My dumbass brother has too many kids (6) and he and his wife are drowning financially. A lot of it would be mitigated his worthless wife got a job. She and I hate each other. I mean, hate.

The oldest boy “Matthew” got into Pepperdine and my brother and SIL told him that they’d take care of his tuition. Matt really wants out of the house. He doesn’t want to be their babysitter. I questioned how the fuck are they going to pay the tuition when they’re flat broke. My SIL told me it wasn’t any of my business. I said do NOT promise that kid that you’ll take care of his tuition and then flake out.

Surprise surprise surprise. They told Matt they can’t afford it after all and he was devastated. I told my brother and SIL they were both scumbags and that to an estrangement.

I told Matt that I’d pay his tuition. I have money. So now he’s going to Pepperdine. My brother broke our estrangement and told me that this meant not only the world to him but also Matt. Then my SIL texted me and thanked me for helping her out.

I told her nothing has changed. I still despise her and I did not do it for her. I did it for Matt. I wouldn’t have done it if it was for you. You got me fucked up to think otherwise.

My brother said I was an asshole to send her that text I should apologize. I refused. She messed up by making it about her. They should be licking my boots for being Super Uncle to their 6 kids.
