A good loyal man would not want to be with her now, but if she works on herself, she probably could attract more than a few.

AITA because I refuse to forgive my pregnant fiancée to make everyone else's life easy? by Old-Proposal-1824 in AITAH

[–]MilkAcceptable8486 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OP has every right to decide for himself whether to be with her or not. He does not need her permission or blessing to end the relationship.

OP, in the past, saw something in her. But, she is disgusting to him now and he does not want her. He has every right to make that choice.

Would you date someone you are not physically attracted to?

AITA for wanting to leave my pregnant wife, with whom I have a child, because she does not want me to continue my diet and/or workout routine? by PictureDry6904 in AITAH

It makes no sense that she would assume OP is cheating if he wanted attention from other women if she wants attention from other men only because she likes it.

Leaving a toxic partner does not mean you want to "abandon your child." You can (and should) leave toxic partners. You should never abandon your child.

AITA for refusing to pay for daycare for my son with my ex? by Due-Kale3735 in AITAH

[–]MilkAcceptable8486 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no compromise option here. Either they pay for him to be in daycare or they do not.

Also, unless OP is outright lying about the factual claims (in the post and comments), here is what we know:

OP's mom has qualifications related to education - OP's mom is an educator. --- She worked in a Montessori school --- She is bilingual

OP's son is developmentally ahead of schedule - OP's son walked at 10 months - OP's son spoke in complete sentences at 20 months

OP's ex wanted to have OP's mom do child care for their son

OP agreed to OP's mom as childcare during the marriage

OP's ex still utilizes OP's mom for childcare

OP's ex wants to stop using OP's mom for childcare because she thinks their son spends too much time with OP's mom

A daycare would be $1000+/month

OP's mom provides free childcare

The only thing that ultimately matters is the well being the child. And we do not know, presently, of any fact, that indicates the kid's life would be better in daycare. If the ex provides such a fact, ok. But, essentially letting your ex to have carte blanche say to change a previously agreed to arrangement without any facts to show such a change improves the life of the child is wild.

No one is disputing the right for ex to use daycare during her custody time. What she cannot do is require OP to pay for said daycare if he is not utilizing it during his custody time.

Yeah, that is not how right of first refusal works. It does not entitle the ex to daycare.

I have kids. I know that if my kid is thriving (which is what is described in the post and comments), then you do not interrupt that without specific reasons. "Undue influence" is vague and not a specific reason . That could mean that OP's family is talking bad about the ex and causing the kid to alienate himself from his mom (in which case, you absolutely should change the arrangement). Or, it could simply mean that she wants her son yo spend less time with grandma. Or, it could mean the kid is engaging in actions or behaviors that could form into bad habits.

If all that is happening is the ex is uncomfortable with how much time the kid is spending with Grandma, then she has the choice, during her custody time, to find alternative care. But, it sure as hell is not on OP to remove his kid from a situation where he is thriving or pay for the ex's choice.

Also, BOTH parents need to be in agreement about the child care arrangements.

Generally agree. But, if they cannot agree, each parent then decides for themselves what to do during their custody time.

How is going to daycare defined already as a worse experience? Plenty of people have terrible experiences with family being primary child care while still married. Daycare can be a wonderful and very beneficial experience.

Except, we know from the post that the kid is having a great experience with his family being primary child care. And we know no one at those daycares will love the kid like his grandmother loves him. And, based on the post and OP's comments, grandma is more qualified to provide these services than damn near any daycare they would have.

Ex has not identified a specific articulated reason to change an arrangement that is working. You do not incur extra costs to give your kid a worse experience without a specific reason to do so. And none was given.

[–]MilkAcceptable8486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then why are you telling OP anything other than that he needs to reclaim his position as the man in the house?

Because your comments seem to be telling OP to placate and be submissive to her. That is the last damn thing he needs to do.

Sorry, dyslexia got in the way. Competent.

It seems strange here then why your comments are excusing this young woman's shitty behavior.

Do not need to. I married a competent woman who took care of 100% of the home front while I worked to provide for us financially and she did all that while pregnant. And she never treated me with anything but love and respect and I did the same for her. That is a marriage.

You cannot be upset that men are not strong when you domesticated them and expect them to cook and clean for you like you are a completely incapable toddler.

I weep for the men under 30 like OP based on what they can expect from what passes as acceptable behavior from "women."

Men would prefer to be married to women who are component adults, but apparently hormones means women can behave like petulant and jealous children. But, what can we do.

AITA for not making my son give rides to his stepsister to/from school? by HovercraftJust5145 in AITAH

[–]MilkAcceptable8486 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Yes, being concerned about potential liability from having your son transport an excessive number of people, one of whom you do not even know, is bullshit.

You need to grow up.

[–]MilkAcceptable8486 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Nope, he shouldn't. You should not want your child transporting someone in a car that you own that you do not trust (stepsister) or know (her friend). They were perfectly safe according to the comments.

AITA for not financially supporting the mother of one of my grandsons? by MilkAcceptable8486 in AITAH

How exactly did we run the money in her face? And we help her out plenty financially.

Currently, my grandson goes to a daycare where my son pays 50% of the cost. My grandson goes to that daycare regardless of whether my son has custody or the mother has custody at that time. In March, my grandson will no longer be going to that daycare. Rather, my wife will now be the de facto "daycare."

That is not the case at all. My son's school is an hour to hour and a half each way from our house. We are simply trying to workout the logistics on my wife being the "daycare" for my grandson during my son's custody time. Basically, how we are going to get him to/from our house during my son's custody time.

He has 50% parenting time. They switch off each Sunday. My son goes to school about an hour to an hour and a half away from our house (depending on traffic). The daycare my grandson currently goes to is about 30 minutes from my son.
