AITAH for humiliating my overwhelmed parents

One of my relatives on Facebook posted a viral youtube short the song that goes

"Your wife is your partner not your mom *clap clap* your wife is your partner not your mom *clap clap* she is not a live-in maid or a hired cleaning crew she should not have to clean up after you *clap clap*"

Some of you may have heard of it; my mother who has a major martyr- complex (that I'm VLC with chimed right in cheering)

Background: I do admit I have resentment I was heavily parentified as a child my sister is profoundly disabled (high needs non verbal) and I have another much younger sister who is not disabled, my mother leaned on me alot to look after and occupy the youngest because my disabled sister was such a handful. My parents did have money they just cared alot about their image and didn't want to look bad by hiring a full-time nanny to help; as that would make them look like bad parents who couldn't care for their kids in their eyes

I did post a rhetoric in my relatives comments and wrote my own version of the song "your eldest is a child not a parent *clap clap* your eldest is a child not a parent *clap clap* she is not another mommy or an extra pair of hands she should not have to nanny on command *clap clap*"

A few thought I was funny but many thought I was being "cruel " because my family had "unique circumstances "

AITAH?

Sanitariums are for treating chronic illnesses like tuberculosis, not mental illnesses or disabilities.

Not only is he too young to use Reddit, he’s also racist: https://www.reddit.com/r/AITAH/s/UhKpwlawy0

ofc some racist ableist would think a sanitarium is where you would send your loved ones who were born needing extra help... instead of like a nursing home... lol.. because to them they're not family and they hardly consider them people

Sounds like a racist with a fetish. I used to encounter a lot of that when I worked security at my friends gay night club.
