Uncle Kicked Out Niece And Fiancé After They Slept In Deceased Sons Room Without Permission AITA

[@justinjones-smith5168]

Story 1: NTA. You literally had one rule: Don't Go In Your Son's Room. They didn't listen, so you kicked them out.

[@janet6421]

But we didn't want to sleep on a mattress on the flor. What costs more 1 a thrift store/Walmart bedframe or 2 a month's rent + the goodwill of your uncle Some people. 🙄

[@lisemartino1854]

They had the use of a guest room - with a mattress! Now they can sleep on the street.

[@groofromtheup5719]

1 SINGLE RULE! they would be dead to me.

[@AdamaGeist]

@@lisemartino1854 With a mattress, on the floor. No box-springs. Something that OP knew about, knew was a problem to them, but did nothing to make their guest room more comfortable. I'm not arguing that OP's the asshole in this specific situation, but she is AN asshole for basically going 'Oh I don't actually care about the comfort of the people I host in my house'. All the arguments about if the niece could have bought a bed frame hits right against the fact that OP could have bought a bed frame as well. Because seriously, can you imagine that? Your guest room, which is there to have space for guests, has nothing more than a mattress on the floor for them to sleep on?

[@LupusArgentum]

At first I thought they were sleeping directly on the floor and was kinda torn, but then OP mentioned the mattresses and was like well there goes the only excuse they *might* have had...

[@amywilson9591]

"I want to spend time with my niece. That's not what babysitting is. You're asking me to be a caregiver full time and I can't even eat or get food." She wasn't acting like a sister. She was acting like a shitty person.

[@niyablake]

two things I think you left out . Father said it was the younger sister that kept him alive, ignoring his older sister.. They choose to pay for her half-sisters kindergarten, step moms kid and not for the older daughters college

[@SatinFoxx]

@@niyablake Kindergarten is nothing compared to college for cost, and is a parents legal responsibility to pay for it, if not homeschooling.

[@SatinFoxx]

[@marist6734]

Let's make it clear, OP wasn't even asking in the second story about being paid for babysitting but asking for the money she lost due to babysitting her niece.

[@owl7072]

Story 3: "Being with my five year old is the only thing that's kept me alive" so you allowed your wife to completely reject your oldest in her final moments even after she tried to be civil and respectful, and now you're saying the five year old is your only reason for living? Gee I wonder why the oldest moved out as soon as she could, sounds like she got shoved aside for the new family.

[@Mewse1203]

So from what i gather. OPs daughter thought college was paid for. Then Stepmom convinced dad to not pay for college to benefit the younger daughter. This was on top of already shitty behavior of dad and stepmom. Bad dad....no cookie.

[@dannietea]

The last OP could’ve made her reception a cookout with burgers and hotdogs and spent the money saved from not buying steaks and Italian sausage on a cake big enough for everyone there.

I've never actually heard of a wedding tier system! I mean I get that at certain ticketed public events there are tiers according to price but this isn't a ticketed affair, it's a wedding!!!!!!! These are friends and family that they've invited. I know how I'd feel if I went to a friend's wedding and found out that I was in the cheap tier. I never thought I'd say this but I agree with the MIL its definitely tacky.

[@15oClock]

1. "Don't do this". "I'mma do it anyway". What else were they expecting when they went into Connor's room? 2. "Family" doesn't pay the bills; jobs do. If the sister wants a live-in nanny, she needs to pay for one. 3. Grief isn't the best thing for admitting the awful truth. "Speaking ill of the dead" implies she's free from criticism. 4. You tip the wait staff for service, not your coworkers! Is OP a real life Ferengi? They'd probably fit. 5. Chris was a champ, but he shouldn't have needed to be.

