My marriage ended because of my ex-husband's cheating with his current wife. We had a 4 year old, 3 year old and 6 month old together at that time. He didn't want to work on things anymore than I did by then. Our divorce was not amicable but I have worked on being civil for my children's sake. My ex-husband's family and I have remained on good terms and I'm actually godmother to three of his nieces and nephews and I'm still Aunt C to the family. This bothers his wife and it has since the very beginning but his family has said I am the mother of his children and I was around for a long time and I have established a family relationship with each of them. My ex-husband suggested his new wife could take over being godmother and then the relationship could end between me and them but that didn't happen. My children enjoy seeing me get along with their father's side of the family. They don't really have any family on my side and it doesn't feel like that as much because I'm still considered part of the family by my former ILs. I love it too because I had such a good relationship with them all. For a year now my ex and his wife have been actively trying to have children together and she has had three back to back miscarriages. The last miscarriage happened days before the birthday of one of my godchildren. I was at the party as was my ex and his wife. She became inconsolable about an hour in because of my presence and the fact she has not been fully accepted into the family. Apparently it was already hard to see me getting along so well with my ex's family and my godchild/the birthday child. But then she claims seeing my kids happy to see me and talking and cuddling with me sent her over the edge because it was like she wasn't my ex's wife and I was still married to him and nothing had changed. My children don't have a close relationship with her. She doesn't get cuddles or the excitement I get or my ex gets, although he gets less because he hasn't been as present for our kids for the last couple of years. This enraged my ex-husband because he insisted that I need to be left out in the future and his family said no. They said he could choose not to come if his wife doesn't like it but I will be invited every time and they will hope I accept every time. He raged at me for going when I knew she had the third miscarriage as well. This wasn't in front of the children for those wondering. We exchanged some harsh words because I asked him why I would give that much consideration to his wife's feelings when we know she never considered mine when she agreed to become the other woman.

I am not The OOP, OOP is u/Quirky-Bad7653 AITA For “lying” to my partner about having kids and laughing about it? Originally posted to r/AmItheAsshole Thank you to u/lostravenblue for suggesting this BoRU & u/xanif for finding the new update TRIGGER WARNING: fertility shaming, Verbal abuse, emotional manipulation, harassment BoRU 1 Original Post Sept 3, 2023 Wayback machine AITA For “lying” to my partner about having kids and laughing about it? So I recently became engaged to my (34f) partner (35M). We met on a dating app 3 years ago and hit it off from the start. 5 years ago I got my fallopian tubes removed. I’ve known I don’t want to give birth since I was 15years old and have never changed my mind. I always said that if a child came into my life I’d love it, but I’m not actively seeking that out. On my dating profile it explicitly states “child-free and infertile” verbatim. At the beginning of our relationship, my now-fiancé regularly referenced other things I put in my profile, so I had assumed he’d read that part and kids never really came up in other convos. Well last night, he mentioned that I should consider stopping my birth control since now we’re engaged, and given our ages, we should start trying for kids. I honestly thought he was joking and laughed. He got frustrated and asked me why I thought it was funny, and I reminded him that the second line of my dating profile said I was ostensibly infertile. He was shocked and called me a liar. I happened to remember that I sent a screen shot of my dating profile to a friend for review around that time and pulled up the old convo with her to show him the time and date, and that indeed it stated I was child-free. I told him I had my tubes taken out so there was no chance of me getting pregnant without outside help (ivf is technically still an option, but I don’t want to put my body through that). He stormed out and his mom called me crying that I’ve ruined his life. His sister sent me a long message about how getting my tubes removed should be illegal and how I’m a monster for stringing my fiancé along. TBH, his family never really liked me because they think I’m beneath him. a cousin told me it’s because I’m fat (true, but I’m also pretty active. Regular walks with my dog, hiking, biking, swimming, paddle boarding, and a little snowshoeing, none of which my fiancé does with me) and a career woman in a male-dominated field, plus we share the household labor 50/50 and I make more money than he does. Because of this I don’t take what they say too seriously but I’m starting to feel bad. His family believes I stole years of his life and ruined future chances of being a