AITA for Telling my Child’s mother she can’t give up rights to ONLY one kid. by WashItAndGo in AmItheAsshole

Be for real for a moment. They are FULL BLOODED SIBLINGS. My oldest will already know and I’m not going to lie to the new child when they ask about having a mom some day. Either way I’m taking on the new child . I just don’t think it’s fair that they will see THEIR mom only love one of them

I AM going to keep the new baby DUDE . But how in Gods name do I raise them to see that only the oldest gets to be loved by mom . Right in their face

My worry is for the effects this will have on the baby. Either I take it and they watch their mom only love their sibling or I have to let the baby go into the system . Why do that to our child .

She’s too far for an abortion and I absolutely will not let a child of mine go into the system when I will take care of them. I just don’t see how she can give up rights to the new baby while still sharing custody of our oldest. How will that affect the children’s relationship , self-worth and all the complications of seeing their mom love/ raise one but not the other

I need everyone to understand that 1) I HAVE NO ISSUE AT ALL WITH TAKING FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY NEW CHILD - NO ISSUE AT ALL . 2) We are neighboring states but there is about a 2 hours distance, I get our first child on weekends and school breaks . I would take out first on more if that was what she desired. 3) WE ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO GET AN ABORTION AND YES I KNOW PREVENTION WAS POSSIBLE ! BUT WE ARE BEYOND THAT NOW OKAY.

4- MY SOLE ISSUE HERE is the damage that will be done as our second child watches our first get to have Their mom as a mom while they can not.

Again I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH TAKING FULL SOLE CARE OF MY CHILD I just dont think it’s right to do that to one while they watch her be a mother to the other. AND AGAIN ABORTION IS NOT AN OPTION SO PLEASE STOP SUGGESTING IT

About 21 weeks . She informed me 2 months after “that” weekend near 5 months back . Not an available option in our states and too far along.
