However, the woman had warned the parents in advance that she’d be busy with work that evening
The author warned them that she works from home and that she would be working that evening too, because the request from her bro came too late. She invitedher partner, who usually gets along with the girl greatly, and that’s how they spent the evening. The aunt worked, while her significant other played with the kid.
“In fact, this happens quite often – when an honest person encounters manifestations of blatant entitlement and manipulating, they begin to think that it’s actually their fault for what is happening,” says Irina Matveeva, apsychologistand certified NLP specialist, with whomBored Pandagot in touch for a comment on this case. “And nothing good comes of it, of course.”
Many responders are also sure that such a case is a clear reason to reconsider the OP’s relationships with relatives. “They have made strong allegations against you and you have to protect yourself and your reputation.
