My Son Excluded Me from His Wedding to Please His In-Laws, So I Kicked Him Out of My House
“He tells me that her family [feels] that we are not good enough and will embarrass them at a family wedding and that we are all uninvited from the wedding.”
After that phone call, the OP took a week to calm down and then drove from New Jersey to Pennsylvania to talk to his son in person; however, what he found when he got there shocked and angered him.
What Did the Man Find At His House?
When the OP arrived at his house in Pennsylvania, he found his future daughter-in-law and her family in his place, seemingly having moved into the home without his son letting him know it was happening.
His future daughter-in-law’s family asked why he was there, and he clarified that since he had been uninvited from the wedding, he was there to speak to his son. They then told him to leave their house. The OP admitted:
“I lost it and told them that they had 30 days to get out. Tell my son I’m selling the house, and he could find somewhere else to live with all of you. I go to a realtor in town and list the house for sale.”
The OP’s son was not home when this happened, but his fiancée phoned him at work to let him know what had happened, having thought the young man owned the house, not his father.
The OP’s son then phoned him and asked why the OP was selling his house, to which the OP replied his son was living there rent-free, and since he wanted nothing to do with his family, he was to be out of the house.
The OP felt “in-laws seem to take over and we no longer count.” The young man, his fiancée, and her family were given 30 days to vacate the home, or a lawyer would evict them. People who saw this post reacted to it and gave the OP advice on the matter.
What Were People’s Reactions to This Incident?
The people who had seen this post told the man to get a lawyer immediately and confirmed he was not unreasonable. Instead, people felt the OP was within his rights to kick them all out. Here are some of their comments:
Now, the question is, was the dad right to kick his son, the fiancee, and her family out of this house? If you were in the OP’s shoes what would you have done?
