Manyfamilieshave members who complicate everything with their toxic behavior.
From bringing up unnecessary discussions to pitting people against each otherthey always find a way to bring chaos.
Just like the OPs brother-in-law.
This man looks down on the author for working from home and doing household chores and childcare.
The OP and his wife have two kids, 3 and 5 years old.
Along with his kids, he also drops off and picks up his 5-year-old niece, Tracy.
Well, apparently not everyone thought he was so cool for doing this.
His son was yelling, My dads not a girl!
while his niece was yelling back, He is!
Hes a [F-slur]!
Thats like a girl!
This shocked the man, becausehow on Earth did his 5-year-old niece know this insult?
His view that real men cant do chores or childcare is the perfect example ofsexism.
Believing in gender stereotypes can not only negativelyaffectrelationships but also harm the person themselves.
Also, after talking about it with his wife, he decided to demand an apology from his brother-in-law.
But it wasnt as easy to get as one might have thought.
Sounds like thetoxicboys will be boys excuse, doesnt it?
The original poster wasnt planning to take back this promise until he got an apology.
The workday came and he didnt go to drop off his niece.
Hisphoneblew up with calls from his sister, but he ignored them until a few hours later.
Even later, the OP received a call from the sisters husband himself.
The people of Reddit didnt think so.
Or, maybe we and the posts author are too naive.
