His Brother’s Girlfriend Sent Him A List Of Things She Expects Him To Do Around His House Before Inviting The Family Over For Easter So He Banned Her
A 31-year-old man has a brother named Tom who is 2 years younger than he is. Tom is currently dating a girl, Harper, and his brother has been seeing her for 4 years now.
Tom has no plans of marrying Harper, yet Harper insists that she is his sister-in-law.
“They have no kids and Harper doesn’t work,” he explained. “This would be fine if they didn’t struggle financially.”
“They had to move in with my parents because of debt. My family thinks Harper is lazy and she compensates by being a “perfect housewife.” Harper puts all of her “free” time into party planning, as in planning our family’s birthday and holidays, which we never asked for and don’t like.”
Harper just acts like she’s the professional appointed planner of everything in their lives, and they all hate it.
One of Harper’s favorite things to do when planning family events is to make spreadsheets of chores and things that everyone is expected to do. She basically bosses everyone around in these spreadsheets.
Harper includes who should buy food, who is invited, who is in charge of cleaning up, what the attire is for everyone, what the color scheme for the event is, and what the budget for the event is.
His entire family rolls their eyes at Harper when she rolls out her spreadsheets, as they never want nor need her help.
After Harper gets told off, she always shows up to the family event and pouts since she wasn’t allowed to boss everyone around.

Fast forward to the most recent upcoming family event: Easter. He’s planning on having it at his house and yes, Harper took it upon herself to give him a spreadsheet that included a list of chores for him to do around his own home.
“Apparently my job as host is to “properly” clean my house,” he said. “Weed and mulch my flower beds and remove a dead TREE on the edge of the property.”
“There was a “Tips and Tricks” for lawn care she added at the bottom. Harper has decided to cook the food, her budget is $120, $155 if I want a cake. I emailed her back and simply said “Who invited you?” She texted me a bunch of question marks.”
He sent Harper another text saying he couldn’t let in any “plus ones” to Easter at his house, since he already was over budget from purchasing ham from the grocery store.
“She stopped talking to me,” he continued. “My brother is mad at me. My dad thinks I’m petty. My sisters couldn’t care less and my mom is happy though lol. She hates Harper.”
“My wife wants me to act my age and stop this drama but because it’s my family she’s leaving it as my decision.”
He’s wondering if it was wrong of him to put his foot down and ban Harper from Easter this year at his house.
