Daughter-in-Law Blocked Me from Grandkids So, I Cut Her Financially & Now She Can't Keep Up With...

[@thalleshoward3962]

The problem is Jake. He is the one who letting his wife get away with it. He needs to put his big boy pants on.

[@iamhector24]

Any time I hear “and the kids had to go to public school” I always gasp *oh no*.

[@johngeo5816]

It's not even that big of a difference, I've been moving around public and private school and the only difference is that private school kids and the teachers are arrogant pricks

[@terramarini6880]

Because mom spent their fees on posh creams and designer handbags... No sympathy. Boys will do fine in public school if they apply themselves and grandma will make sure they can go to any school they want with the cash she used to give their parents. They aren't stupid, they see mom for who she is and what she's doing. They hear her talking smack about grannie with friends, one has already starting sneaking calls, the penny has dropped, they know. The relationship will resume when they are older and mom can't stop them. It's going to be a rough couple of years but it will be okay.

[@Mehp2]

I can’t feel bad for Jake. Just divorce her.

[@dracodarkheartgaming2357]

He is such a pushover.

[@BlueFire728]

Jake is a spineless loser. His kids will hate him for it.

[@rogueshark23]

His wife is a golddigger

[@επιθετικόακτινιδιο]

My first thought. He is a complete loser. Also, I am having a hard time to believe that Sarah keeps spending while their children switched to public school. Instead of trying to guilt trip OP, she can find a f work

[@davidnash8208]

Right - divorce her. Then this will happen: - most he will get to see his kids would be three days on, three days off. More likely, every other weekend and one weekday a week. - spousal support - child support - extra-curricular activities, holidays etc. she gets the house, he is reduced to a basement apartment with a beater of a car.

[@aidanthornton173]

Either jake has been emotionally abused into compliance. Or he's just a spineless coward.

[@cagtbd]

Sometimes it's about the stupidity of not wanting to lose the children or not wanting them to live in a "broken" marriage by living with one parent instead of the couple. People don't realize it's a better example set to divorce and do your best for the children instead of taking on an abusive relationship because you teach them to submit to the nonsensical partner.

[@ralphgaver7071]

Yeah she needs to cut off the support this is ridiculous

[@rachelmap100]

Here's a response OP can send Sarah "You 'put me in my place' and now The Bank of Mom is closed. Get a job."

[@MichelleAyotte]

If I were OP I'd tell Jake and Sarah, "Until I'm allowed to see my grandsons again the bank of Mom is now closed and you won't get another penny from me. " If it's legal where they live, OP also might look into consulting a lawyer and sue for grandparents ' rights to get visitation rights granted.

[@vidaapplebee8388]

Sarah, get a job!! Op is doing the right thing.

[@YouTubeChannel-ru8ed]

OP’s son is either being emotionally abused along with the kids or he’s just a doormat. Sarah is the biggest problem and Jake is being a doormat

[@articradios]

omg, jake allows sarah to keep buying all of their (their as in talking about sarah's things) things while sarah claims they don't have enough to do a birthday party? what a shit show, jake should just end the marriage

[@SpaceTales88]

Jake might be too kind for his own good, but at some point, I feel like he has to draw the line. If you can buy things but not afford the basics, something’s off. 🧐

[@tobiasnivalis2655]

​@SpaceTales88 He's not too kind. His spine is made of jello.

[@articradios]

@@SpaceTales88 exactly, jake's just an amazing guy

[@laustpeternielsen-norman9569]

Instead of just giving them money, she could have paid for the boys' school directly. But jake needs to grow some😂

[@xuey0uth]

No, thats enabling them

[@tobennaokoli4450]

How can you as the FATHER say someone else has the FINAL say when it comes to YOUR children. Even if it is your wife, you have 50% in put. A father who doesn’t use it is a weak father and you can’t confuse me otherwise.

[@TheShadowSentinel]

He's a spineless worm.

[@tobiasnivalis2655]

It's surprisingly easy for those, like the OP's son, who would be shocked that they had a spine is if it came slithering out of them.

