family a dollar and a strongly worded letter.

[@annahorne6806]

It is always the caring people who take care of others. Like that in my life too. I couldn't take care of two people at once. My dad is now in a great care home. Best one I have come across.

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

I know right? It's very sad. The whole family sucks, but Just No MIL is easily the worst of the bunch! I think she along with that toxic family should disappear in a puff of smoke and never be seen or heard from again.

[@lifewithlee6298]

I noticed mom there in law didn’t want to take over grandpa care even if she accusing OP of abuse 😢

[@CanonSkyrissian]

if I've learned anything from these reddit stories, it's that if your in-laws dislike you and your SO puts little to no effort to mediate the situation, the relationship isn't worth the trouble

[@Alberto-wu1mj]

That is one of the biggest things I have learned as well. When the SO passively responds to the horrible in-law, they are saying you are not worth fighting for.

[@nejikath]

Honestly, after reading all these Reddit stories, I'm really glad that my MIL loves me and trusts her son to make his own decisions.

[@hadencross]

Pops is the real mvp of this story. He's willing to kick out blood and keep op because he is so grateful to op. Even the mother caught on. I bet you pops is gonna make sure op gets all his goals and even support any future relationships. Ex doesn't know what he gave up

[@persephoneszeliga]

Pop knows OP is the only one taking good care of him. Thank God.

[@katiecakesl4691]

When Pops passes and leaves everything to OP for being so good to him I am sure the family is going to lose their minds

[@sadtitties222]

Something also tells me that OP's ex will suddenly want to get back with OP and work on their relationship in order to get whatever Pops left OP. Hopefully, OP will kick him right out the door Fresh Prince of Bel Air style! 🤣

[@LT-hg7fc]

My guess is that Pop doesn’t have any money since OP is waiting to be paid for being his caregiver. Not sure how it works in Australia but in the USA the state doesn’t kick in unless there’s no money.

[@KiltBill2]

I wouldn't get hopes up that he'd cut off his family in the Will. Or that even if he changed it, that it wouldn't be challenged "because OP coerced a vulnerable old man". Personally, I'd have left. OP could be doing this into his 40s while Pops family move on.

[@ravenvixen7903]

​@@LT-hg7fc Centrelink (basically welfare) will pay someone for being a carer regardless, depending on how much care he does (so the fact he cares for Pop 24/7 and has to help with hygeine and everything means he'll likely get the max amount) that being said, aboriginals are very family based. If someone needs something and someone else has it, they share it. Phone, money, food, housing, anything really. So it is likely Pop wont have much, if anything, to leave behind, and he's also unlikely to have a Will as well.

[@idiotoninternet]

@@LT-hg7fcin Australia caregivers allowances are applicable even if the person being cared for has money, it’s if the carer has an income that impact it or not. It’s also unfortunately not a lot. I will say I was my mums carer for a long time and never got paid (I was too young to be eligible) but when my mum passed we didn’t really inherit anything just had stuff to pay off.

[@AndyyWithAY]

OP is better off broken up. I'm always wary when people say their partner is doing everything to put their family in their place, but they're still misbehaving. After everything in the last update, I believe OP grossly overestimated what his BF was doing to control his mom. If having to talk to your partner puts you in a bad mood, you definitely need to break up 🤣🤣🤣

[@lilfairykiki122]

Yea his bf was clearly no better than his mom judging by the update

[@awseven1144]

Yeah clearly the apple did not fall far from the tree in this case.

[@wmdkitty]

@@awseven1144 The horse-apple didn't fall far from the horse's ass...

[@WobblesandBean]

Exactly. OP even goes so far as to be the primary carer for his BF's granddad, and what does the BF do? Call him "lazy"? OP needs to grow a backbone and learn to recognize abusers like his ex. Thank goodness that conkwocket broke up with him because otherwise poor OP would have likely destroyed his entire future and mental health trying to do right by the abusive ex and his wretched mother.

