It's hard to not take unconditional love for granted, after all, it's unconditional. It doesn't take long to get used to having people help you from the kindness of their heart. That's why we teach our kids to practice saying what they're grateful for every once in a while and counting their blessings of course. You can only do the best you can to encourage your kids to approach the world with empathy, but sometimes it just doesn't click for them.

    Font - I'm a father of 2 "Natalie" 'age 24 and "Jonathan" 'age 17. Jonathan had mobility issues throughout his childhood and it got worse as he grew up. He became a full time wheelchair user 2 years ago after he had a serious accident that left him in a worse state than he was before.

    Font - Now I need to mention that because Natalie is my oldest she had the bigger room in the house. Jonathan had the smaller room which was fine by him but now it's different. With the major changes in his life and needing a wheelchair to move around I have considered to move him into Natalie's old room that she hasn't used in years.

    Font - I first called her to let her know and she gave me the green light to go ahead and do what's best for her brother and make his life easier. I renovated it and added things in it to accommadate Jonathan's needs and it cost money. Remember that was almost 2 years ago.

    Font - Few days ago Natalie called saying she had a huge fight with her now ex after she caught him with someone and was staying at the hotel. We talked a little and she asked me to empty her bedroom and move Jonathan back to his old room because she wanted hers back and said it'd be cool if her mom and I prepare it for when she moves in with us. I was taken aback completely.

    Font - I said I can't move Jonathan out since he needs the room. I explained he needs the space to move freely but she said it's her room nomatter how many years she has been away from home. I called her unreasonable and reminded her that she said I could give the room to Jonathan but she said she wants it and expects to have it back now.

    Font - We went back and forth on this issue and I refused to give it back to her. She threw a fit saying I should be supporting her and giving her shelter in this hard time and I replied I know she's struggling and she's welcome to come but the room was off limits.

    Font - She got more upset saying I was favoring Jonathan over her and got my wife feeling guilty saying she will be staying at the hotel til we tell her her room was ready for her which I declined to do and said she could stay there then.

    Font - This morning I found out my wife's been sending her money to pay for her hotel stay and she's been telling the family I'm keeping her out of the house. In my defense I told them Natalie wants the room but Jonathan needs it and I already spent money to renovate it.

    Font - OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the asshole: The reason I could be wrong is because of the fact that originally, this is Natalie's room and I understand that wanting her room back is the least she could ask for but to Jonathan this is an important space.

    Font - annrkea · 12h e S Partassipant [4] NTA and WTF with your wife, too? She's throwing you under the bus because you want your son to live comfortably? Your daughter and wife need a serious reality check. Or heart check: make sure they still have them.

    Font - pavlovscats1223 · 12h Partassipant [3] NTA. NTA. NTA. At all. Natalie moved out, and the room reverted from being her room to being a room in your house, which you "gifted" to your son. She has no rights to that room. It is now Jonathan's room. Natalie's quality of life will not decrease significantly by moving into a smaller room, but Jonathan's will. So NTA.

    Font - ParsimoniousSalad · 12h Commander in Cheeks [203] You'd be supporting her just fine to give her the room that used to be Jonathan's. Stop your wife from paying for her hotel. That's some entitlement - 'make sure I'm more important than my brother or I'll sulk here at your expense!'NTA
