34-year-old refuses to let 68-year-old dad move in after he repeatedly insults daughter-in-law over dinner: 'He said he was being honest'

While there are plenty of exceptions, many of us assume that when we fall on hard times, our family will be there to support us. These circumstances may not be ideal, but they can be just the thing that somebody needs to be helped back on their feet. It is also a common scenario in families, especially when it comes to parents helping out their kids. The reverse doesn't always happen as often, but it can prove just as vital.

Whoever may be looking out for that lifeline, a key part of the process is showing some gratitude for what is being offered (so long as the hosts are deserving of it). This is where the arrangement can begin to get complicated, as people start overstepping boundaries and acting in ways that those they depend on find unacceptable. As the old saying goes, it isn't wise to bite the hand that feeds you.

This didn't stop one man from ruining his opportunity to move in with his son and his wife after he repeatedly insulted his daughter-in-law over a dinner she had made. The couple had initially agreed to let him stay with them temporarily after he had some financial struggles.
However, after this berating deeply upset his wife, the son went back on the agreement and told him that he wasn't allowed to move in. His dad thought he was ungrateful, and his mom was pushing him to change his mind, so he wanted to know if he had gone too far.
