But unfortunately, some personalities don\u2019t mix well together, and some people just aren\u2019t meant to be in each other\u2019s lives. This seemed to be the case for one family and their son\u2019s future in-laws.<\/p>\n<p>The father explained how he and his wife live in New Jersey and commute to Manhattan, New York, for work. His son went to college in Pennsylvania and fell in love with the area so much that the father decided to purchase a four-bedroom house there. This way, they would all live in neighboring states and could visit often.<\/p>\n<p>The dad has been paying for most of the house, such as the taxes and maintenance, while the son has been paying for the utilities and his own expenses, like groceries. The son also lives there rent-free. Everything was going well for several years until the son got engaged.<\/p>\n<p>After the son\u2019s family and his fianc\u00e9e\u2019s family met, it seemed like everyone got along well enough, but that wasn\u2019t the case. The fianc\u00e9e\u2019s family were not fans of the son\u2019s family and therefore deemed it best that they not be invited to the wedding.<\/p>\n<p>This has resulted in several issues between the families and even within the father and his son\u2019s relationship. Since it seemed like the son was ready to start a new life with a new family, the father acted out in a way that could potentially sever ties with his child forever \u2013 selling the son\u2019s house. He went to Reddit in June 2022 to ask users if he went too far or was right to be so upset.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ads--middle\"><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"article__image lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/image.apost.com\/media\/articletranslation\/2022\/07\/06\/11\/735ae9228acecade562966723bcf68b8_500x1.jpg\" data-src=\"\/\/image.apost.com\/media\/articletranslation\/2022\/07\/06\/11\/735ae9228acecade562966723bcf68b8_500x1.jpg\" \/><span class=\"article__image--copyright\">For Illustration Purposes Only (With Models) &#8211; istockphoto.com\/ozgurcankaya<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/AmItheAsshole\/comments\/vnl1hw\/aita_for_throwing_them_out_of_a_house_that_we_own\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reddit post<\/a>, the original poster (OP) talked about how he and his wife purchased a home in Pennsylvania for his son to live in and how they pay for the taxes while the son lived there rent-free. Everything went well for a few years until their son got into a serious relationship with his now-fianc\u00e9e, who moved in with him. After that, wedding planning became yet another issue.<\/p>\n<p>The family held a small party at the Pennsylvania house to get to know the son\u2019s fianc\u00e9e and her family more. \u201cWe all seem to be getting along well, my wife, daughter and the fianc\u00e9e go into the house along with her mother and sisters and my son,\u201d OP said. \u201cA few minutes later my wife and daughter come out and are really upset.\u201d They said they wanted to drive back to New Jersey immediately, so OP did just that. Once they got back home, OP found out that his son\u2019s fianc\u00e9e and future in-laws did not want them at the wedding.<\/p>\n<p>OP explained, \u201cAccording to what I was told, \u2018We\u2019re not their kind of people.\u2019 I was livid, I called my son and asked him what the hell this was about. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After taking a week to calm down, OP drove to Pennsylvania to speak with his son in person, only to find the fianc\u00e9e and future in-laws at the house who had all moved in. OP explained he wanted to speak with his son, but the family grew hostile.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-page-like\">\n<div class=\"fb-page-like__logo\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-page-like__text en_US\">\n<div class=\"fb-like fb_iframe_widget\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/apostcom-English-1503815046562182\/\n\" data-layout=\"standard\" data-width=\"300\" data-action=\"like\" data-size=\"large\" data-show-faces=\"false\" data-share=\"false\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"\" title=\"fb:like Facebook Social Plugin\" src=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/v3.2\/plugins\/like.php?action=like&amp;app_id=141565146244486&amp;channel=https%3A%2F%2Fstaticxx.facebook.com%2Fx%2Fconnect%2Fxd_arbiter%2F%3Fversion%3D46%23cb%3Df7f7569a36f2b4%26domain%3Dwww.apost.com%26is_canvas%3Dfalse%26origin%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.apost.com%252Ff2e0f2b04ecbda%26relation%3Dparent.parent&amp;container_width=0&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fapostcom-English-1503815046562182%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;locale=en_US&amp;sdk=joey&amp;share=false&amp;show_faces=false&amp;size=large&amp;width=300\" name=\"f2ee4679ae87b8c\" width=\"300px\" height=\"1000px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-testid=\"fb:like Facebook Social Plugin\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fb-page-like__faces\">\n<div class=\"fb-page-like__faces--wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fb-like fb_iframe_widget\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/apostcom-English-1503815046562182\/\n\" data-layout=\"standard\" data-action=\"like\" data-size=\"small\" data-show-faces=\"true\" data-share=\"false\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"\" title=\"fb:like Facebook Social Plugin\" src=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/v3.2\/plugins\/like.php?action=like&amp;app_id=141565146244486&amp;channel=https%3A%2F%2Fstaticxx.facebook.com%2Fx%2Fconnect%2Fxd_arbiter%2F%3Fversion%3D46%23cb%3Df2f1f513cb52d5%26domain%3Dwww.apost.com%26is_canvas%3Dfalse%26origin%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.apost.com%252Ff2e0f2b04ecbda%26relation%3Dparent.parent&amp;container_width=0&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fapostcom-English-1503815046562182%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;locale=en_US&amp;sdk=joey&amp;share=false&amp;show_faces=true&amp;size=small\" name=\"f4a5ceb3e9d28c\" width=\"1000px\" height=\"1000px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-testid=\"fb:like Facebook Social Plugin\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fb-page-like__button\">\n<div class=\"fb-like fb_iframe_widget\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/apostcom-English-1503815046562182\/\n\" data-layout=\"button\" data-action=\"like\" data-size=\"large\" data-show-faces=\"false\" data-share=\"false\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"\" title=\"fb:like Facebook Social Plugin\" src=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/v3.2\/plugins\/like.php?action=like&amp;app_id=141565146244486&amp;channel=https%3A%2F%2Fstaticxx.facebook.com%2Fx%2Fconnect%2Fxd_arbiter%2F%3Fversion%3D46%23cb%3Df38d7e8a6dac5e8%26domain%3Dwww.apost.com%26is_canvas%3Dfalse%26origin%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.apost.com%252Ff2e0f2b04ecbda%26relation%3Dparent.parent&amp;container_width=0&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fapostcom-English-1503815046562182%2F&amp;layout=button&amp;locale=en_US&amp;sdk=joey&amp;share=false&amp;show_faces=false&amp;size=large\" name=\"f3de5b6032f1c4\" width=\"1000px\" height=\"1000px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-testid=\"fb:like Facebook Social Plugin\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"article__image lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/image.apost.com\/media\/articletranslation\/2022\/07\/06\/11\/ee3901e6ee6b1014250836bfb3c4377a_500x1.jpg\" data-src=\"\/\/image.apost.com\/media\/articletranslation\/2022\/07\/06\/11\/ee3901e6ee6b1014250836bfb3c4377a_500x1.jpg\" \/><span class=\"article__image--copyright\">For Illustration Purposes Only (With Models) &#8211; istockphoto.com\/Peera_Sathawirawong<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey tell me to leave their house,\u201d OP\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/AmItheAsshole\/comments\/vnl1hw\/aita_for_throwing_them_out_of_a_house_that_we_own\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>. \u201cI lost it, and told them that they had 30 days to get out.