[@ikmalhaikal2230]

Yup. I knew the BF wasn't doing enough for OP when his mom's behaviour keep escalating and there wasn't any mention of him sticking up for OP. OP was taking care of someone who wasn't relative to him and the least he could do was stood up for him immediately and he couldn't be bothered.😒

[@kp2223]

The fact that the mother in law immediately contacted OP to ensure that pops would be taken care of is very telling

[@kerribottriell-baxter7345]

yep

[@sammieh9695]

It's because the racist b would rather have white boy taking care of pop than end up doing it herself

[@paulastiles5507]

OP needs to hold onto all of those texts and such for when Pops dies and the family tries to sell this narrative that OP unduly influenced Pops and kept him from them.

[@ForbiddenFish]

Right? So pathetic.. "Yeah, like.. you know, I really, really really hate you and I wish you were dead, but... can you keep taking care of Pops?"

[@joimumu]

I’m kinda hopping Pops is loaded and that Op get what he deserves

[@AndyyWithAY]

There's petty and there's accusing someone of abuse. BF's mom is out of line for that. False allegations need to receive consequences. BF should have immediately called his mom out for that.

[@arckelios6950]

After the last update im thinking that it was the ex the one that called and made the false allegations to get rid of him.

[@poohbear4515]

EX is a pitiful asshole that is probably far up his mommy’s ass that he will never learn how to be a “real” adult. Pops sounds like he’s a great person for OP, who probably needed him as their rock in all that craphole.

[@joimumu]

People that make false allegations need to serve a jail time before they makes it harder to real victims if the authorities are spending time and money in the wrong places

BF's mom is so out of pocket. She had the nerve to tell BF for OP not to buy her cheap 💩 from Target. OP has repeatedly tried to get thoughtful gifts. Classic FAFO and you love to see it 🙌🏾🙌🏾

It's the BF's job to sort it out his side of the family though. If he doesn't that relationship is gonna fail unless they stand in solidarity. No way is my family treating any of my friends/lover/guests so indecently.

[@Russman67]

Mom said not to get her anything. OP gave her nothing. That's not even petty. That's following the request.

[@floramanzano4503]

"Cheap from target" = a $100 green agate necklace and two custom made artisan candles smelling like her hometown. Bro, what a Knob. Like op in that first story I often like to give and receive gifts that are tied to a personal like regardless of it being cheap.Heck i LOVE target, and was able to find a cute outfit I like there and brought it using a gift card I got as a gift.

[@ChrisAndCats]

Jewellery can be hard to get right - I think some really expensive stuff looks terrible, not worth the money etc - but that said, you are gracious about it and if there's a need to change something - allergies, size, etc, then you do that graciously too. I always try to get things suited to a person's interests and preferences, and it sounds like OP tried to do that too, and was very thoughtful.

[@jennysmith38]

Sounds like the trash took itself out,poor OP. Not only did he have to deal with a racist,vindictive MIL but in hearing about the ex boyfriend's antics in the 2nd update sounds like the apple didn't fall too far from the tree,he sounded controlling to boot. Pop however is awesome for letting him stay and be a caregiver,here's hoping he finds happiness with this course he's taking along with his newfound freedom.

[@sammieh9695]

And he realizes his true value and never gives the ex a 2nd chance

[@CarinaCoffee]

It sounds like OP is such a caring and thoughtful person who unfortunately doesn't have many people that got his back. I'm glad he and Pops are sticking together.

[@SailorMya]

YIKES! MIL is fine with abusing OP because she knows he wont leave while with her son but the moment they break up she is groveling to not have to take care of Pop! LOL how the tables have turned AND he doesn't have to get her a gift or be nice to her anymore! LOL Take that report and shove it because YOU are next in line if OP leaves!!! LOL ETA: Is it just me or doesn't the boyfriend's "reasons" to break up sound like he was spoon fed them from his mother's book? I suppose when your mother is constantly complaining about your SO some of that resentment is bound to rub off but it truly feels like the mother again...

[@Seradaluna]

Being a caregiver is a tough job it drains you emotionally physically and mentally. Some families appreciate what you do, others think they can boss you around. It's not for the feint of heart for sure, especially when they pass away. You try to not get attached but when you see this person every day it's hard not to cry when they are gone.

[@AndyyWithAY]

TBH if a partner told me I hate having to talk to you every day I'd just laugh and say I respect the honesty. Too many people in the world to waste time on someone who doesn't see how great I am. It's never worth it to change who you fundamentally are or beg for someone who doesn't want you

[@lilfairykiki122]

Op is better off without the wacko bf and his wacko mother. His bf was a lot more like his mother than op originally realized. Also reporting him for elder abuse would have only hurt the grandpa in the long run and mil was so selfish she didn’t care as long as she got to “win”.

