AITA for letting my niece stay with me after she had a fight with her pregnant sister and her boyfriend?
I (F28) am in a really difficult situation with my family and don't know if I'm handling it like an a**_hole.
I have a sister "Amy" (F36). Amy has three kids but this story mainly involves her oldest two, Alex (F18) and Nina (F16).
Around a month ago, it was announced that Nina is pregnant. She is currently 11 weeks along. The father is a boy from her school, "Leo" (M16).
Alex says that Leo and Nina are constantly rude to her, but especially Leo. She says he calls her a b*tch all the time and expects her to pick up after him.
Last Friday night, Alex called me in tears and said that she had a massive argument with Nina and Leo.
Today, Amy called me and asked me to tell Alex to go home.
I wouldn't feel right turning my niece away and making her return to a home where she seems to get treated like a second class citizen.
🏠 The Aftermath
Alex stayed with me for a few days post-argument to avoid tension at home.
Amy wants Alex to return home to sort things out with Nina and Leo.
This decision has caused a rift between me and my sister.
Sometimes peace comes at a price.