Story 5 agreed... there are other ways to make a wedding more affordable. I've been to 2 teired weddings but they were run a lot differently... less close guests were invited to the ceremony and finger food after where the bride and groom could hug friends and chat for a bit before heading off for photos and then going to the reception with closer friends and family... its commonish in church circles but id never think what op did was ok... putting it in titanic speech here.... the '2nd class citizens actually have to mingle with and see what 1st class is getting and they’re missing out on'... also no one was saying this but i definitely think Mil was tacky for not contributing a dime to the 'not golden child' then complaining that they were cheap. Op didn't have an aunt/cousin/friend that can bake a few 'kitchen teirs'? That's what we did and when it was served with icecream all our guests noticed was the delicious the cake tasted... better than one of the professional ones at a wedding we attended (according to hubby, it did look nicely decorated though... I missed out on a slice at that wedding as I have gluten intolerance so i just have to go with what others said).

Sounds like me and my wife with our oldest son. He was killed in Afghanistan serving in the marines. In 2009 he was 24 years old. He joined the service at 18 and spent a few birthdays in war zones. When he passed he had just left back to service after his son was born. We left his SUV parked in our Barn and his bedroom was locked his mother and I would go in his room at different times and cry sometimes together if the other kids were not home. We had another son who had joined up as well at 17 when he graduated from school. He was super close to his brother and he refused to go near his room or his car when he was home but my youngest daughter was his heart and they were the tightest in the family she was little but he always did things with her. 2014 we decided that we needed to go ahead and move to a smaller house and lass land for me to care for. The baby got the keys and went into his room and she took pictures and a video she boxed up his clothes and toys from his childhood that he had in it. The house sold in a day but we kept the land around the house property with the farm property and barns. Around thanksgiving time we went up there for Turkey hunting. My son said that he would like to buy his brothers truck from him and he said that he would not like seeing it waste away in a barn. We pulled the rims and tires off of it and took them back to the city with us. I let my son talk with my wife about it. She told him that she had been upset that he had not asked for it before because she had a note from our son who had passed. She said that she didn’t want to be the one that opened it. Our son opened the letter and he started reading it to us and we both started crying. Hey little brother. If you’re reading this I guess I didn’t make it back. I am sorry I took off on y’all but I thought I knew what I was doing. Now it hurts me so bad to kiss mom and dad goodbye knowing I might not ever get back home. Look after our sisters for us and help my son know who his father was. Don’t destroy my truck. Lol but if you do take it. Your responsible for your little sisters first car. Love ya bro . Ps look in the back of my truck before Christmas I went shopping before I left and I forgot to put my gifts in the house. Well he had Christmas gifts for everyone . Bad part was they had been in the truck for a few years now so when we went back we looked and everything was wrapped. My wife took the gifts when we got home and they were there for our Christmas party on Christmas Eve. My grandson cried when he opened his gifts from his dad they were all baby toys and he was not a baby anymore. It was a great Christmas gift for us all. Please don’t touch things of parents who are grieving the loss of a child.

honestly for story 4, I think it was a really good idea. I know its kind of against what everyone else said but its a super fast, cost-effective, simple solution to push away half of your entire family! I don't know why people were so angry cause there is no way someone could be so dumb to think that segregating and degrading family members would make them want to stay, its a great way to lose most of your family AND take all the blame! Great! /s

[@ravenmagic5]

YAY MARK! YAY WAFFLES! Thank you so much for giving us all the time you do. You're wonderful!

[@kathy9444]

Hi Mark! Just wanna say I love your videos, they really help me through the day! I recently started listening to you on Spotify when I'm on the bus. You have a lovely voice and you sound like a great person, thank you!

[@MarkNarrations]

Aww thank you so much 😁

[@americanhoney3098]

Awesome start I feel so much energy like it's a new day. I LOVE IT MARK GREAT JOB MY DUDE.

[@Davtwan]

There’s frugal and there’s being a cheapskate. Guess where the aunt lies.

[@moimeself1088]

The thumbnail title says "diseased son". I was so confused! 😂

[@nathan8219]

Mark, bless your soul. You always make Mondays (which I hate) actually enjoyable. Bless you man.

[@addicted2mako]

Story 4 HAS to be a joke, because I can’t believe anyone could be that confused about why OP’s coworkers could possibly be mad at him for tricking them into giving him a two dollar “service charge.” What a douce canoe! YTA, and get ready for your coworkers to start charging you for things at the office like running copies

[@nukerwolf7788]

Story 4) soiling your own nest.. That's a new one I've heard "don't crap where you eat" but I guess that works

[@denisemcadams4045]

Story 1. NTA. They showed you zero respect. Too bad for them

[@MacTechG4]

The pub story; are you part Ferengi?

