She is taking credit for it

[Anonymous]

My son is 27 and his GF is 23 they have been dating 4 years and my son decided to move down south from up north because he is a truck driver and he always loved delivering down south. A year and a half later his gf moved down to be with him. They got engaged. My son recently bought a house and he put it in his name since his fiance's preschool teaching job pays 2x less than my son's job. So buying this house was all my son's doing.

Well lo and behold I log into social media and I see that his fiance tagged my son and said how happy they are at the purchase of their new home. She had nothing to do with the purchase of the home. If she wasn't in the picture my son would have still bought this house because it was all his money. AITA for feeling annoyed that my FDIL is taking credit on social media for something that was my son's doing.

I want to talk to my son privately about it how he shouldn't let his fiance take credit for his accomplishments. How he needs to look out for himself as well.

Stay out of it or you are going to alienate your son and future grandkids. Also this wouldn’t bother me. He’s an adult

They are a couple, happy for their new home. Unless you paid for this home, its none of your business. No?

I'm trying to imagine pettier shit than this, but having trouble.

I agree with pp, I think it's weird that you're bothered. If he isn't, why should you?

Don't be that petty, nitpicky, judgmental and critical MIL.

If they're happy, simply let them be, and let them be happy.

I hope you earned as much or more as your spouse for the entirety of your marriage.

On a second thought even if you paid for it and its your house, its still their home since they'll be living there. She just won't have any legal rights as its not in his name. If she's with him for 4 years and engaged to be married, isn't it about time to accept her presence in his life?

OP here. I just think if she is taking credit for something this big that my son has accomplished what else will she bulldoze his credit for?

I'm not sure if my son is deep down bothered by it. I understand he is an adult but as his mother I will still worry and want him to get credit where credit is due. I was sure to send him a little something for himself to congratulate him on his new home.

But I will not address it with him personally what his fiance put on FB because I don't wanna alienate my son.

Op. You need a reality check.

They're engaged and she bought a house with him. It doesn't matter who earned the money.

When they have kids, be sure to mention that they're all hers, he can't take credit for them. All he contributed was one Y chromosome. That's nothing

Technical question: If he bought it before marriage and she isn't on title, would it be considered a marital asset or premarital asset for divorce purposes?

You are just revolting.

Let me make this easy for you…if she doesn’t already hate you, she soon will (she is justified in her hatred)…your son will side with her, when you wonder why they don’t visit and why you’re not invited to see future grandchildren, check yourself, it’s because you’re a petty, hateful witch.

Your son is 27. You should have landed that controlling helicopter a decade ago, mom.

You very much need to MYOB. And this obsession with "getting credit" is creepy.

This is ridiculous. If this is real and not a troll, I feel so badly for the DIL.
A preschool teacher, which is as needed and important to all of us as truck drivers. Both jobs help larger society, are difficult and underpaid.

He makes a lot more because he has a job that requires constant travel. What happens when they have kids and he's on the road two weeks out of every month and she's on her own with the kids? You still going to be hounding him about how he pays for everything with his job?

Do you know whose idea it was to buy? Who put the legwork in on finding the house? Who will get it set up once they move in? Also just because they did the mortgage in hys name doesn't mean she won't be contributing to it. She's gainfully employed.

You sound like an a$$. She is gonna HATE you, and it's going to be all your fault.
