AITA for not hiring my DIL becuase she is helpless
Long time lurker and need advice. I am also very annoyed right now.
I own a business and I am proud to say I employee over 100 people. It is something I started over 30 years ago.
My DIL is helpless or just spoiled. It might actually be a combination of the two. She has been a stay at home mom for the pass 7+ years. The kids are now old enough that they are all in school and she is looking to go back to work.
She used to be a server but when she married my son stopped all together. She dropped out of college because of her failing grades. My DIL is very beautiful but she doesn’t seem to have much going on in her head. I know it is harsh to say but I had to literally help her fill out basic document multiple timess. I have gotten multiple calls to answer simple questions many times.
If she plans something it is going to be a mess. Every single time her plans have fallen apart due to bad planning. Example: her kids birthday party, she never booked the trampolines place for the party. So they don’t have a room and all the decorations had nowhere to go.
She can’t fill up her own gas, or she just refuses too? She has asked me before to go get her gas for her car and apparently my son does that often. I can go on and on.
The problem is she wants to go back to work and not as a server. She wants a career. My son asked me if I was willing to give her a job. I asked to talk to her and when on the phone with her asked about her resume. She doesn’t have one…
I told her no, becuase it is clear she is unqualified. My sons got back on the phone and we got into an argument.
He told me this is unfair since he gave his sister ( my daughter) a job.
During Covid, I gave my youngest daughter a job at the company because she was out of work. She was qualified for the job ( actually over qualified, she has a masters) the investment paid off becuase she worked her ass off. She also went through multiple interviews before hand and started at the bottom of the food chain.
I told him that wasn’t the same thing and his sister wasn’t helpless. He asked to jsut make her a secretary or something and I told him no again.
He is pissed. My husband agrees with me on this, but I know it will mess with our relationship
