    My wife and I who are child free have been in a similar situation.
    It was suggested that we not visit my sister and brother in law at Christmas.
    So now we get up when we want, eat what we want when we want, drink what we want and entertain ourselves as we want.
    Thank you brother in law!

      Isn't it fun in the end? To do what YOU want for Christmas?
      I have not been banned from anywhere even we are childfree (tho it's been quite clear I am nothing to my bro and sil ever since they had their kid. I wasn't even worth hearing the name. I can live with it) but when we started dating, we used to do this run between our parents on Christmas. My mom wants to play happy Christmas now that we are old (my childhood Christmases sucked and I hate celebrating it) and my husband's family always had this big, happy large extended family celebration.
      So one year I told I won't go anywhere anymore. That all i ever wished is to do exactly what I want and not run around like headless chicken.
      So i mostly hiss at sofa, eating candy, sipping craft beers and playing videogames.

      Why is that reaction so common in America? Are people with kids resentful regarding couples that don't have kids? I NEVER heard anything like that in my life. Quite on the contrary. It just has upsides when you invite family without children (as long as you like each other of course).

      So many stories where the childfree person/couple is uninvited unless they agree to spend an enormous amount of $$$ on kids or relatives that are not their responsibility. Is that suppose to be a punishment?🤷🏾‍♂️ Too many entitled people and now parents out here thinking that them cutting of contact from their own toxicity is a punishment but in reality it's the trash taking itself out. Also big props to Tod for speaking up to take the lead by pressing charges and getting a restraining order.

      Right?! Like as a “religious” family they should know Christmas isn’t about what material items u get and how “good” of presents u get but about family and spending time with them! And for even the husbands parents to be on their side saying it’s for the kids but them get gifts for the other adults and even have op go shopping with MIL for the SIL and never get anything for op or even their son ever?!
      And their way of smoothing things over was to make them bend to the asshole’s will by forcing them to agree with his story like telling the rest of the family that they said fuck in the argument and had already promised to get all the kids gifts?! Yeah that’s some strong favoritism and possibly passive aggressively punishing them for not having kids.
      I still can’t imagine where the BIL gets off of trying to call them out as bad Christians when he tore the family up because of his greed and envy for presents. And all the nasty things he and the parents called op, they’re not one to cast the first stone with all that judgmental! But not only that he beat up not only his brother but a woman too!? And so badly that he got arrested with husband needing stitches and her having a black eye! Yeah how “godly” of him, all cause he wanted their money and got jealous of a Roomba! Can’t believe the parents had the gall to call him after like he was in the wrong or pay his bail!
      I hope they kept all the nasty voicemails, texts, emails and have pictures of their injuries from him(police likely did for report & arrest) not only for restraining order but to send it all to the whole family and let them know the real them. Let them all know what a “godly” man he is and so the he, his wife and their parents are exiled from the family and future events. The family should have their own holiday party together WITHOUT them! If I was in that family and especially if I had kids I would want to know and not let my family or myself around those dangerous lunatics!

My roommate has included me in on her family holidays, her family has included me in their festivities. Of course due to world events there have been no family gatherings.

    I haven’t listened to the entire story yet, but my theory, which isn’t really a theory because it’s obvious, is because they are upset and punishing them for not having kids. Because, Yknow, you’re selfish and not really loving if you don’t have kids.
    Uh okay I listened to the rest and that seems to be a tiny, tiny portion of it lol.

    What upsets me is that even after all that, even after *BOTH* her husband and _herself_ being _PHYSICALLY ASSAULTED_ by her BIL, OP was _STILL_ unwilling to press charges against him. Reactions like this frankly infuriate me. I'm _SO_ glad that her husband FINALLY shined up his spine and put his foot down. Part of the reason we have so many entitled people running around is because their victims are UNWILLING to press charges and give these people consequences. I don't even understand what OP's logic here was:
    This guy feels entitled to THEIR money, he PUBLICLY attempted to manipulate OP and hubby into buying *15* kids gifts, he talks complete _ish_ about OP, THEN he *GOES TO THEIR HOME AND ASSAULTS both her HUSBAND* _AND_ *OP.* I'm sorry but there is NO coming back from this. Personally based on her husband's commentary of the way he has been treated versus his brother, I don't know why the two of them [OP and hubby] even stuck around year after year putting up with this crap. The brother and their parents are TRASH, but the entire reason they felt so emboldened to do this in the first place is because it sounds like neither OP nor her hubby ever put up any firm boundaries against their entitlement. I'm sorry this happened to them, but at least now they know for certain where they stand with the family, and know not to waste their time, effort and money on these selfish, entitled, people.

It's exhausting, just enjoying a really big feast is all I want. And I even grew up in a family were I was the only kid for 11 years, and we all got a lot of gifts, but it's so stressful for me even *getting* that much. I'd just rather nothing 100%.

Only, when they are on the news, guns are usually involved. Timmy is a Golden Child who failed to launch as most Golden Children do. Because OP's husband wasn't the GC, he most likely worked for everything he has and knows how to handle his life, where as Timmy is always talking big but being small.

    Well you’re being judged for not having kids which is actually none of their business. And I would just totally pass on any Christmas time with them. It’s obvious that your in-laws are judging you about not having children. For the longest time my son took his family on cruises for the holidays, and the grandkids had a blast. Since you and your husband don’t have kids go to Hawaii someplace like that just lay out on the beach for the holidays, and let them complain about that.

    • @TWROC96

It is noted that Tim is the favorite and I think that Tim just has the mentality of yeah my kids will get toys I don’t wanna pay for them so you all will do it because I have better things in my head to do and you will obey me because I am the favorite and nothing will stop it.
