    Font - AITA telling my niece she can leave after she went against the rules in my home, which she was staying in rent free? ETA: when I said no socializing I meant no one at my house. Amy can go out with anyone she wants, no issue. She agreed to this. Throwaway. Ages, I'm 30, my husband 34 and Amy 22. Our niece 'Amy' (my husband's half brother's daughter) stayed at our home recently for almost 2 weeks. Amy had exam season at college, her school is a bit of a drive from where she lives and she'd

(she offered to pay for utilities by the way, we didn't ask her to) We agreed because this was for an educational purpose, and I made it very clear to her she couldn't be using this time for socializing, mingling with friends and so on. Amy agreed to everything. Last week I came home from work and saw Amy's husband in the kitchen. He'd come with a report she left at home. I ask

Amy started acting snarky so I replied she needs to respect other people's house and rules, otherwise she can leave. She got upset and was quiet the rest of the time, but she did end up leaving a few days early. My husband said Amy should've respected the rules but I was too harsh on her. I did text her later, but she didn't reply and she didn't pick up my husband's calls either

    Font - Forward_Squirrel8879 · 5 hr. ago Professor Emeritass [89] YTA - Her HUSBAND coming in for a cup of coffee when he dropped off school papers she needed is not her "bringing men over". Sure, your house your rules. But your reaction to this was completely over the top. As was expecting her to pay for the "increase in utilities" during her two week stay. 19.6k 22 Reply Share

    Font - 83 Jenfosta Exactly... YTA, op. And a looney. Having family (even if it's his half brother's daughter, thanks for clearing that up /s) over for 2 weeks during exams and paying utilities? Saying that she's "bringing men over" when her husband came by to drop off schoolwork? GTFOH. With family like this who needs enemies? Reply Share 9.2k 5 hr. ago edited 5 hr. ago . 2

    Font - rollercostarican - 3 hr. ago I always cringe every time I see a "half sibling" specified. 99% of the time that distinction is irrelevant and just used to justify treating them poorly. Reply Share 293 Nerdlife91 3 hr. ago Asshole Aficionado [10] Yup. All of my siblings are technically half siblings but I've never once seen it that way. They're my brothers. Reply Share 147

    Font - Serious-Yellow8163 - 4 hr. ago Partassipant [1]] Not to mention that the niece's husband is also considered a family member, since they are, you know, married. Good lord. Double YTA OP 725 Reply Share Emerald BlueZen · 4 hr. ago Asshole Enthusiast [5] I agree 100%. Its like she's treating niece as some wayward teen who refuses to study and so thinks she needs to be locked in her room or something. SMH. YTA 407 Reply Share

    Font - Odd-Bit1837 - 3 hr. ago YTA, OP. Beyond a shadow of a doubt. Not only a looney, but an absolutely control freak to an extreme. Why do I get the feeling you are somehow jealous of this niece and you're trying to take her down a peg with this craziness?? Reply Share 299 mad0666 3 hr. ago This was my thought too. Seems like OP's issue is actually "having some young girl" in the house.
