Her Family Always Looked Down On Her Until She Inherited Her Grandmother’s Farm. Now They Want To Use It For A Wedding.
by Matthew Gilligan
There’s nothing like a good old clash between siblings to get a Reddit story kicked off, am I right?
You know I’m speaking the truth!
And this is a good one, friends…
Is this person wrong for what they did to their sister?
Check out the story below to help make up your mind.
AITA for not allowing my sister to use my farm as her wedding venue?
“My late grandpa started his farm whilst he was in his early 20s.
There were financial problems along the way, but it became successful, and he became rich. My late grandma who passed away last year grew up in the average working class home.
My parents come from rich families and went to private schools and Ivy League colleges. My mother and father always wanted three kids; two girls and one boy.
I’m the youngest out of three girls and my parents were desperately hoping their last child would be a boy but since I was a girl they were resentful to me and they didn’t show any love to me and I was pretty much treated like Cinderella.
Things were not treated as an equal by any measure.
Because my parents showed resentment towards me. My sisters did too and I was bullied by them and they got away with it.
We were treated differently as they both went to private schools, private colleges, they were also allowed to do whatever they wanted and eat whenever they wanted.
I went to a public school, public college and I was only allowed to eat three meals a day. I don’t mind going to a public school but I’m just trying to show how I was treated differently.
At the weekends I was shipped of to my grandmother’s so they could have family time. At age 12 I asked my grandmother if I could live with her and she agreed. As soon as she asked my parents they immediately said yes and started packing my bags.
Whilst going to my grandmothers at the weekend she made me work on the farm even whilst living with her permanently she continued to make me work on the farm at weekends.
I didn’t like that I have to work on the farms and looking back now I realised why she made me do it as she made me work on the farm as a source of therapy as I was constantly arguing and her animals were my therapy.
It was a nice way to grow up.
I remember spending most of my days sitting with the horses and feeding the chickens. I also spent a lot of time running across her fields.
My grandmother sadly passed away last year and she left the whole estate to me which my family wasn’t pleased about. I decided to leave my job as a lawyer and work full-time on the farm and I’m so much happier.
When my grandmother was alive she also used part of her fields for wedding venues and events, she also allowed charities to have events on her farm free of charge.
They got a call out of the blue.
Two months ago my sister got in contact with me after four years of no contact and said she’s engaged and asked me if she could use grandma’s field as wedding venue as she would like to get married.
The thing is I can’t let go of the past and I have started therapy but I told her I need some time to think about it.
My first thought was to charge my sister a price for the venue and make it a price she couldn’t afford but it didn’t feel right so I simply said no.
Now she’s passed my number on to my parents and my other sister and they’re all saying this is my grandmother’s farm and she should be allowed to get married on the farm and I should even do it for free.
My emotions are pretty high right now and I need to know if AITA?”
Check out how folks reacted.
One person suggested what they should say to their sister.
One reader has another idea…
This Reddit user thinks this could escalate.
One person said a warning needs to be put out there.
And this reader said they’re NTA and they need to hold their ground.
On the other hand… this is the family farm. And this woman is just going to further isolate herself from her family over a single event.
Is it worth it to just get a little revenge on people you’ll continue to have to deal with for the rest of your life?
It’s a tough situation for sure.
