I REFUSED to let my family MOVE IN because my 16-year-old SON doesn’t want THEM to… #shorts

Family ONLY when THEY need you. NOT when YOU need them.

[pixie]

NTA. Great mom! Your son is right. You owe them nothing! No one helped you-- except your father, who loved you and is still helping you
... with the inheritance he left you.

[camdesfosses]

They're not family, family helps you. They are relatives. Relatives don't deserve anything. Learned that lesson

[Michelle-sf]

If you were able to stand on your own, and struggle through without help, so can they.

[rnlcook]

NTA. The "family" were NO support and NO help to You and Your son Let them take their entitled, non - supporting a$$ and help each other out!!!

[mariefreeman]

Good for you. You put your foot down and refused those who never supported in your hour of need. NTA
Your family are, TA

[charimynellama]

They remember you when they need or want something from you after they're gonna disregard you again so you're not a hole your a great and caring mother for your child

[cantaloupemfpeterson]

I think more parents should listen to their kids. It's their home too and if my children don't want someone to move in? Don't change their comfort. Children have feelings too ❤

[alanhawkins]

Nope, nope, just!!! Where was their support when YOU needed it¡ that's the same support they get now!!!

[nuraalam]

Let your son be the man who think logically. His opinion matters only.. you are a great mom dont get emotional with the 'we r family afterall'. Dont show kindness to the traitor. We love u

[KikoGarcia-ew]

If they didn't help you don't help them.

[AkA]

Yeah i am selfish. I learnt from you guys ofcourse

[ruthenns]

I like it that you value talks with your son. It's so important to respect your child, no matter the age.
You don't owe your thoughtless, narcissistic, family

[JulieHall-qb]

I would ask them. Where were you when we needed you. So not!!!

[andreajohnson]

Anyone in my opinion who uses the excuse of ‘ because we’re family’ to try and get what they want, is not worth the effort.

[opheyrung]

Funny how when THEY are the ones that need it's "we're family" but when YOU needed them they turned a blind eye and ignored you
I. Hate. It. When family pulls that shit 😤

[debberacrosby]

You are a great mom. Putting your son 1st is so important. Good job!

[calebmufcthompson]

"You owe them support because they're family" but they didn't support you, that is the only response you need to give, then walk away

[shenekiagivens]

You do you girl OK don’t let anyone go into your life except your son. You’re a good mother.

[gabriellendo]

to be short, You don't owe them Shit
