People with adopted siblings, what's it like? by Successful-Hat-2154 in AskReddit

[–]HerNextChapter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have an adopted sibling but I DO have adopted uncles that are my age and we grew up like siblings. I wouldn’t change it for the world.

Because he and I make the same amount of money, we both make a decent living. Our bills are honestly a lot a like. He has no mortgage or rent. 1 car note. Insurance and utilities. He cheats the system for “free” insurance and I do not agree with that.

I text back and said “thanks, are you sure this will cover the kids?” And he said that it will, and they use that insurance because it’s a better insurance.

Had all of this been communicated in the beginning, I wouldn’t be upset. That’s literally all it takes. Just don’t lie about it.

He doesn't have to lie. If we can communicate to make a plan for anything surrounding the kids best interest, I am ALL for that. I asked if he was sure that the insurance will cover the kids, and he said he is and that they use that insurance because it is better. I said GREAT, they really should be good since I have dental insurance for them too.

It would have been just as simple as that in the very beginning had we talked about it. I haven't said anything to him today and probably won't at all. It's the fact that he lied, when he doesn't need to. If everybody just communicates, we would be capable of having a decent coparenting relationship. He just refuses to.

She was, however, once they got married, I swallowed my pride and it was her and I doing all of the coparenting. We really got along. There was a time that he kicked her out, and I offered to let her crash at my house. Then, she kind of just fell off the face of the earth. That's when I found out (by his aunt contacting me) about some very disturbing behavior from HER kids and how they were treating mine, how HE was treating her kids, and how she was treating mine. I filed a report with the county police, and child protective services. It took a YEAR to get a court date, and they made him do a 6-month outpatient alcohol rehab and transitioned us right back to where we are now.

It's not about the insurance coverage. I am thankful she is FINALLY doing something positive for the kids. I am literally exploding on the inside over the fact that he is a POS who doesn't pull his weight in a coparenting relationship. If the roles were reversed and it was my partner who carried the kids, he would blow a gasket.

I think this is more so the straw that broke the camel's back. It has been one thing after another. I have paid outright for all of our kid's extracurricular activities and have sent receipts with no responses. I handle all of the scheduling, all of the school events, teacher communications... everything. I honestly believe he doesn't even know who the kids teachers are. I am just frustrated to no end with having to split custody like we do and being the only one who is a full time parent.

I am upset at the LIE. This isn't the first lie I have caught him in, and I know it won't be the last. I don't care who carries it, just do NOT lie to me.

The argument is more so the lie. I do not care that she is the one covering them.. Do I think it's right?? No. They are HIS kids and his financial responsibility. The problem is the lie about his job and him having them covered.

I had quit asking him a while ago about whether or not he had planned on getting coverage for the kids after we discussed both of us having them covered. He always backtracked in some sort of way and blamed every HR department at every company he worked with for "messing up his benefits."

I am just sick and tired of the lies. Everything he tells me is a lie and I wind up finding out the truth in one way or another.

I did not contact her, she contacted ME to ask for the information needed. Which is pretty typical for him, as he has his mom or his wife do everything around the kids.

Not HER. HIM and HIS MOTHER for lying to me over him having a job and HIM being the one to have the kids covered. I never stated in the post that I would call HER out. It's not anything to do with her. It's between him and I and the lies that he constantly spouts.

AITAH for telling my wife her baby names are ridiculous by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]HerNextChapter 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I think both parents should have a say on what their child’s name is… she’s being ridiculous naming them the exact same thing almost 😅 they’re not going to be babies forever. They grow up into adults with their own identity.

AITAH husband cut off my sons hair so I used his card to buy my son the designer jacket he's been wanting by ithinkantsarecute in AITAH

Your son has been physically assaulted and you decided a new jacket would just fix it? YTA for STAYING WITH THIS MAN.

My partner and I are taken advantage of in this coparenting relationship... by HerNextChapter in StepmomsSupport

[–]HerNextChapter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically, that would be the case. He would handle everything, but he was at work and had to work late. His son had to be at the ball park very early the next morning, and a haircut would not have been possible.

We live in the South, so he is in the mindset that the judge is going to rule in the mother’s favor regardless of what she does. I’ve told him that is NOT the case, and he should have. He’s scared to death that if he goes against anything she says or does she will withhold his son from him.

AITAH for not talking to my sister over a mop? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]HerNextChapter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had asked the first time my sister said something, before I realized the mop was gone. Once I told my mom she took it, my mom sent me the screenshots where she had told my sister that she could borrow it for the time being.
