Family Drama Begins As 190Kg Sister-In-Law Destroys A Priceless Hammock Chair After Being Warned Not To Sit On It

by Maryjane

Living with two families brings its own set of difficulties. And besides, when you are married to somebody, you welcome a new group of people who do care about your partner, and while you would like this new group of people to love and respect you and stick by your side irrespective of what happens, that’s not often the case.

Redditor Fickle-Life-9867 had a first-hand encounter with this scenario. The 35-year-old woman recently shared her experience with the AITA community after having a tough time getting along with her sister-in-law.

Actually, the OP’s oldest son bought her a pricey hammock chair for her birthday. While she was initially reluctant, the young man persuaded her to accept the gift because it was the first present he had ever purchased for his mother, and it was also her birthday.

Unfortunately, the excitement of the gift quickly disappeared when her sister-in-law decided to try it out despite being warned sternly not to due to her weight (as she weighs around 420 pounds). This stern warning, however, did not deter her from trying out the hammock chair and eventually tearing it apart.

This escalated into a heated argument in which both the Redittor’s partner and her 420-pound sister-in-law accused her of fat-shaming. The entire incident created a stir in the AITA community, so keep reading to find out how the story unfolded.

While arguing with your partner and their family or relatives is never convenient, this woman found the courage to share her experience online. We can only imagine how difficult it must have been for the Redditor to be blackmailed for her emotions after witnessing something valuable to her being destroyed in seconds by an unconcerned sister-in-law.
