This 34-year-old man and his Wife, also 34, are child-free. One year ago, his brother Mack, 28, began a relationship with Heather, 30. Heather has three children from a previous relationship.

She has a 12-year-old daughter named Anna and two sons who are 6 and 8-years-old. Heather’s sons are well-behaved. Anna, however, is another story.

Apparently, Anna is unruly and stubborn, and she seems to misbehave on purpose to make people angry. Heather doesn’t correct her behavior, either.

He and his wife own a camp on a lake, and each year, they plan a huge barbeque for the whole family to get together for the weekend.

This time, Mack, Heather, and Heather’s kids were all at the get-together. Unfortunately, Anna was disruptive the entire weekend. She started fights, threw fits, and hit people.

“And Heather just stood back saying, ‘I don’t know why she acts like that,’ rather than do anything to correct her kid. My wife was getting noticeably more furious as the hours progressed,” he said.

The situation intensified yesterday while everyone was talking and drinking coffee on the deck. While they were trying to relax, Anna wouldn’t leave to go play with her brothers despite being told repeatedly to do so. Anna kept inserting herself into the adults’ conversations and interrupting them.

To make matters worse, Anna started swatting flies right at the table where the adults were sitting, and she knocked their coffees over with the fly swatter multiple times.

“Anna was also smacking my wife with the swatter repeatedly, saying there were flies on her when there weren’t. My wife at one point looked at Heather and said, ‘Either get your kid out of here or I’m going to lose it,'” he explained.

When Heather and Mack refused to intervene, his wife told Anna to stop multiple times. At one point, she took the fly swatter away, but Anna taunted his wife and got a new fly swatter.

Several other adults at the table also asked Anna to stop and pleaded with Heather to do something.

After Anna knocked over his wife’s coffee with the fly swatter, his wife got herself a new cup of iced coffee (his wife doesn’t drink hot coffee). Immediately after his wife settled back down at the table, Anna knocked over her coffee again.

During the chaos, he asked his brother a few times to tell Anna to leave them alone, but to no avail. Heather told Anna to go play, but, of course, Anna once again didn’t listen.

“Well, Anna comes right back in and slaps my wife on the forehead with the swatter and says, ‘Bug, missed him,'” he shared.

“My wife took her coffee (her third one that she had just made. Again, cold) and flung it at Anna, covering her. Anna immediately starts crying, and Heather flips out.”

“So does my brother. Heather said that my wife was an immature brat and that ‘Anna’s just a kid.’ My wife calmly puts her cup down and continues the conversation like nothing happened as Anna, Heather, and Mack are all flipping out. But then Heather says, ‘Do you have anything to say for yourself?’ And my wife says, ‘Don’t let the door hit you and your spoiled brat on the way out.”

While he took his wife’s side, some of the other adults who were present for the ordeal felt like his wife should say sorry for throwing her coffee at Anna.

In his opinion, his wife shouldn’t have to apologize because she was being pestered by Anna while hosting guests on their own property while paying for the entire weekend themselves.

He pointed out that at 12-years-old, Anna should have been old enough to know that the way she was behaving was inappropriate.

He doesn’t believe that the responsibility should have been on his wife to remove herself from the situation – he thinks that the blame should be completely on Heather for not stepping in to stop Anna’s behavior.

Do you think his wife was wrong for throwing her coffee at Anna?
