I am well aware that statement sounds really dumb. However, it seems that parents who put weird restrictions on their children are considered good and caring while the ones who actually try to understand what is going on in their kid’s lives somehow ‘come off‘ as creepy. Especially if it is the father. I could never understand the fact that if a mother hugs their child, it is seen as adorable but if a father does it, some people give him the side-eye.
That is exactly what happened in the following story. You see this guy tried to help his sister when she fell on some hard times. He gave her and her daughter a roof over their head. And she repaid him by being a right pain in the**. She crossed several lines when she stuck her nose in things that didn’t pertain to her and had many opinions on his parenting style. As you can expect, he didn’t take that too well and snapped when he had enough.

“Apologize and do not stick your nose between me and my daughter,” said immediately after sticking her nose between him and his son’s parenting, freedoms, and expression of normal healthy human father-son love. THE NERVE!
NTA. Thanks for standing up for your son and for normalizing sharing affection with him and for being a loving accepting father. You’re a hero. –RinoTheBouncer
Jumping on this one because yeah! Those sound like all of the sorts of comments my homophobic family would make. I feel for the situation your sister is in, but PLEASE PLEASE get her away from your son!
They might seem small but comments like that kept me in the closet for a long long time and really affected my self-worth. The other “gay cousin” in the family was straight-up suicidal after dealing with our most homophobic Aunt. The small digs like that add up to make you feel unnatural. Put her up in a motel if you’re feeling charitable! But get her away as soon as you can and watch her closely around your son!
NTA Wish I had parents like you. –Human_Pickle_2362
