You don't have to have experienced the events of the last story to just KNOW it's a nightmare scenario. You're SEVEN, so like first grade in the States, your mother is screaming in pain with a baby coming out, a literal newborn crying behind you, and NO ONE around to help you?? Come on, he doesn't have to be a genius to take two seconds and realize that MAY not have been pleasant for her.

Final story: Op definitely should've worded it better, but being a child and having to help your mom deliver your sibling is genuinely stressful and traumatic, so to me she's 100% NTA.

Final story... OP is okay to find that day traumatic, but words have weight. Like... "look your speech was sweet but that day was traumatic and scary to me. I'd rather not think about it too much"

No no no. I'm autistic with generalized panic disorder and that's just being a Karen. She is used to being coddled. I may be low support but there is no freaking way I would act like that in public because the world is not all about me.

First Story, NTA: I immediately thought "this is scam" the moment OP said his wife had to PAY to get sales. I immediately thought this was a pyramid scheme and I’m glad it was confirmed. OP needs to get his wife out of that and into a real job

Story 3: NTA. Oh boo f**king hoo! OP'S parents did it to themselves because of the favouritism, they have NO room to be angry at OP for refusing to help, none, zilch. And who is the sister to say OP was being unfair? If anyone's being unfair, it's THEM! Her for accusing you of being unfair, and your parents for not loving you both equally. Stand your ground OP, they are massive hypocrites who did this bullsh*t to themselves.

If she has enough mental bandwidth to complain while having a panic attack I question the validity of the panic attack