father by lying about my fertility status. He asked for space when he stormed out, so I haven’t reached out to him. I do love him, but I’m starting to have serious second thoughts given his families reactions. I realize now that we should have talked about this before, but AITA for how I handled the situation? VERDICT: POST REMOVED BEFORE VERDICT RENDERED Update Sept 3, 2023 Update: So my fiancé came home this morning and I asked him if he wanted to talk. He said there was nothing left to talk about. I asked if he wanted the ring back and he got angry. I’ve never seen him like this and I tried to speak calmly to him but he was just yelling about how I was giving up and wouldn’t even talk to him. I reminded him that I’d asked if he wanted to talk and he said no, to which he responded that he didn’t think I’d “go all crazy over a disagreement.” This was a huge wake up call for me. I asked him why he’d never brought up kids before hand and he said because he knew I would get all weird about it. I tried to get him to clarify but he just kept saying he couldn’t talk to me when I was like this. I swear I never raised my voice and tried to speak calmly the entire time. I told him I can’t have kids, nor do I want any. I don’t want to give birth. That seems like a deal breaker for him, and his family. He said his family had nothing to do with this, and I asked why he told them then? He said because he was hoping they’d talk sense into me. I told him I was ending the relationship and staying with my dad for the time being. This didn’t go over well. I’m still kind of shaking. As I was leaving I asked him how long he’s wanted kids, and he admitted he never thought about it, but he knew I didn’t want any, but now that we were engaged, it wasn’t just about me, he had a say in children. I told him I physically could not get pregnant without IVF, and asked him how he expected that to work? He responded that I didn’t know what I was talking about. I left after that because I just didn’t have the energy to try and convince him, and I didn’t want to further agitate him. When I told my dad everything, he was furious. Apparently when my fiancé spoke to him about proposing (he did not ask permission, both my dad and I are opposed to that tradition. Just basically letting my dad know his plans), my DAD asked him if he was okay never having kids as I’d had my tubes removed (my dad says he specifically brought up my surgery and the impossibility of natural pregnancy). My fiancé told my dad that it’d always be my decision. I’m thankful this happened before we started any of the wedding planning, but it feels like I swallowed a boulder. I know I need to be more adamant in the future about my stance on kids and I promise I will have these discussions with future partners openly and from the start. I blocked his family from messaging me after they added me to a group message and started throwing Bible verses at me and saying that I’m a defective woman for not wanting kids. I don’t have the energy right now to be petty so I just blocked them. My dad is going to help me move my stuff the next couple of days. I need to talk to the landlord and figure out the lease. I’m financially stable enough to pay most of the fees I think but I doubt my now ex-fiancé can afford the rent on his own. The only text I’ve received from him just said “You’ll regret this”. I don’t believe this is meant as a threat, but I’m being cautious just in case. Thank you all for the feedback. It was helpful to understand where I went wrong. This was my first long-term relationship and I fucked up a lot of the communication, but I know it’s not just on me. I tend to be the kind of person that doesn’t like to re-hash things if I feel like we’re on the same page, but with huge decisions like this reiterating is necessary, and people are allowed to change their minds, which means re-hashing is necessary in a healthy relationship. NEW UPDATE Final Update Feb 9, 2026 (2 1/2 years later) FINAL UPDATE: AITA for “lying” to my partner about having kids Hi! So I completely forgot about this account until recently and figured I’d give an update since the story got both crazier and then a bit anticlimactic, and a few people have asked. I’m going to give fake names so it’s easier. Ex-fiancé is Josh. His sister will be Jill. Moving out was pretty easy. Josh wasn’t around but I did find a few of my things in odd places that I suspect was intentional to make me leave them behind. It was quiet for about a week, but then I got called into an impromptu work meeting. My company is fairly small, and I’m in the upper level of the admin team, so it’s not totally uncommon to get meetings with the two owners (a married couple). When I logged on it turned out to be a coaching convo to address my “use of company resources for personal matters.” Apparently Jill had found the company phone number and had been calling the number attempting to get through to me or my supervisor, but the 3rd party company we use to manage that phone number didn’t have my contact (or even really know who I was) because my position isn’t client-facing. I’m usually pretty good under pressure but I really didn’t want to lose my job so I ended up crying and spilling the whole story to my bosses. Turns