Family can feel a little forced at times, can’t it?

What would you do if a family member wanted you to visit them on regular basis, but you felt that they were asking for too much? Would you comply, or would you stand your ground?

Read how one Redditor is being pressured into a weekly dinner by her sister, the fiancé, and her parents!

See the story below for more.

AITAH for not wanting to go to my twin sister’s house once a week for dinner to build a better relationship with her fiancé?

I (30M) have a fraternal twin sister (30F) who is currently engaged to her fiancé (35M).

They got engaged in May last year but are in still the very early stages of planning their wedding.

They also have a son (9 months old) together, who is the cutest little human in the world.

They currently live on the opposite side of the city from where I live, but are moving to the same street that I live on on 1st April.

However, they’ll live right at the other end of the street from me. I also live in the same house as our parents (68F and 72M).

This sounds like good news!

This morning, she told myself and both of our parents that she’s moving into a house in the same street as us.

Our parents (especially our mum) were elated.

Mum’s thrilled that she doesn’t have to go to the opposite side of the city to the visit them. She can just walk there now.

This sounds perfect for all parties involved, until…

A couple of hours ago, my sister and our mum had a WhatsApp message conservation with each other whilst I wasn’t in the room.

When I entered the room, about an hour after they had their conversation, our mum told me that my sister wants me (and only me) to go to their new home once a week to have dinner there.

The only reason why my sister wants me to do this is to build a relationship with her fiancé, who will also be my future brother-in-law.

And her mother is siding with the sister!

Our mum said that even though he’s been in our lives for two years now (they kind of rushed their relationship), I barely know him because I’m usually never in the same room with him when we’re in the same building.

I do admit that I’m not close with him.

She also stated that my sister would be extremely disappointed in me if I didn’t do this.

I told her, in a hesitant voice, that I’ll think about it, to which she replied, “DON’T think about it. Do it for your sister. He is your future brother-in-law at the end of the day.”

But, doing a dinner weekly feels like overkill to her.

I don’t want to do it every single week. It’s a bit too much to ask for, in my opinion.

However, our mum saying, “do it for your sister” has made me feel slightly guilty.

Does Reddit think this woman is getting the short end of the deal or should she suck it up and get to know her brother-in-law? Let’s read the comments below to get an idea.

One Redditor said the dinners could be once a month.

Another wondered why play dates were being set up in the first place.

Others said to wait until the move was complete.

And finally, one reader reminded the OP that saying “no” is an option — but it may have consequences.

This woman needs independence from her family.
