Back when my sister was pregnant with her daughter she asked me if I would paint the nursery for her. She wanted this really detailed job done and wanted her daughter’s name, Melody, painted on the wall. I wasn’t sure about it because my sister is known to take advantage of me being her older brother. But I ultimately agreed because I figured I would just set boundaries. She was impossible to work with, pushed my boundaries, and I was working on it a lot longer than intended because of how much she wanted done and how detailed she was about everything. It took 2 weeks of me doing a few hours every day for her to be okay with it. I told her I was done and said she’d need to find someone else for the next kid if she has one.

My niece was born a week ago and my sister changed her mind about the name because she said it was too similar to my daughter’s name. So she decided on the name Birdie for her daughter. Cool. She told me I’d need to fix the name in the nursery and I told her no, she’ll have to find someone else to fix the name in the nursery because I won’t be doing that again. She said it will look off if done by someone else and I told her it was not my problem.

She yelled at me and then she tried to get my wife to change my mind. My wife told her where to go and said she had taken up so much of my time on the nursery anyway that she was rude to demand more. I was pissed when my sister went to my wife behind my back. I was so damn proud of my wife for not letting my sister make those demands.

My sister told me I’m being a dick and her daughter doesn’t deserve for me to be petty over our issues.

AITA?
