    Font - AITA for kicking my sister and niece out after they ate all my wife's fruit? My wife is 34 weeks pregnant and throughout this whole pregnancy, her two consistent cravings are fresh mango and strawberries. I make sure to keep them stocked in the fridge at all times because I know she will 100% get up in the middle of the night and go straight to the fridge looking for these items. The amount of joy she gets from these two pleasures are insane. She generally is good natured anyhow but seein

    Font - My sister (46) asked to stay with us for a few weeks because her and her husband are on the rocks and she had no where else to go. I asked my wife about it and she said that was fine as long as they were gone by the time she had the baby, which I agree with. I tell my sister and she said she would make sure to be gone before then. We weren't even charging her rent or anything. The only stipulation I had was that they buy all their own food because my wife and I tend to eat rather healthy

    Font - and that was the end of it. However, a few more days go by and I notice, again, that the fruit is gone. I asked my sister about it and she said it must have been my niece and that she would speak to her. But yesterday I came home after an appointment with my wife (ultrasound) and there's my sister, dipping the strawberries in to a case of sugar and eating them while scrolling her phone. My wife immediately looks defeated and says "I'm just going to go lay down". She looked extremely hurt.

    Organism - Far-Juggernaut8880 • 18h To be clear, you are asking her to leave because she was not respecting your and your wife's boundaries. ΝΤΑ ... Reply 5.9k EntrepreneurAmazing3 • 18h Exactly. The fruit is just the symptom, not the disease. /Its not about the nail.

    Font - Careless_League_9494 • 18h 2 Awards ΝΤΑ You're not kicking her out over fruit. You're kicking her out over the fact that she has no respect for you, your wife, or your very reasonable, and clearly stated boundaries. There are few things I hate more than when people try to trivialize your reasonable boundaries with comments like that. You're really kicking me and your niece out over fruit? Are you serious? It's not about the fruit. It's about the fact that you set one single boundary, and

    Font - BronxyMay BLM • 18h NTA, it's not about the fruit. It's about respect and boundaries, which she clearly refuses to accept. She is showing entitlement. You don't HAVE to give her a place to stay, regardless if she is family or not. You chose to be kind and give her a place to stay and not even charge her anything. You gave her ONE rule and instead of respecting it, she chose to ignore the rule multiple times even after being reminded about it. Nah, kick her out. If anyone has any problems

    Font - ΝΤΑ Cryptographer_Alone - 18h Seriously, don't get between pregnant women and their go-to foods. Pregnancy is hard enough, and sometimes you lose foods that you love for months. Moreover, if it's expressly laid out that food is not being shared between roommates, and the roommate eats the other's food anyway, that's stealing. Sister and niece have been caught twice before stealing food. This was the third time. In no instance did they reimburse OP for what they stole, nor did they replace

    Font - dnvrwlf 18h ● NTA - Your sister lied to you. She was guilty of a thing, apologized, and said it wouldn't happen again, then blamed it on her kid and said she would address it, and then she got caught in her lie. There is no way to tell if she ever told the truth. Your wife is pregnant, and you both put yourselves out there to help family when they asked. Both of you should be commended for your patience during this stressful time of your lives. I think you did what any reasonable person w

    Font - She_shops_2_much - 18h NTA. You need new people around you to support you and your wife. Your sister and niece were taking advantage of your kindness and generosity. The request was easy enough and they disrespected you and your wife in your home. It's funny that they were the ones that actually proved that family means nothing over food.

    Font - mtngrl60 17h To the people who are telling you that your sister needed you during a hard time... You were there. You gave her and your niece a place to stay. All they had to do was pay for their own food and not eat yours. Pretty simple. So the next one who says anything about it... Just tell them that since disrespect is not a big deal to them, you will go pick your sister and niece up wherever they are and drop them at that person's house. And if it's family from far away, just tell the

    Font - shattered_kitkat • 17h ΝΤΑ I lost 50lbs between conception and the day before I had my cesarean because people kept eating the food I got for myself. Your sister easily could have gotten her own fruit, as you said, but instead chose to be lazy and rude.

    Font - sugar182 17h ● OP, your sister is literally taking food from a baby -her future niece or nephew. Your wife is growing a person and that baby needs all the healthy food it can get. There's no quality substitution for fresh fruit like that and if your wife is craving it, there's something she needs right now from that fruit! For me, this goes beyond disrespect

    Font - ComfortableZebra2412. 18h NTA I've understood why people who are getting a handouts can't understand basic rules or boundaries. She got herself kicked out. Forgetting a few times to do things differently like always leave the shower door open, or run the the fan is one thing. Not eating fruit is pretty basic
