After Her Sister-In-Law Made A Nasty Comment About Her, She Kicked Her Out And Forced Her To Fly Home From Vacation Early
This 29-year-old woman has a half-brother named James, 37.
James and his wife, Lindsay, 35, have two children: a 4-year-old daughter and a son who’s 2 years old.
Last week, she invited James and his family to visit, and they’d originally planned to stay with her until next week Friday.
“Lindsay and I have always got on fine, except for the fact that she’s always had a weird attitude to me being a stay-at-home wife and mother. She always asks me if I’m going to ask my husband before making non-essential purchases, asks me if I feel bad for relaxing while he’s working, or suggests I do things for him as a ‘thank you’ to him since I’m apparently not doing anything else,” she said.
James and Lindsay’s marriage is quite different, and they both split the costs of things. When they go out, James pays for himself and the children, but Lindsay pays for herself despite the fact that James’ salary is 25 times more than hers.
Since it seems like James and Lindsay are happy and that’s the arrangement that they’re comfortable with, she tries to brush off Lindsay’s rude comments. She assumes that since Lindsay’s marriage is so vastly different, Lindsay must just think her marriage is strange and is questioning the way she and her husband do things.
But several days ago, while James, Lindsay, and their children were visiting, Lindsay’s comments were even more offensive than usual.
“We were sitting on our rooftop drinking wine after the kids went to bed. Lindsay was admiring the view and made a comment about how much our apartment cost (James must have told her) and asked if my name was on the deed. She then said, ‘Half of this (X amount) penthouse just for hooking up? Intimacy is way more lucrative than I thought.’ Both my husband and James laid into her for the comment. I was obviously furious and told Lindsay first thing in the morning, she had to get out. She wasn’t staying here after speaking to me like that, especially when she wasn’t even apologetic,” she explained.
They all went to sleep after that, and in the morning, Lindsay asked if she could stay at her house. Lindsay told her that James didn’t want to cut the trip short because he wanted to stay. Apparently, Lindsay couldn’t afford to get a room at a nearby hotel.

Lindsay claimed that she only made the comment because she’d had too much wine, and she said sorry, but it didn’t seem like she truly felt bad for what she said. In her view, Lindsay only said sorry in hopes of being allowed to stay at her house.
“I told her this and said even if she did mean it, I just needed some space from her and didn’t want her around after what she said because when put on top of what she’s been saying for years, it’s obvious that’s what she thinks. James then said he wasn’t paying for her hotel because it was her own actions that got her kicked out, and she would have to fly home early, and he’d fly back with the kids as planned, which is what happened,” she continued.
After Lindsay flew home, she texted her and sent her messages on social media, expressing how angry she was for being kicked out.
Now, she is hearing multiple opinions from family members about what they think she should have done instead. Her mother felt that she should have just kicked the whole family out at once because the situation was only made worse since Lindsay had to fly home early and be away from her children for a few days.
James’ mother thought she should have allowed Lindsay to stay and just chose never to invite James and his family to the house again in the future. James didn’t agree with her decision to kick Lindsay out at all.
Do you think she was wrong for kicking Lindsay out of her house?
