My entitled sister demands that I give over my son to her so that she can be my son's new mom,

claiming that she deserves to be a mom because my wife and I never planned on having any other

kids in the first place. But as a result, I snapped at my sister in a way that I'm sure she never

expected, resulting in my family saying that I'm the jerk for the way that I reacted.

Here's what happened. This story also came from the Am I the Jerk subreddit. Check the links in the description if you would like to submit your own story. Okay, let me start off by saying that I love my sister, and for the sake of the story we'll call my sister Jenna. She's been there for me through thick and thin, we were raised in a tight-knit family, and despite our occasional squabbles growing up, we've always had a strong bond, or at least I thought we did. But recently, something happened that made me question everything. I'm a 35-year-old male, and I have a 4-year-old son who we will call Liam. He is the light of my life. I wasn't always planning on having kids. I wasn't really against it, but I just didn't see myself as the dad type when I was younger. But things changed when I met my wife, who we will call Sarah, seven years ago. We fell in love, got married, and after some long talks, we decided we wanted to start a family. It took us some time, but Liam came into our lives and I couldn't be happier. My sister Jenna is 38 years old and she, on the other

hand, has struggled with infertility for years. She and her husband, who we will call Mike, have been

1:16.5

tried to conceive for as long as I can remember. They've gone through rounds of IVF, hormone

1:21.2

treatments, and pretty much anything else you could name. I can't even imagine the emotional and

1:25.8

physical toll it's taken on her.

1:27.8

I've tried to be supportive in every way that I could by listening when she needed to talk,

1:32.1

helping her financially when they were going through expensive treatments, and just being

1:35.9

there for her in general.

1:37.3

But here's where things started to get complicated.

1:39.8

Jenna has always had this aura around her.

1:42.1

Like, no matter what, she always got what she wanted. She was

1:45.3

the golden child growing up, and everyone admired her. And in a way, I did too. But there was

1:50.8

always a sense of entitlement, like she expected life to keep rewarding her. So when she and

1:55.5

Mike couldn't conceive, I think it shattered something inside of her. Over time, her behavior

1:59.8

towards Liam began to change.

2:01.6

At first, she was a doting aunt, showering him with gifts, visiting us all the time, offering to babysit

2:07.2

whenever we needed a break. But gradually, her comments became more possessive. She would say things like,

2:12.6

You're so lucky to have him. I wish I could keep him for a few days. Or she would say, if Liam were mine, I would do all these different things with him. Now, I just chalked it up to her frustration with not being able to have kids of her own, and I just kind of let it slide. I didn't want to make things harder for her than they already were. But then, about six months ago, Jenna and Mike announced that they were looking into adoption, and