out they’re both intentionally child-free as well and were incredibly supportive. One of them is retired navy and he asked multiple times if he should pay them a personal visit but his wife just rolled her eyes and told him that would be plan X after all the others failed lol. Long story short I ended up finding an attorney who helped me navigate a protective order. Jill didn’t handle this well and tried to sue me for damages with Josh and their mom. It took a year to actually make it to court and, to no one’s surprise, the suit was dismissed (the judge was VERY displeased by the waste of court resources). I was granted a restraining order for Josh, Jill, and their mom after I presented the evidence of harassment as well as a notarized statement from my company. We also had recordings from the company phone calls but the judge didn’t need them apparently. I blocked all of them and have no idea what’s happening with them now, but they have thankfully left me alone. My dad was really happy to have me as a roommate (I think he’d been lonely lol) so Ive just stayed with him and split his bills. My dog has always loved my dad so she’s in heaven. I haven’t really been dating, but I’ve been taking mixed martial arts classes recently, and I just finished a year of ice skating classes. I’m enjoying having some more free time and perfectly content in being single right now. I know now that there were a lot of things I let slide about Josh and his family that should have been dealbreakers, and I think I would have figured it out sooner than later, but I’m still trying to relearn to trust myself. Until then I’m not in any hurry to date anyone new. Thank you to everyone who commented and offered perspective. It really helped. My best friend and her husband had a fun time going through them all with me lol THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT THE OOP DO NOT CONTACT THE OOP's OR COMMENT ON LINKED POSTS, REMEMBER - RULE 7 submitted by /u/Direct-Caterpillar77 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

I (35F) have a complicated relationship with both my father and his wife “Denise” (fake name) for several reasons, some of which relate to my half-brother, “Jake” (9yo). There’s a lot of backstory here, but to sum things up: Jake exists because Denise wanted a baby and my father was upset that both his daughters were moving out. They expected me and my sister (29yo) to have an active role in caring for Jake. That wouldn’t be possible for either of us, but they continued to assume we’d give in. We didn’t, which led to multiple fights that soured my relationship with our father. Denise also got mad at me for “refusing to be her village.” I got pregnant with my first child when Jake was still a baby, which made her even more angry that I wouldn’t help her as much as she wanted. Things at their household aren’t great. Jake isn’t well-behaved. My father is not a very active parent, though he is more present than he used to be. And the older Jake gets, the more Denise loses interest in parenting. They never stopped trying to get me to help take care of their son. To this day, whenever they need a babysitter, they call me first, even though I’m almost never able to do it. They’ve tried multiple things over the years, but most of their current strategies concern my children, “Sam” (8M) and “Katie” (4F). My kids do not get along with Jake, but not for lack of trying on my father and Denise’s part. They’ve tried setting up “playdates” (AKA Denise dumping Jake on me and my kids while she went shopping), making them share a room on family vacations, and my father even considered changing Jake to Sam’s school a few years ago. Every time there’s an opportunity to make the kids spend time together, they push for it. That brings us to now. My husband and I are planning a trip to France with our children in September to celebrate Katie’s 5th birthday. We don’t travel much and the trip will include Disneyland Paris, so the kids are thrilled. My father found out and decided to propose that we bring Jake with us. He said he’d pay for “all” the expenses (flights and hotels) so that his son could go to Europe with my family. I said no, we wanted the trip to be just us and our kids. He kept insisting that Jake would love going to Disney with us, that he and Denise really wanted some “nice, child-free time,” and that they’d appreciate it if I took care of my little brother like a good sister. We had an argument, and I ended up losing my patience. I told my father that he needs to accept that Jake is not my responsibility and never will be, and that he and Denise should have thought about their “child-free time” before having a child. My father is furious. He accused me of saying I wished Jake was never born (I didn’t), and called me an ungrateful brat for refusing to take care of my brother. Denise later called me to yell a few insults as well. I don’t think I’m in the wrong for refusing to bring Jake along, but I’m not proud of what I said to my father. My husband is on my side, but thinks I was too harsh. Edit: I didn't explain this clearly enough, but my father only offered to pay for Jake's flights and whatever extra accommodation costs were needed for him to stay with us. He did not offer