Today, I was uninvited from every family event henceforth, because I finally had it and told my sister that I can’t stand to be around her horribly misbehaved kids. They have screaming meltdown tantrums, throw and break things, start fights and steal. How am I the bad guy? FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was uninvited to the family Christmas party. Apparently, everyone is tired of me "refusing to watch or discipline my own kids". Sure, one of them is autistic and has violent meltdowns, but I thought it took a village to raise a child? FML
Today, I'm not going to our family Christmas party due to events last year that caused me to cut off contact with one of my sisters. My entire family is now making me out to be the villain to my 8 year-old, and trying to manipulate my decision with guilt trips. They have reduced me to tears 12 days in a row. FML
Today, I was uninvited from my own birthday party. FML
Today, my mom and siblings got into a fight. Being generally quiet and non-confrontational, I stayed out of it. Shortly thereafter, I was yelled at by my mother for being "ungrateful" and "disrespectful." I still don't know what I did wrong. FML
Today, I found out I wasn't invited to the annual family reunion. The reason? Everyone thinks I'm "creepy" because I'm the only adult who will go out and play with the kids. FML
Today, I was uninvited to a family reunion because I’m the result of my mom’s affair while she was married to her husband, who raised me as a dad for 22 years before we found out. According to my aunts, uncles, and cousins who I grew up with, it means I’m not really family anymore. FML
Today, I told my mom that having watched my sister ruin her life having kids who grew into brats with criminal records before their teens, I refused to ruin my life the same way and will be childless. I then turned to leave and they were in the doorway, my sister and her two brats. I got slapped. FML
Today, I prevented my brother from attending our sister's funeral, since they hated each other and she didn't want him there, in accordance with her wishes. Now the whole family hates me and say that I should have let him in and that sometimes, you have to go against someone's wishes. FML
Today, I was told I'm not invited to my best friend's birthday party. Apparently, being divorced and childless doesn't "mesh" well with the rest of the group. My parents are still watching her kids so she can go away for the weekend. FML
Today, my sister and mom were arguing. My sister was being really nasty to my mom, and decided to get nasty with me and drag me into the argument. Naturally, I got nasty back at her and we started fighting. My mom yelled at me for getting nasty with my sister, and kicked me out of the house for “being too nasty.” FML

You aren't a bad guy, they are for not seeing the truth.

You’re the bad guy because you expressed yourself badly. You should be slipping them candy at all times, tell them which stores are easiest to steal from and reveal to the that their mom’s an idiot. You shouldn’t have to fix your sister’s bad parenting, so have fun with it!

Sounds like your sister has a lot on her hands. Yes, probably needs to parent them more. But have you ever stopped to think that she can’t just say she can’t stand her kids like you can? And after every family event you get to go home and she has to stick with her kids who clearly have some behavioral issues? Maybe instead of saying you can stand them you should of expressed worry and showed that you’re concerned. Then ask what she needs and support her in trying to get her kids on the right track.

Courtalex is one of those terrible parents who don’t know how to raise their kids but doesn’t want to be held accountable for being a parent.

Nah, he should call CPS.

How old are they and do they have any health issues going on? Or is she a parent who doesn't give a shit and lets them rule her roost and she doesn't discipline them.

You've got the peace & quite it reads like you wanted or desired

If you didn't want to be around them and they're there at family gatherings, not being invited there seems to be perfect.

I’d have called cps on her

CPS is for mistreating kids not mishandling them.

So, in other words, she has completely normal kids....I’m sure you’ll be singing a different tune when it’s your kid having the meltdown.

I don't know what type of kids you have around you but the ones I know definitely don't behave like hellions.

...and are you and your kids still invited to family functions? I mean, yeah, toddlers have meltdowns, but you can actually expect some kind of behavior standard that does not include breaking and stealing stuff from children.

Dude it’s no big deal. If you have to distance yourself from your family for your own happiness, then it’s for the best. I know I did and it’s made a big difference.

Depends on how you told her. If you finally had it, you probably weren’t kind with your wording. Nobody wants to hear they are a bad parent and most people won’t tell someone that they are. So they will side with her. Sucks for you, but commenting on someone else’s kid’s behavior is a delicate situation.
