Your devotion ought to always be to your family.  Having said that, what would you do if someone in your own family consistently mistreated you?

The story below is an account of a frustrated nephew. The original poster (OP) grew up in a fairly traditional setting where the most important rule to abide by is respecting the elderly. Consequently, OP offered his aunt and kids a place to stay when the storm hit as they couldn't find a secure location where they could go. But as soon as they settled in, the aunt began criticizing the layout and style of the house, claiming she could find a better place to stay in a heartbeat. 

Offended, OP packed up his aunt's belongings, gave her some money, and sent her out to find a more suitable place to live. To his astonishment, though, she shows up just hours later, mortified that not a single friend or family member has offered to take her in. So, to find out what happens next, make sure to read the story below! After you're done, don't forget to read the story of the arrogant teacher who challenges the entitled student who gloats about his superior knowledge, only to make him look foolish in front of the entire class!

    So we're getting a couple of storms and it's. been heavy rain and wind for the past week. It's bad enough that certain areas are evacuated. I live in a pretty good house that can stand that level of wind and rain, where it's located flooding is not a concern. So relatives, friends, and neighbours are welcome if they need a place to stay.

    In comes Aunt Kay (60s), my mom's sister, and her 3 children (F32, M28, F20) with their children. Aunt Kay is a hassle and honestly I'd rather not deal with her. But her place isn't in a good spot. So I let them stay at my place until the storm blows over. Aunt Kay has been nagging and complaining nonstop. All she does is laze around on her phone complaining about everything she can

    think of. Her kids have told her to stop which turns into her becoming a raging screaming witch. So one day while we're in the living room Aunt Kay comes in and was talking to another aunt, Emma. Aunt Kay was complaining about my place and Aunt Emma was trying to tell her off but ain't no stopping that word-vomiting h •

    Aunt Kay then says she can find a better place, mind you it's been raining all day and the winds have gotten stronger. You go outside and you'll be pelted and maybe fly off if you aren't careful. As her oldest is telling her to stop, Aunt Kay just keeps on going and tells me my house s ks. and whoever built it had s t for brains.

    That set me off as the house was designed by my parents and they out their heart and soul into it. So I told her to leave and find a better place. then if she doesn't like my place. Aunt Kay looked offended and started telling Aunt Emma what I had just said. Aunt Emma told her off and then hanger up.

    Aunt Kay looked at me and just tried to go back to her bde but I told her she had to leave and find another place. She didn't want to apologize and told me I was being sensitive and needed to respect my elders. I told her she didn't respect me and since she could find a better place she ought to leave.

    I wasn't backing down so she went and got her stuff and when she saw her kids and grandkids weren't going with her she was not happy. I gave her an umbrella and some cash. That happened at around 9 am, she came back at around 2 pm drenched and defeated. She gave me a quiet apology and begged to be let in.

    Turns out she went around to some of her friends places and even her bf's but they were either gone or telling her off for f in the storm. g around She now just lazes and keeps quiet. I don't care if she still complains but at least I don't have to hear it.

    Edit: This happened in the Philippines. She did return the umbrella but not the cash. It was $5 (250 pesos) for fare. This is nothing new from her, she'll try to push boundaries to get her way but if I'm near I call her out on it. She's a big believer in respecting your elders but what she did is seen as a massive f k you. You don't insult hospitality, she's been getting verbal smackdowns from other relatives for what she did.

    Deranged_Kitsune • 12h ago Make sure she understands that your generosity has reached its limits with her. Before the next rains come, tell her she needs to make arrangements to stay at one of those better places, because she certainly won't be back at yours.

    Automatic-Move-5976 8h ago So, Aunt Kay and your mom's sister are the same person. Got it, and you took in Aunte ungrateful, her three children, and her multiple grandchildren? She's got a problem that probably needs professional therapy, and medication. It sounds like she

    has developed terse, extreme criticism as a way of communication and getting attention. It's almost the same as people. who chuckle at the end of a sentence that really isn't appropriately ended with a chuckle. She's apparently gotten away with it because no one has had the cojones to back her down,

    She is to be pitied. And needs help. But it's no excuse for her behavior towards you. Good on you for allowing her back in your home. Encourage her kids you force her to get help.
