They say it’s possible for you to pick your friends but not your family.
But lets be honest, sometimes, family comes with a whole lot of baggage.
If youve ever thought your family gatherings were chaotic, wait until you hear about our guys situation.
The happy couple was on cloud nine after welcoming their beautifuldaughter, Sadie, into the world.
The wifes sister, Hannah, is a 25-year-old woman who was also having a rough time.
Hannah turned to her sister, Jacks wife, for help and a place to live.
Despite their rockyrelationship, Jacks wife eagerly invited Hannah to stay with them.
Now, heres where it gets interesting.
Hannah hasADHD, which, according to her, drove her to do all the household chores.
Jack tried to intervene, but both women assured him it was fine.
ADHD isnt just about being distracted.
It can also mean hyperfocus on tasks like cleaning.
Soon, it became clear what.
His wife has been pushing all thechildcareand chores onto Hannah while being increasingly rude to her.
She has even used derogatory terms to describe Hannahs efforts, and her ADHD, sparking a massive fight.
These symptoms may include, among others, irritability and anger, severe mood swings or even overwhelming fatigue.
Hannah has also been paying for food, even though Jack already gives his wife money for groceries.
Jacks wife told Hannah she could leave and sleep on the streets if she didnt like the rules.
Thats when he snapped, telling his wife hed rather live with Hannah than her.
His wife has been giving both him and Hannah the cold shoulder since then.
However, Jacks comment about preferring Hannah over his wife wasnt about romantic interest.
It was a desperate cry for decency and fairness in his own home.
Making Hannah pay rent and buy supplies while taking her money for personal use?
Thats financial exploitation, plain and simple.
Its not just unfair, its also unethical.
So, is Jack the jerk in this story?
Given the circumstances, its hard to say he is.
He has been shouldering the household responsibilities and watching his wife exploit her sister.
His comment was a reaction to extreme frustration and concern for Hannahs well-being.