[@BW022]

A few things OP can do... 1. Forget an apology. Even if she gets one, it will be fake. 2. Block Sarah's phone, email, and all social media. Stop talking to her and just only speak to your SIMP son. 3. Give your son the name of a divorce lawyer and tell him the only support you are willing to offer is to pay for any legal costs should he decide to divorce her. Give that they are bankrupt, this is probably the best time to do it. Drop one of the jobs, maybe see a therapist for your 'mental breakdown', etc. and you'll probably come out of the divorce as best you can. 4. If things are that bad, offer that the boys come and live with you until they sort themselves out financially.

[@susanmullen7398]

Cut the funds

[@TheIronwil]

Why does OP’s son physically come to her house to pick up a monthly assistance check? That’s bizarre.

[@carlofthekey7288]

It may just be an excuse to visit. My parents owned the house my sister lives in and she makes payments on it. They drive over to get the checks and visit with her for a bit.

[@rayxav]

These stories have moved to a trend of the OP not wanting to engage the antagonist online, but how hard would it have been to simply hit back with: If YOUR immediate family is struggling, where are you working now? While the kids are in school, have YOU gone out to attempt to stabilize your expenses with additional income? Is it confrontational? Of course. But does it take the wind out of the sails of a few if not most of the antagonists’ flying monkeys? Yes!

[@terramarini6880]

My only reply would be... Get a job.

[@anthonyburke5656]

Tend to agree, bottomline is your first responsibility is YOU, let Sarah go, it’s sad but until Jake grows a pair it’s a lost cause.

[@horvslvpercal5134]

I love how Sarah said "youre spoiling the kids" Like, girl, that's literally the role of a grandmother. As in, those moments where a grandma or gramdpa hands you some dollars to spend with friends and tells you "don't tell your parents about it"

[@Joxman2k]

The more people in a childs life that love them the better.

[@NRD108]

Bruh just Bullshit. What is SARAH talking about ofcourse when I was younger I loved my grandma more. I wanted to spend more time at grandparents home. SARAH needs help

[@scarletspectre153]

i know right, with grandma and grandpa there were days to the zoo, amusmentparks, gifts, no school, no homework, little to no rules. going to grandma and grandpa's house was the child version of taking a vacation from work.

[@NRD108]

I know right. RIP spineless Jake. Just change your role and become housewife jake

[@Tim85-y2q]

A lot of kids go through a phase where they like the grandparents more because grandparents are often there for the fun things and not their for the "eat your peas" moments. That's entirely normal.

[@mykaelnyx8821]

HELL YEAH!!! Stop supporting that witch and your doormat son! They've kept you from your grandchildren for months before you decide to cut off financial support. I'm sorry your grandchildren might have to suffer but it's not your responsibility to take care of them, it's their own parents. I love how he calls the situation they're in a rough patch when it's been going on for several years!!

[@esafiri4663]

I hope that OP has left her assets to her grandsons when they become adults. I have a sense of foreboding about what her daughter-in-law or son might do to her... especially when they view her traveling as rubbing it in their faces. And if it isn't fair for OP to punish the boys for Sarah's behavior, why doesn't OP point out to Jake that it REALLY isn't fair for the boys to be punished for Sarah's behavior by Jake not intervening?

[@alexpaira8354]

Jake is a spineless husband

[@danacarter9147]

I agree with you 💯 %.

[@devilsfan23]

Jake, needs to make an ultimatum to his wife get a job or I’m divorcing you and 50/50 custody of the kids.Also good for OP for standing up for herself by not caving to them,Sounds like all she was to them was an atm.

[@DarthStarkiller55]

8:47 wtf just happened 😂😂😂

[@zodoseptora9158]

Fyra has this issue for the past couple of vids

[@josephhurst4902]

11:05, "instead of Understanding Jake got Defensive", No Duh, Jerk was a Unemployed Dead Beat sponging off his Mommy. And as long as you Paid he could Continue to Refuse to get a job and allow his wife to Mistreat you. NOW he understands the Free Ride is Over but he dont want the Free Ride to End. 11:35, "He said it isnt Fair to Punish the boys for Sarah's Behavior", But its Acceptable to Punish you? 16:46, So She is Still Spending his money like its Water, and Refuses to get a Job while her Children Suffer. I would Advise Son Divorce her since she dont care if he suffers while she Parties. 20:12, I would offer to TAKE the boys since he is so worried about the Treatment the boys are getting. Because if he really cared about "The Kids" then this would be acceptable, but lets face it, its not the Kids causing this issue, its his Entitled Wife.

