UPDATE: AITA for telling my brother to stop coming unannounced and changing the locks?

Hello again! I just wanted to start by saying thank you all for your judgments on my last post. I read every comment and gave each perspective some thought. Ultimately you guys helped me gain the confidence to stand up for myself and ask for our robot back!

First, please read my original post:https://aita.pics/iasTt

‘ UPDATE: AITA for telling my brother to stop coming unannounced and changing the locks?’

I included my text conversation with my brother Chris in the comments of my last post. To summarize, I asked as politely as I could for our mopping robot back as well as stated the reasonings why it belonged to us. Chris refused to see reason and pretty much said he would be cutting me out of his life if I kept bringing this up.

My wonderful BF couldn’t sit back and let him be disrespectful to us anymore. He had his own conversation with Chris, which for privacy reasons cannot be shared. BF ended up taking some of your guys advice and threatened to reveal specific information to our family if our robot was not returned on Thanksgiving. This was last Thursday, so he had one week to make a decision.

After a quiet week I was preparing myself to drop a bomb on family dinner. But then, I went out to start warming up my car Wednesday night and there was a box on my front step. I didn’t order anything and as I picked up the box noticed it wasn’t sealed.

GUYS OUR ROBOT FRIEND FOUND HIS WAY HOME! I guess Chris decided that a mopping robot was not worth ruining his reputation with our family. He will not be bothering us anymore, and we will be low/no contact from now on.

Now a positive from all this drama! BF and I are utilizing our new home monitoring cameras to watch our pets. Our dogs and cats activities while home alone are so entertaining it’s brought us a lot of joy to check in on them. Family photo will be posted in comments of pets and robot! Have a great holiday season everyone!

See what others had to share with OP:

StAlvis −  I guess Chris decided that a mopping robot was not worth ruining his reputation with our family. I’m just shocked that a child already kicked out for d**g use **_has_** a reputation to ruin!

DwigtSchruteBeets −  Family photo post! 

houseonpost −  “He will not be bothering us anymore,”. Oh, honey.

dumblederp6 −  Now tell everyone his secrets. E: Because he’s probably spreading stories about you.

friendlily −  Glad you got it back but does it still work?

J-littletree −  I’m happy you got it back! He never even bought the items in needed to work and never used it so him thinking it was his was a lil crazy.

PotLuckyPodcast −  Do you have a brand name for the mopping robot?
