Dude Whines About His Wife's Cooking So Brother-In-Law Serves Dinner With Toy Kitchen Set for Toddlers

What do you do when you witness your a-hole in-law treating your sibling like crap? Do you keep your head down and stay out of their business, or do you intervene? One redditor decided on the latter after witnessing his exhausted sister get crap from her husband for not serving him dinner even though she'd cooked everything. Angry on his sister's behalf, OP taught his brother-in-law a lesson—a petty move that might have done more harm than good, but satisfying nonetheless.

“AITA for serving my sister's husband dinner using toy utensils?” —u/THROWAWAYBIL20223

“I told him if he wanted to act like a helpless child, then he might as well get treated like one.”

Redditors in the comments vote “everyone sucks here.”

Although most redditors thought OP's petty revenge was pretty hilarious, many pointed out that OP might have made the situation worse for his sister, therefore deciding that “everyone sucks” in this situation.

“Yeah I mean I agree that while it was DEFINIETLY well-deserved, it probably wasn't the smartest thing to do -- for OP, since he needs to make sure he still has a place to live, and for the sister for the reasons you said.” Added u/sarita_sy07. “Although from the post it does sounds like the sister also found it funny and wasn't mad at him for doing that ... who knows maybe sister is also reconsidering staying married to this sexist jerkwad.”

u/aanonnymoose commended OP, commenting, “if my brother stood up for me like this i would be so happy and so lucky to have him.”

“This is excellent advice.” Added u/JennIsFit. “I highly doubt the BIL would understand the symbolism behind the action. He sounds like he responds to anything negative with nothing but anger.”

“Fully agree. This may have been funny in the moment, but only added fuel to a fire (and will probably result in OP being kicked out and more stress for the sister.) The husband is a massive AH but it wasn't wise for OP to do what he did.” Said u/Electrical-Date-3951.