[@rylashadow18]

S1) She spat in the gift horse face and got the kick in the reality she so deservingly needed. So the only one worth caring about was pop's and ex proved the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Mom calling to literally beg the OP to stay was priceless. That monster didn't want to pay someone is what she was really concerned about. Toss everyone but Pop's and take time to heal. If Pop's is able to make sure he has everything lined up legally. Vultures always seek the right time to strike afterall.

[@averycheesypotato]

That last story- yeesh! Nobody wants to care for the grandfather, but he seems like the only decent one in the whole family

[@TsukiKageTora]

The second point of why the fiancé broke up with him is literally his fault. Who complains about their partner flirting and when they stop flirting does a “you don’t find me attractive anymore!”. Blegh, people like that are walking on double edge swords and eggshells. Either way, that guy did him a favor, he doesn’t need an MIL who literally took his gift giving as a reason to file a false allegation to destroy his livelihood.

[@helenlewis2510]

Tossed the ex and kept Pop sounds like a win to me

[@artistwithawanderingeye908]

Ex can stay with mommy since he wants to listen to her. OP gained a grandfather after this

[@dreamart3395]

Story 1 ... My mother in law rode a broom. The old witch with a capital "B" disliked me immensely despite my constant and continued efforts to be kind to her. Her own daughters didn't treat her as well as I did. One Christmas I bought her an expensive pair of white Nikes with pink trim and laces. She opened her gift, took one look and immediately became angry. She simultaneously shouted they won't fit and threw the shoes at me. I took the shoes back and got her a gift certificate. From then on I had my husband buy all her Christmas and birthday gifts. I was done. (BTW ... the shoes were the right size).

[@LunaP1]

I'm starting to think the real reason her daughters mistreat her is for the same shitty behavior you experienced.

[@WobblesandBean]

Why did you stay with a man who let his mother treat you like that?

[@fantasticmrfox9291]

Story 1. I can't be the only one that thought those gifts were straight out of a romance, if I were mil I'd be saying 'I do' before I remembered who and where I was. I'm pretty good at spontaneous gifts but terrible with thought out ones, those were next level

[@Resilient_Sage88]

I'd be so happy if someone basically commissioned candles to smell like my childhood. That woman is a piece of work but so is her son apparently. Who says that kind of hurtful stuff when you know objectively it's not true.

[@ApricotStone]

Op says his bf’s mom isn’t homophobic and is a huge advocate for the lgbtq+ community, but I’ve heard so many stories of parents being supportive until it’s their own children who come out. And there’s a lot of cases where even if they’re supportive of their kid saying they’re gay, they get bad once their kid starts bringing around same sex partners even if they don’t realize it. I’d love to know what happened at that first meeting that didn’t go well

[@Ohkay5613]

Right. They talk the talk, but they don't walk the walk once their gay kid brings home their gay partner to meet the parents. That's when the parents behavior screams what they truly feel about LGBT relationships.

[@angierucinski5694]

Well, that was a twist in the tail!! Thank goodness it's all working out well for OP though, they deserve so much more than the crap that's been thrown their way by The toxic Mother & Son duo.

This is my post! Hi!! I just made this account to say thank you for making this, I had a comment send me here to see it. Your voice is so perfect for readings I ended up listening to the whole thing. Embarassing that I said me and my ex would be together for a long time in the first post 😬

The audacity of the ex and his mother to rely on OP and at the same time insult him for the things they should be doing themselves is incredible. Props to OP with a bright future without them.

It took me a moment to realise that the background is the Marina Bay Sands! That was a surprise, also sending love from Singapore here!

In my head they were a nice loving couple that update broke my heart

Wow, the only person worth a damn in the partner's family is the old man. I hope he does kick out OP's ex.

Bf mom was blatantly racist. Ex bf sucks and I'm so glad pop is lucid and understands who actually cares about and for him. Everybody in this story really sucks except op and pop, I hope op enjoys his course and the ex ends up living with mommy dearest

From the earliest I can remember, I was told to say "thanks, it's just what I wanted"/" thanks I love it", what is wrong with that woman?