[@iamhector24]

“Oh no had to cancel the birthday party!” #FirstWorldProblems

[@NoOneOutPizzasTheHut]

Kids being effected ,while Sarah buying luxury clothes and fancy skincare ? The audacity.....

[@cassidytucker4472]

Take them to court and get visitation rights.

[@patfix5125]

No grandparent visitation rights in US

[@nonombre5409]

The one who spends the most time with the child will have control over them. Not helping financially will also help with the separation from the family. Don't think you are depriving the children because you have no parental rights.

[@WTC-1990]

Jake needs to put his woman in her. He needs to take her access to the bank account cause she clearly can't be trusted and give her an allowance of $200 a week for groceries and that's it

[@lesleycrowther-scott1809]

You get us to it. I was disown 0 years ago yes it hurts but you survive,

[@ciprianoneves7246]

OP legally she cannot do that…..Get a lawyer granny.

[@DCD762]

When a man doesn't stand up to his wife and allows her to behave as she wants she loses all respect towards him. Women don't respect dootmats, they use them as ATMs until they find something better

[@suewashere]

Disney 3 months ago, but hasn't seen them for 9 months?

[@juliel5945]

Jake isn’t very bright if he can’t cut off access to the money his wife keeps spending.

[@vivianmiller2554]

Jake is a spineless doormat

[@ogieoglethorpe3788]

sarah..........you are banned from my kids lives me.................you are banned from my wallet forever

[@ptabz3112]

Too much narration. The story is being stretched too much

[@LODintheshadows]

So she's bragging how she put op in her place, then begs for money in an email 😂 like you want my help, an actual apology, and I'm allowed to see the kids again, some sort of contract involved too, since she can't be trusted

[@louisburland5346]

Rather than begging for subs up your game, there is a lot of competition out there mix it up a bit! Ur channel is solid but you can’t afford to stagnate

[@Alexander0108.]

Add shorts to pull more people in

[@davidnash8208]

Blame Jake and call him names. But he is up against bias against men in family court. If he divorces her, then this will happen: - most he will get to see his kids would be three days on, three days off. More likely, every other weekend and one weekday a week. - spousal support - child support - extra-curricular activities, holidays etc. she gets the house, he is reduced to a basement apartment with a beater of a car.

[@georgeluthy6512]

Come right out and ask why daughter in-law doesn't like grandma

[@clwxrf6007]

Sarah should have gotten a job when the boys became old enough for school.

[@TMac12341]

Jake and his wife are so entitled.

[@Lilshywolfswag]

Sarah in this story pisses me off 🤦🏻‍♀️. If the grandma got to see the grandkids at least once or twice a month then she would probably still be helping with the bills. & rather than apologize or take accountability, or get a job to help with the finances problem, Sarah was basically buying expensive unnecessary 💩, trying to make the grandma the villain to everyone for cutting them off & also trying to use the kids possible suffering to guilt trip the grandma into helping them I wouldn't help them if i never got to see my grandkids either 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@terramarini6880]

I actually don't understand it at all, the woman helps pay their bills essentially funding Sara's top shelf existence and loves spending time with the kids and taking them on vacations giving her/hubby free time... I too, would love her more...wtah? Girlie is spinning whole cloth from thin air. wow.

[@shiiuo]

OMDG what a looser son

[@scottiefutch6073]

What an absolute piece of crap useless failure of a man. "Sarah has the final say." Based on what? All the money she doesn't bring in the house? The fact she had an immaculate conception? Apparently the last one must be the case, because that's the only reason I could see for a husband and father to act like he has no say over his kids. What you do is, you take the kids to see grandma, and if Sarah doesn't like it, she can get over it.

[@susanmullen7398]
