AITAH for not volunteering my wife to help my brothers kid?
So this happened a few days ago, May 10th, 2026. Mother’s Day of all days 😓
I got a late night call from my brother “Greg” asking if I could ask my wife “Christie” if she could take time out of her schedule to help my nephew thread a sewing machine. (Honestly a quick YouTube search)
My wife’s schedule between work and our two kids is about 6am-8:30pm and she barely gets an hour or so to herself because I work most days during the week. (Also we only have one car and I’m gone most of the day)
I tried to tell him this and he says “that’s bizarre, guess I’ll talk to you later”
Not even a full ten minutes later and my sister in law “Hannah”(his wife) goes on an unfiltered rampage over several rapid fire texts saying how I need to be more of an adult and this isn’t how family helps each other.
In the 20+ years I’ve been working with/for them almost every single interaction with them has almost been purely transactional.
AITAH for not volunteering my wife for something she definitely doesn’t have time for or honestly doesn’t really want to do?
(For the record, the relationship between my brother and I has been tenuous at best since I stopped working for him about a year ago.)
EDIT:
for those saying this is AI, that’s laughable 🤣 I wish a computer could generate a crappier relationship 😅