[@cheskydivision]

The wedding thing is bad. Have fewer things and everyone should get the same.

[@Shywest2010]

Listen at work So glad you put this out when you did

[@TsukiKageTora]

Second story: “you should want to spend time with your niece” And you should want to spend time with your daughter.

The Wedding Tier System: WTF? My family had very little money. My eldest sister got married, but we couldn't afford much so we had the service at the house. The wedding party consisted of the Bride and one Bride's Maid, the Groom and his Best Man, and the parents of both. There was no dress code, because the entire Groom's half of the wedding guests were farmers and this was July, prime farm time, and the weather was gorgeous . . . they would be going straight from wedding (and any part of the reception they wished to attend) to the fields. They all dressed in farm clothes to make it quicker and easier. Bride's side dressed in Sunday Best because we weren't going to the fields afterwards, but we made sure not to mention this difference and we socialized with all the guests. They were great people! The bride wore her former prom dress (which she had made) and converted it and my Aunt (not a baker or seamstress) made the veil and the wedding cake. We had baby pools filled with ice and a variety of canned and bottled beverages on a help yourself basis. The food was a set of buffet tables with sandwich and salad fixings, again help yourself. After the main group of guests left for work, the rest of us pulled out water guns and some of us took a drive instead of staying at the party. (We waited until the Bride and Groom had left before diving off - - I was one of the driving group). The honeymoon consisted of a week long stay in the local bed and breakfast, a gift from my parents since the Groom's side and the Bride and Groom couldn't afford anything. We still associate with some of them (it's been thirty odd years and many have died, sadly), and never once have we even heard whispers that we were tacky or cheap. Everyone got equal shares of the best we could afford. Heck, I think in the end everyone was just relieved that they weren't expected to take extra time from the fields or dress uncomfortably. My sister never seemed to complain about this (her baby shower later was conducted very similarly and she seemed perfectly content then, too.) How is a tier system acceptable? Just go a bit cheaper in food, etc. Brides who expect things for their special day that are above their budget are being irresponsible dreamers. If you can save the money up to do that, great, but if you can't, suck it up and lower the dream standards to real standards. And don't treat anyone as less than anyone else!

[@brokenrabbitsfoot]

I love listening to your videos while doing chores or even just vegging at the house.

[@shebakoby]

tiers of food at a wedding? So, so very tacky. Also YTA.

[@AaaaNinja]

"I bet OPs Facebook bio says he's an entreprenuer" that was epic lol.

[@CallofTheCult]

Never heard someone sound so excited on a *monday*

[@ghostsapphy6456]

Story 4: imagine if you used the same budgeting system on your kids. If you’re going to budget, then just have a set dinner that everyone can enjoy that won’t blow your budget without feeling very left out.

[@NaibSubedar]

Hey Mark thanks for uploading daily. Your cheery mood always makes me happier every single day. Anyway keep being awesome :)

[@charleshelm79]

Story 4: NTA that was classic. Good for him or her.

[@MariaPaz-mo6eh]

Lol thank you for all the hard work you’ve been putting in to these video!! We’ll see you in 👏👏👏👏👏 the next one 😁

[@Arthus850]

Story 3 hits me so hard, especially after hearing the comment about how old OP is compared to his wife. It hits me hard because that happened to me. My mom divorced my dad because he had huge anger issues. He’s always of the opinion that even the smallest problem has some kind of bigger meaning, and that makes him escalate the conflict into full on shouting. My mom left, and immediately after, he married a woman who was only two years older than me (I was 22 at the time, making her 24, and my dad was 67). And we all saw that she was a gold digger, in it for the money, but she would often using her “hard life” and her 4 year old daughter as leverage to emotionally manipulate him into thinking she genuinely needed the money, so he just couldn’t see it, nor would he listen to me, my mom, or anyone in our family. Needless to say, nobody was on his side. But due to her emotional manipulation, he was ready to disown me and everyone in our family for being “against *him*”. We were trying to save him, but he seemed to think we didn’t care about him at all. But in the end, he had a stroke that left him slower than he used to be. He finally saw her for what she was when she seemed more concerned about the fact that he wasn’t sending her money anymore than his actual health. She even accused him of faking his illness and paying the doctors to give a fake diagnosis. So in the end, he finally saw the error of his ways, she was thrown out, and we were able to be a family again.

