Woman Tells Sister Not To Use Her Daughter To Patch Up For Her Bad Decision Making, Gets Supported Online
Every day, hundreds of decisions—both large and small—are made by people. Even though some of these decisions work out well, it's likely that not all of your decisions will be wise ones.

Later on, you could question why you made some choices, especially if they didn't work out well or made you feel bad. Naturally, you will still occasionally make poor decisions, but you can learn more about the thought process that goes into these occasionally illogical conclusions.
Bad decisions are caused by a variety of circumstances. Making better decisions in the future might be facilitated by having a greater understanding of how these processes operate and shape your thinking.
In today's story, a mom was accused of making quite poor decisions about the type of men she went for. So the OP of today's story has a sister, and they both have daughters of the same age.
OP's niece, Robyn, lost her dad when she was six. OP's sister struggled with the idea of being single and ended up dating a lot.
At that time, Robyn and OP's daughter, Skye, grew very close. When Robyn was 13, OP's sister met Jim, and they got married six months later.
Robyn told her mom she never loved her dad, and she was disgusted by her. Things got worse when they had a baby and Robyn drifted farther away.
The OP's'sister tried getting Skye to talk to Robyn, but the OP had to intervene at some point.

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the a-hole:
I told my sister she could not use my daughter to make up for her bad decision making. What I said does sound very judgmental and I do believe my sister made some very bad decisions. This might be wrong of me when I have never been in her shoes. So I feel like these are reasons I might be the asshole as well as getting so annoyed with her trying to involve my daughter.

"I think she wanted a husband and she didn't want to be reminded of the past. She wanted that nuclear family unit so many strive to create. Robyn is not playing along with that," OP reveals.
Well, OP's sister needs to deal with her issues instead of expecting a teenager to make a difference. The OP was declared not the AH and that's a wrap!
