Suppose you are going through a very difficult phase in your life, your wife has left you, and you don’t have a home anymore, if a relative allows you and your children to live in their house till you sort something up, you shouldn’t consider them any less than an angel. That relative should always remain in your good books and the day you get back on your feet, you should be the one always looking out for that relative just in case they need anything. But this brother-in-law decided to be extremely ungrateful and entitled after his sister and her husband decided to let him and his two daughters stay at their home when he got divorced and lost his home as well.
Reddit user u/OnlyInQuebec9 shared that his brother-in-law’s daughters, as soon as they moved in started poking noses into his daughter’s, Zoey, stuff. From toys to makeup, they would enter her room and would leave only after everything is ruined. This annoyed OP a lot but the BIL as well as his wife didn’t seem to have any issue with it. This kept happening as OP finally decided to lock Zoey’s room making BIL’s daughters permanently stop from entering her room and ruining her stuff. OP told his wife he will only unlock the room after the BIL and his daughters leave the house.
For protecting his daughter’s privacy OP got declared an AH. So he decided to take the matter to the sacred community members of the infamous subreddit “Am I The A$$hole?” to know if what he did was right or wrong.

8. I don’t think you are supposed to call the very person’s daughter “detective” in whose house you are staying.

Okay now this is where the brother-in-law has completely ruined his case for me, and I really hope for every single one of you as well. Brother, how entitled do you think you are to something like that to a person’s daughter who gave you a place to live? Besides, he said Zoey shouldn’t be allowed to use such stuff then why did his girls play with it and ruin the makeup? This guy is so freaking two-faced and I hate him for it.
9. BIL also called OP overprotective and babying his daughter, from which he should refrain from.