[@2cutenva]

Love your channel, thank you for the stories!!

[@fcold9402]

2. NTA. Tell her the price of your babysitting service and your hours of operation and the amount of your overtime pay. Or, and this is the better choice, say "no" and stop babysitting. Certainly do not let this affect your actual job.

[@josephbrown9665]

Burger and hotdog guy should have only had hotdogs and burgers. Yeah they should have made cupcakes as well and formed them into a cake.

[@UzumakiDonnoHinata]

S1 NTA. He set boundaries and they violated them. He did them a favor and they walked all over it. It could have been the bedroom or not refilling the TP when they use the last of it. It doesn't matter. It's still a broken boundary. Give op some time to grieve, yeesh. S2 NTA. What is with the choosing beggar cameos today? What an entitled parent. "Spending time" is a far cry from babysitting. Op is gonna lose their job if this keeps up. S3 YTA. I get op is grieving, but wow. There's a massive disparity between how the older and younger are treated. Bad bad. S4 YTA. They went expecting to pay the SERVER. Not you. You know, paying them to do their job. That's opportunistic and manipulative. Not on. Also as a US native I love learning British terms and slang! I've picked up a lot from both TV and you, and regularly confuse people by telling them I'm skint. It's accidental, but it would be a lie if I said I didn't find it amusing lol. S5 ESH. When you rank your friends and family, you have to be prepared for them to find out they're literally second rate to you. I understand wanting to save money, but they're there to celebrate with you. If everyone got the same burgers and hot dogs, no one would be pissed about what someone else got. Spend the money you saved on that on more cake. MIL shouldn't have caused a scene, though. Justified to be upset, but idk I don't like scenes like that, involving innocent bystanders by proximity. So ESH.

[@Resilient_Sage88]

Story 4 kinda gave me"just no mother in law" vibes just a bit, I agree ESH but it's just plain rude the way she treats her son and DIL.

[@LaineyBug2020]

I love Mark's Oh FFS moments!

[@buglover6000]

mark your videos are the best! i wasn’t having too good of a day and this definitely brightened my day up :)

[@TarisLuna]

Story 1 NTA OP put one simple rule and they broke it and that's it. If the rest of the family has a problem with them, then it's definitely something in their side that's off.

[@KaxigaLexi24]

Listening while drinking coffee, eating too many sweets and being worried for my cat. Had to take her to the vet urgently yesterday for vomiting blood. She's home and seems ok, but have barely eaten anything since last night. I'm worried sick!

[@songohan3321]

In story 3, no matter how you felt, it is best to say nothing and keep it to yourself. If you really thought that someone is going to validate your opinion now of all times then you're grossly mistaken. The oldest daughter has a right to feel how she did but she decided not to feel the atmosphere and she told out loud what she thought and was suprised that it didn't go over like she wanted to.

[@susankaempfer8427]

15:25 😂 2$ to fetch them drinks? Lol

[@rylashadow18]

Today was a day of trying to get things done which grated I did so extra points It's a wonder to see each day come with so many things to do and so many new things to achieve. Make each day a day you find something new and wonderful about it and you have something each day to look forward too.

[@victorianoskov1441]

Hope everyone is safe and sound!

[@jackiea.7971]

Love the new intro / outro Mark! Happy Monday!

[@michellej3140]

Once again a great narration. Thank you Mark.😁

[@Zommymommy]

First Story OP stated her son was sweet, treated people kindly and didn’t hold grudges. Now I don’t think OP is the Ahole at the niece is and her fiancée. I hope aunt can forgive her niece and resolve this family problem.

[@AngelaMerici12]

Tieres on a wedding 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣!!! For God's sake!!! What is wrong with these people???