to fly my whole family to Europe. Update submitted by /u/PianistHoliday3484 to r/AITAH [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, I have a 10 yo boy and an 8 yo girl, and lately I feel like I’m constantly trying to come up with activities to keep kidds busy at home 😅 They usually just play games together, but it gets boring pretty fast and then it’s back to “there’s nothing to do” A few things that have actually worked a bit better for us: Just Dance / YouTube dance videos (they both enjoy that) little challenges or competitions between them my son is really into football, so we got him an FPRO training mat - he loves it and uses it a lot, and my daughter usually just copies him and joins in What I like about these activities is that they can use it indoors and it doesn’t need much space. But yeah, still feels like I’m repeating the same ideas all the time, so don't want them to get bored again. Would love to hear what actually works for your kids, especially something a bit more creative 🙏 (ofc we going outside to the park or with bikes when we all have more time, but we don't have big backyard) Thanks in advance :)) submitted by /u/Hour_Excuse_3683 to r/AskParents [link] [comments]

I have been my son's dad since he was one. He is twenty seven now. I was friends with his mom for years before she got pregnant and the biodad took off. I was around helping her with stuff and one thing lead to another and we got together. It wasn't really planned or anything it just happened. Her and I cared for each other deeply but it wasn't some huge romantic story. We were a partnership. We got married when Mark was three and I adopted him when he was five. Tammy took care of Mark, me, and my house. I worked and paid for everything. It was a good life. I had never wanted kids but I loved Mark and gave home everything I could. Not just material goods. I was there for him growing up. I attended all his extracurricular activities that I could. I taught him how to ride a bike and how to change his oil. We took him my on vacations. I made sure that when he graduated from university he was debt free. He was always a good kid. University changed him. He became distant. He would call to talk to his mom but not me. It turns out he met a girl who had been adopted and she had baggage she decided to share with him. He had contacted his biological father and I was being displaced. Mark was everything to Tammy and she supported him in everything. As his mom I would expect no less. But it still hurt to be cut out of his life. When Tammy got sick mark and I would see each other when he came to see her but we would barely talk. When she passed away I saw him at the funeral and then only heard from him to settle her estate. Which was not much. She had a very small life insurance policy that she left Mark. Everything else was mine. Her bank account only had the money we budgeted for her. There wasn't much in it because she had been subsidizing Mark's life since he graduated. Like clockwork every month I would deposit her share of our budget and most of it went to him. Tammy and I had a separate life insurance policy that we set up. It was more substantial than the other one. We originally set them up in case anything happened to us the other could have money to live and take care of Mark. I was the beneficiary since I was paying for it. Now that his mom is gone and not helping pay his bills Mark is calling me for help. I said no. I said he had the money from his mom's life insurance. Everything else is quite literally mine. Even the car she drove was leased by me. He is upset with me and said that I obviously had never thought of him as a son if I was willing to do this. I told him to ask his biodad for help since that's who he wanted in his life. His wife, Sarah, the girl from university called me and said that I would be cut out of their lives and that I would never see my grandchildren. They don't have kids yet but I suppose they are planning on a family. I told her that I was okay with that. And I am. I miss Tammy but I'm okay. I have my dogs and my job. I see my sisters and their kids and grandkids. I'm involved in their lives. So am I the asshole for cutting off financial support to a full grown man with a job and a wife? submitted by /u/Unlucky-Bit6839 to r/AITAH [link] [comments]

The Purge The main kid is pretty weird and creepy, which isn’t a huge deal, but he then unlocks his home security system to save a random homeless guy from a gang of killers. This is a kind act I guess, but it’s completely stupid, endangers the family and ultimately leads to his dad’s death. The Babadook This kid is absolutely unbearable for the entire movie. He’s loud, annoying and even down right dangerous to other kids his age. He gets a slight pass for the grief he’s going through, but when his Mom was possessed and trying to kill him, I low key wanted her to finish the job. The Santa Clause 2 This kid is in tears about not being able to tell his friends that his dad is santa,as is generally just spoiled and entitled the whole time. He’s acting out over the dumbest stuff and he’s just there to make whatever his dad is dealing with more difficult. submitted by /u/Party_Bowl_330 to r/TopCharacterTropes [link] [comments]
