They could have started with a real apology

The whole family couldn’t raise 70k for over 10yrs but expect him to get over 70k dollars in 10 years This is the sense of entitlement that is condescending and infuriating I hope the BIL finds it in his heart to heal - he was wronged.

Her and her family is actually trash. They stole and broke his machine and just want him to get over it.

Yall had 10 years to get on a payment plan to pay him back something.

So she thought that causing 70k worth of damage was just something to get over? Y’all could have ATLEAST paid 250 a month for the last 10 years and it would have covered SOME of the damages but yet yall did NOTHING. I’d be mad too shiiit.

Divorce the family. They did him wrong and blaming him after you destroyed his equipment he denied them to use. Accountability doesn’t exist in that family 😏

Your a entitled brat. Period. Whether he needs it or not it’s not your choice if he needs to get over it. Ridiculous. Just because they work harder doesn’t mean you’re right. You forget about principle. If it was you I guarantee you would be pissed. Twenty years later, you’d still be mad. The whole “he could take the hit” is crazy. Your ridiculous.

We're not rich, so we can fuckup your things without your consent and tell you you're fine.

If you are not rich, then you should have done your risk assessment before taking his truck and damaging it, then expect him to let it go. I will take this anger to my grave.

So they couldn’t replace his skid loader, but they expected him to get over it.

The entitlement is crazy They could’ve paid down the debt in the 10yrs

The arrogance to tell someone to get over it or rather shamelessly saying “he doesn’t need it” shows you what type of people they are.

His wife was the initial problem but it seems she’s learned to stand by her man

It’s been 10 years. It should have been paid back

Yeah, this is entitled behavior cause people love saying get over it until it’s something that affects them. They’re lucky he shows so much restraint because he has every right to go after them in civil court then maybe put a lien on their home.

People who tell you to “get over” damage that they cause are entitled, selfish, assholes. BIL is totally justified.

Grounds for divorce. Wife is lucky he didn’t end things for her betrayal.

I hate when people pocket watch other people’s money. To say “They don’t need it” WTF! How would you know if they need it or not?! He already told you NO. Should have respect that.

I imagine it cost the BIL more than $70K to replace the equipment. It was used for work, and if he needed it for a job, he probably had to rent one until the new equipment arrived. Also, they stole it. He told them no. His wife had no business lending them his work equipment.

They should have come up with a plan to pay him back over those 10 years.

Nobody pays cash for that many skid loaders, he was probably still paying for something he couldn’t use anymore.

He said no they went around his back and wrecked his shit so thats on them.

No, you should’ve bought that man who skid loader before you bought yourself a new truck

Better than me I would’ve gave them their daughter back too

This kind of entitlement is all too common in some African families. I feel for the brother-in-law. You don’t get to dictate how someone grieves their loss.

FUCK OP, FUCK HER FAMILY, and FUCK that "WE ARENT RICH ATTITUDE". OP's father and brother destroyed someone else's property and feel like they shouldn't paid the consequences.....FUCK THAT NOISE.

MOTHAFUCKAS LEAN ON THAT FAMILY DYNAMIC ENTIRELY TOO MUCH FAMILY IS DEFINITELY OVERRATED🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

If there’s one thing I hate in this life is Pocket watching.. how the hell you know what someone can or can not afford?? I would cut them off too.. and include the sister if she ever brought it up..

I was leaving that woman too for letting them take my shit without my permission. Fck that whole family

He was RIGHT! Their family is disrespectful and ridiculous. They never apologized or paid him back. -Relly

70k for a skid and trailer is a good price and its what your father and brother cost him. The money they got for the truck and all non emergency medical bills to him. Which is what good moral people would have done. You are an asshole. You're farther is an asshole. You'rebrother2

Taking it without permission is one thing. Taking it against his expressed refusal is something else. I will NEVER let it go. You start with an unreserved apology & a plan to make me whole! You know how to borrow a $70k equipment and after you wreck it, you remember you’re poor

He is right. 70k dollars isn’t a small money. Well, it’s family so he would have to let it go

A skid is fucking too expensive for that bullshit y’all pulled

It's not really the money, it's the deviousness, by going behind the bil's back & manipulating the sister to do something they had no right to do. Then believing they shouldn't have to make good on the damages, these people are so toxic, ✂️them loose.

That loader could still be under lease or a repayment plan. Having multiple loaders does not mean it's 100% owned or gives anyone the right to take it without permission. If they truly needed it, they should have gone elsewhere to rent one. Entitlement mentality
