My husband's family has that jackassey attitude toward his younger brother, who handles home schooling, home management, and a custom furniture business on the side. It's pretty infuriating.

Do they even know what century this is? For crying out loud!

TBH, I think a lot of my family's unwillingness to see my brother as a good dad is because he used to be a drunk and a criminal. But that was years ago. He's been sober for over 6 years now - longer than me - and anyways, where were any of them when he needed help?! Like if someone is a 15 year old alcoholic, maybe you should try helping, not judging? So now they can't see anything he does as good and it makes me wonder how they see me, since I was an addict and a criminal. Or do I just get a pass because of the disability? That's bull. My brother takes care of the baby all day and cleans the house and does the laundry and helps The Nephew with his homework and then when he gets a day off, he spends it in Detroit handing out blankets to homeless people. But no, let's judge him on his actions from a decade ago when he was mentally ill and drunk and in need of help. Good call guys! 80
