After Her Sister-In-Law Sprung A Near $1,000 Bill On Her At A Bachelorette Party, She Called Her Sister-In-Law An Entitled Brat And Refused To Pay It
This young woman is 25-years-old and currently married to her husband, who is 26. But, when her husband was younger, she detailed how he could not be more different from his older sister– who is now 28.
Apparently, her sister-in-law was a popular cheerleader who had a lot of friends and always attracted boys. On the flip side, her husband was on the nerdier side and got picked on a lot.
So, her in-laws severely spoiled and coddled her sister-in-law, who was the “golden child”; meanwhile, her husband always got the short end of the stick. In fact, her in-laws would even try to tell him to be “more like his sister.”
Since then, though, the tables have drastically turned. She and her husband both went on to attend top universities– obtaining their degrees and landing extremely well-paying jobs in tech.
“I’m not trying to sound braggy, but we live a very, very comfortable life,” she said.
Her sister-in-law, on the other hand, still lives with her in-laws, who cover all the bills. Her sister-in-law also had a daughter with her ex-husband and is now engaged for a second time.
Since her sister-in-law’s second marriage is coming up, she was also recently invited to the bachelorette party– which took place this past weekend.
It was at a fancy upscale restaurant with about eight people since her sister-in-law just wanted to have a nice dinner.
And for a while, the dinner had actually gone quite well. But that was until the meal was wrapping up, and the waiter delivered the nearly $1,000 check to her instead of her sister-in-law.

Obviously, she was caught off guard and sat there all confused for a minute. Then, her sister-in-law spoke up and revealed why she was given the bill.
“My parents and I were talking and were thinking you and my brother could handle the bill for this as a wedding gift since you’re not financially contributing to my wedding,” her sister-in-law said.
After hearing that, she just stared at her sister-in-law in shock before calling her out for not bringing that idea up beforehand.
Apparently, though, her sister-in-law did not see the issue with springing the check on her and started making comments about how, because she and her husband are “so well off,” it’s not a big deal. Her sister-in-law also claimed to believe that her husband would have no problem with covering the bill.
She was not budging, though, and decided to ask why her sister-in-law’s fiancé or parents did not pay for the dinner. She also asked why her sister-in-law ever thought it was okay to just throw the bill on her out of nowhere.
Now, at that point, her sister-in-law reportedly went on a rant about how she and her husband are the wealthiest people in the family. So, her sister-in-law claimed not to expect her reaction and instead thought she would just say yes.
“But I told her, ‘Well, sorry, but I’m not your parents. Don’t expect handouts from me,'” she recalled. Yikes!
Afterward, her sister-in-law started accusing her of being selfish. But she fired back by calling her sister-in-law an entitled brat before paying for her portion of the bill and leaving the dinner.
Once she stormed out, her mother-in-law, some aunts, and even some cousins swooped in to take her sister-in-law’s side. They are apparently beyond furious at her and expect her to apologize for what she said at the dinner.
“And I told them over my dead body,” she revealed.
Thankfully, her husband has fully taken her side, and now, they are even debating not attending her sister-in-law’s wedding.
Since filling her own mother in on the situation, though, her mom actually thought that she took it way too far. Plus, her mom believes she should just apologize in order to keep the peace.
So now, she has been left wondering whether embarrassing her sister-in-law at the dinner after she was expected to foot the bill makes her a jerk or not.
Does it matter how wealthy she and her husband are? Are they responsible for “financially contributing” to her sister-in-law’s wedding? Did she have a right to tell her sister-in-law off after the bill was sprung on her? If you had been in her shoes, would you have done the same?
