His Girlfriend’s Brother Made Fun Of The Fact That His Mom Cuts Vegetables For Him, So He Kicked Him Out Of The House, And Now His Girlfriend Is Upset
When you’re born with a disability or get an injury at some point that prevents you from doing basic tasks, you often have to get inventive or seek help from those around you.
One man recently kicked his brother-in-law out of his house after he made fun of him for getting cooking help from his mom because he’s disabled.
He’s 30-years-old and was born with a bone missing in one of his arms, which means he only has one finger on it. Additionally, that arm is in a fixed position, and he cannot straighten it.
As he grew up, his parents raised him so that he’d be able to do many things for himself and live independently. However, there are some things he physically cannot do that he needs assistance with.
He loves to cook, but some things in the kitchen are tricky for him. For instance, although he can roughly chop vegetables, he can’t finely dice things on his own. So, his mom, who lives nearby, will often drop off bags of finely diced vegetables for him to cook with and put them in his freezer for him.
“I asked her to do this when I lived on my own for the first time because I was fed up with sending onions flying all over my kitchen if I used a knife or it turning to mush if I used the food processor,” he explained.
He has a 28-year-old girlfriend who moved in a while ago that has zero interest in cooking, so he cooks for both of them most of the time. His girlfriend has never had an issue with his mom cutting vegetables for him and even appreciates it since she doesn’t have the knack for it herself.
However, he recently was made fun of by his girlfriend’s 35-year-old brother, who he refers to as his brother-in-law.
“Her brother is currently staying with us and has been for the last four weeks since his ex threw him out because of how lazy he is,” he said.

“He doesn’t have a job. I don’t think he has for the three years I’ve been with [my] girlfriend, nor is he looking for one. He also doesn’t help around the house.”
One morning, he and his girlfriend had to have a talk with her brother about getting his act together. They told him he was too lazy and needed to get a job so he didn’t have to keep relying on others. That same morning, his mom came by to drop off the chopped vegetables.
His brother-in-law became annoyed and told him he was a hypocrite because he had his mom doing things for him.
“After my mom left, he accused her of mollycoddling me and treating me like I’m incompetent,” he remembered.
‘For me, this was a crossed line because this is something I physically can’t do, and my mom is just being helpful. I told [my] brother-in-law that I wanted him to leave and that he was no longer welcome in my home.”
Although it’s his house and ultimately his rules, his girlfriend was upset over her brother getting kicked out without her say, so she left too.
Was he wrong to ask his girlfriend’s brother to leave, or did he do the right thing?
