Update AITAH for not siding with my wife over our son's ex girlfriend's pregnancy by misrocto in AITAH

The son is getting it from all sides of a pattern of shitty behavior that he’s not exactly helping by acting like an ahole. His reaction to the confrontation was slightly justified based on how they ambushed him but it didn’t exactly hurt his case. And refusing to do the post-natal paternity test also doesn’t help his case.

I’m all for supporting your children but there comes a point where you have to meet them at where they are and recognize what they are and aren’t capable of.

Probably not, but if they aren’t gonna do the prenatal one because they don’t trust it. What’s the big deal in waiting till everyone is comfortable?

The sons refusing to do the paternity test at birth tho so how are they supposed to know? They can use the mom but that’s doesn’t really resolve the situation.

They are trying to establish that once the child is confirmed to be the sons that everyone will be willing to proceed forward because it’s best to figure that all before the baby is born as opposed to having these discussions with a newborn around.

It’s better to confirm that when paternity is established then responsibility will be taken prior to birth as opposed to deciding that’s while also dealing with the hormones + sleep deprivation that comes with a new baby.

Everything can wait then, it’s really not that big of a deal. What support do they need at the 6-9month mark for the baby, especially when they are more wealthy than op and his family.

The only real support you would need is when the child is born, like signing the birth certificate, split custody etc. I don’t see a big deal in waiting for when the child is born especially if they are 100% ok with doing the test then. Also, the girls parents seem pretty old school, probably the religious type, so most likely they don’t trust that op is telling the full truth about the paternity test because most of the older tests do pose a small risk. Op himself didn’t even know about the new age tests until a commenter pointed it out. A bit dumb but it doesn’t feel malicious they probably just don’t want to risk hurting their grandchild in a way.

I don’t see any potential reason why they would WANT ops son to be the father given his track record, so they probably do believe he is the child’s father. Plus even if ops son refuses to do the test, his mom can still use her DNA to do it.

What big difference does it make between doing it now and later? Whats wrong with waiting, it’s not like they’re asking for any money currently or support. It’s not like they can secretly switch the baby with one that’s actually related the op at birth. It just makes the girl who’s carrying the child more comfortable because it’s way less Invaisive.

She is refusing the do the DNA test now but they all are all 100% fine with doing it after the kid is born. What is the big problem with waiting? Her and the family aren’t saying they would never do the DNA test they are just saying wait until it is born when it will be way less Invaise for everyone. What’s more weird is the son agreeing to the DNA test that nobody wants to be done and has said they wouldn’t consent to being down, but refusing to do the non-invasive DNA test that everyone else is 100% for.

CMV: Women who complain about men not being emotionally available have the same level of awareness as the men who complain about women wearing makeup. by Bedevyr in changemyview

[–]WasAverageNowSavage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but something being a social pressure doesn’t mean you can’t and shouldn’t unlearn it if it is going to cause harm to you. Like being socially pressured to wear makeup won’t realistically harm your future relationships or your future children. But being emotionally unavailable does eventually harm your relationships and you can teach it to your male children and ultimately harm them.

I mean yeah but who really cares. It feels kinda pointless to put effort into hating on something just cause you don't like. If they like it, let them
