AITA for calling my mom when my husband refused to listen to me?
“I (26f) recently moved into my first home. I am also 4 months pregnant with our first baby.
The pregnancy has been very hard. I have horrible morning sickness. It reached a really bad point where I passed out hit my head and my Dr admitted me to the hospital for a week.
When I got home my husband allowed his brothers family to move into 2 of our 3 bedrooms. (They were evicted i dont know why). One room was My office was tossed into our room papers everywhere. The house was a complete wreck. Trash, dirty clothes, used diapers. I started to cry.
It was like a light flipped my husband was no longer the same. My husband told me it “wasn’t that bad”. My reply was “fine then you should have the house cleaned up before I wake up.” Completely exhausted I fell asleep for 4 hrs. I woke up and went to get a drink of water.
I couldn’t every glass we own is scattered around the house. They didn’t clean a single thing. I passive aggressively started to pick up the dirty dishes and washed them.
The following morning. I was trying my best to work when their kids were crying non stop. Banging on the walls so on. Their mom was in her room for hours ignoring them.
When my husband came home. He was upset with me over how I didn’t make his brother’s wife feel welcome in our home. By helping with their kids when she was tired. Then continued to complain how nothing was done while he was at work all day in the house. Yep the same one he didn’t clean.
That lead to a fight where I told him. “I am too sick to have company and they need to leave”. To which he replied they are his family and he won’t kick them out. I started to cry again. I was beyond frustrated, exhausted, I physically couldn’t do it anymore. I called my mom asking if I could come stay with her. Telling her the whole story in front of my husband. Who at this point was completely shocked, Angry, also I could tell he wasn’t sure what to do.
My mom came with my brother’s (I have 3 older brothers). My mom super angry told my husband. “Since your family can stay so can we.” My mom quickly took charge. I was sent to bed. My brother’s started cleaning complaining loudly at how disgusting my BIL family is. Along with what a horrible husband my husband is for putting me through this while I am sick.
I got a text message from my MIL for calling me an A for not helping my husband clean up the house and putting my BIL in a uncomfortable position by having my mom boss him around.”
