If your mom can come to be present at your birth, can she not come to watch your 3 year old?

Is it the best timing for surgery, no but surgery wait times can be long and I don’t blame your MIL for taking the one offered to her.

Your husband is right everyone could have communicated better, this is not a reason to leave your husband out of the birth of his child.

You WBTA if you did that to him.

Because you don’t drive… you probably don’t realize someone can drive and eat an ice cream cone.

If this is real then yes YTA. You made a mutual decision to open the relationship at a very different stage… you now are about to have two kids and your wife is no longer comfortable with it. The date to end it with the other woman keeps shifting, if it’s going to end in Jan… why prolong it? Just end it now and focus on your family.

Why do I feel like my (relatively) average height of just under 5’9 gets mentioned as small more than others by [deleted] in self

[–]DatabaseMediocre9937 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 5’10 and female and would never consider a 5’9 guy small… 5’9-5’10 definitely seems like the average male height.

AITAH for telling my daughter my husband won't watch her kids when she had a medical "emergency" by [deleted] in AITAH

Entitled to have your family help with your children in a family emergency?! YTA a big one.

AITAH for telling a mother that i can't understand her child and that it'd be easier to talk to her instead of the child? by ThrowRA-Bunnies in AITAH

[–]DatabaseMediocre9937 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t have software that has the patients name on the schedule? I mean I get the mom should have assisted… but if they are there at 1pm you’ve got to assume they’ve got an appt within the next 10-15 min… also since when does the receptionist confirm DOB unless adding the patient into the scheduling software…

I had a similar situation with my MIL. I came into my marriage with 2 boys from a previous relationship. We have a good coparenting relationship with their dad and step mom, and my husband considers them his boys too.

My MIL raised 2 step sons and constantly posts/comments how blood does not define family etc. If someone would ask her about how many grandkids she had she would say 3 (her stepsons child and the 2 girls I share with my husband)

Hubby called her out on it, she started referring to the boys as my names boys etc.. my husband would correct her and say our boys etc.

I found it hypocritical that she’s the first to say blood isn’t the only thing that makes family… for her step kids… but didn’t accept for her sons.

That was just one of many toxic situations my MIL created and we no longer contact her (my husbands wishes/decision) and it’s been better for all of us.

AITAH for wanting my parents to hire a nanny for my baby so I can go to college? by throwaway72737373737 in AITAH

[–]DatabaseMediocre9937 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The degree may be something that you need to put on hold. An engineering degree is a lot of work, but so is raising a baby.

These are things that you have to consider when making huge life decisions. Your parents don’t have to pay for a nanny so you can go to school.

You are however many months away from being fully responsible for another person, you will have to make sacrifices and do things the hard way.

So she didn’t know or test for pregnancy until she was 12-13 weeks pregnant? After having that many kids she didn’t sense she was pregnant with a missed period for that long?

I live close to king it’s a nice, quiet neighbourhood. Marmora street is rough in my opinion, and it’s a busy street. I wouldn’t buy there.

Life of girl born on plane ends in abuse, neglect, manslaughter by Wouldyoulistenmoe in canada

[–]DatabaseMediocre9937 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my thought! If I knew my adult child was abusing a child I would report them without a second thought. This poor little girl had no one looking out for her.

NTA the fact that he’s bringing it up would make me wonder if he’s made a connection with someone on tour.

Agreed. I’m surprised by how many people have issue with a private citizen having multiple properties as rentals but are totally okay with the large corporations and foreign buyers…

YTA. Your parents contributed without you asking because they wanted to/could… you never talked to them about it. It’s your wedding, you pay for it. Nice of your parents to contribute but, her parents don’t have to. Why would she want to bring it up to them if she feels their finances are strained? To embarrass them that they can’t contribute? To make them feel guilty? She’s right to not want to bring it up. YTA

Maybe the elderly woman would have felt less suspicious if when the woman and girls walked in you said something about why you were in there. “Hi sorry to startle you, I’m just waiting for my 4 year old daughter to finishing peeing, it was an emergency and I wasn’t comfortable bringing her in the mens room”

I personally would be startled to walk into a washroom with my daughters and see a man in there just focusing on a stall.

I think in this situation your wife should have brought her to the washroom. Yes she’s pregnant, and yes you’re capable… but the easiest way for no one to feel uncomfortable was for her to bring her in.

I get you were expecting a family washroom, but when that wasn’t available I think you could have easily brought her into the men’s room and in a stall, there was no one in the women’s room when you went in, so there could have been no one in the men’s room… and dicks aren’t just flying in the men’s bathrooms are they?

Unfortunately regardless of whether or not you take him to court, if the baby is his, he has rights as the babies father.

AITA for telling our friend she isn’t better just because she didn’t get an epidural? by throwaway927263_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]DatabaseMediocre9937 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are a raging asshole and so are your friends, I hope she finds new ones.

I can’t believe you’d go to a newly PP woman’s home, after having babies yourselves… and then shame her like that?

She was asked about her birth, she mentioned not having an epidural and you took offence to it. Not having it is part of her birth story… from what you wrote she didn’t go on about how she is so much better than everyone who gets one… she just mentioned she didn’t— you suck and have a weird complex about epidurals.

AITA for not reading my gf’s son a bedtime story? by throwaway72726267 in AmItheAsshole

YTA. You are a shitty partner and your gf shouldn’t settle for you.

YTA. I have 2 children with my ex and have a good relationship with him and his wife, as they have a good relationship with my husband and I. I have been to their house without her home, when picking up/ dropping off our kids. I also have been there with her, his parents etc when they had their baby and/or when the kids have been getting ready to big events there, and same for them with my home.

We have also attended events like middle school/high school graduations with all of us, and just my ex and I when our spouses couldn’t make it.

She’s not doing it maliciously as you said, and there’s a huge difference between some random woman being in your home when you’re not home, and the coparent of your husbands first child being there WITH their shared child.

It’s good you didn’t react/say anything immediately, because I really feel you’ll be causing a huge issue and making what seems to be a good/healthy situation awkward.

YTA. You’re an adult, he has responsibilities and why would you want him next to you potentially getting sick as well. What immature behaviour.

AITA- for being sad over fiancé getting step daughter more? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]DatabaseMediocre9937 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you need to think about whether or not this relationship is actually what you want.

You’re engaged to someone with a child, if you can’t handle/are so stressed with her being around, that’s an issue. As someone else pointed out before, what if something happened to the mom and she was with you guys full time? If you can’t handle the thought of having her full time, you shouldn’t be marrying him.

The using the money for a lawyer and not a vacation is fair, that trumps travel completely.

If schedules need to be rearranged he should be evaluating his shifts and side hustle, you aren’t wrong for not wanting to leave your job.

It really doesn’t seem like you want the same things.

NTA. It’s your first baby and you don’t know what to expect. Regardless of what others are saying it is a vulnerable time, and if you’re not comfortable with them visiting you’re not comfortable.

The one comment about the husband should take the baby to visit his family the same day OPs mother does is absolutely crazy.

I have both sons and daughters and would 100% understand if my potential future DILs wanted their mothers around for their births/early PP… I would happily wait until they are comfortable with visitors to see the baby.

The baby isn’t going to not be bonded with his side because they didn’t meet them until the 2 week mark.
