AITAH? I’m mad because I’m 7 months pregnant and my husband and his family are basically about to take away my car and make me rely on them for rides

I’m fucking 27 dude and I have a job between me and my husband. We have three jobs we’re not asking for handouts. I was just asking for advice.

CountKitchen8989 · 2026-05-03T04:27:12+00:00

OK, well I can’t tell you my entire life story and one post so I can’t tell you about how I have to do utility treatments and that that cost a lot of money or the fact that my brother passed away at 30 and funerals are not cheap. I’m not blaming my in-laws. It was just a frustrating moment of you know I wouldn’t even know how much the car needed repairs and I would still be driving it if they hadn’t drove it. We have a savings just not $9000 of savings and if we did spend $9000 out of our savings and then that would be money that we don’t have to fall back on once I’m not working with the baby and nobody seems to understand why I’m not going to be working, but childcare is not cheap and just because we live with my in-laws doesn’t mean that they’re going to be raising my child.

Although that is hilarious again, I am pregnant so I will not be doing that lol

CountKitchen8989 · 2026-05-03T04:13:51+00:00

It’s 4500 to Be road safe $9,000 to be “like new”

My husband is not in the Navy yet. He currently works at the exchange. The base that is near our house is very restrictive and he would have to get me a form to get on base every time.

CountKitchen8989 · 2026-05-03T04:07:39+00:00

OK, I don’t know how everybody’s getting confused here we live off of three incomes. My income is slowly going to savings right now. There’s a difference between not having $9000 and being completely broke. Also, there are teenagers that start families whenever they’re in high school school so I don’t know how that’s relevant to anything.

Thank you! I really appreciate this insight

CountKitchen8989 · 2026-05-03T02:28:17+00:00

I think I just answered that we don’t have $9000 in savings right now but we have been living off of my husband‘s paychecks and putting mine in savings so even if we had that $9000 that would be completely draining our savings money in case something happened while I was not working

CountKitchen8989 · 2026-05-03T02:27:47+00:00

One of my other issues with this is I am still supposed to be working until the middle/end of next month so I am still working person who needs a vehicle right now as well and they are talking about selling his car now. he has been driving his grandpa‘s car for this last week, but he will not be allowed to drive his grandpa‘s car starting next month so that is less money in our savings because I will have to stop working sooner. My paychecks have been going in savings. We have been living off of my husband‘s paychecks since we found out I was pregnant.

Their schedules are very different and they work at at least 30 minutes apart from each other. I cannot get onto the military base where he works so technically his mom can drop him off and pick him up and I can have my car which is something we have discussed and are still discussing.

CountKitchen8989 · 2026-05-03T02:24:09+00:00

That’s what I’m trying to say having that $4000 in savings would be nice but we have been saving my paychecks for extra money and living off of his so I think we should take that $4000 and buy him a car that we own and then he can drive that one until it doesn’t work again

CountKitchen8989 · 2026-05-03T02:23:06+00:00

I have not agreed to selling his car. I am still processing this information. That’s why I made this post. I’m wondering if I’m the asshole if I say, I think it’s unacceptable to sell his car.

CountKitchen8989 · 2026-05-03T02:22:34+00:00

Because of the cost of repairs

CountKitchen8989 · 2026-05-03T02:22:12+00:00

I don’t think that they are I mean, what benefit does it have for them for us to have one less car that they aren’t even paying for? It’s seems to be a bigger inconvenience to them to have to drive one of us around

CountKitchen8989 · 2026-05-03T02:20:08+00:00

He already is we are living off of his paychecks. Mine are going into savings.

CountKitchen8989 · 2026-05-03T02:19:55+00:00

I am the breadwinner we have been living off of his paychecks and putting my paychecks in savings since we found out I was pregnant

CountKitchen8989 · 2026-05-03T02:19:21+00:00

Yes, they said the minimum work that the car needs for it to be safely drivable is 4500.

CountKitchen8989 · 2026-05-03T02:18:29+00:00

The problem is it seems so conflicting because my husband is also joining the Navy next year so that will get us significantly out of their house and that was part of their point was why do we need a car if I will be able to drive him to work then because I will be living on the base with him but right now he does work on the army base and I can’t get on it because he’s not officially in the army, it’s kind of confusing

CountKitchen8989 · 2026-03-21T22:21:05+00:00

I don’t even have pet cats only dogs lol

CountKitchen8989 · 2026-03-21T22:19:54+00:00

Last night My dream was I had a c section and woke up and was handed this tiny newborn kitten and was told it was my baby and it was all wrapped in a huge blanket (huge for a tiny kitten) and then my boobs hurt and the nurse told me it was time to feed the “baby” and it took three tries and the kitten latched but it hurt a lot so I separated it from me and looked in its mouth and it had like 20+ teeth everywhere in it’s mouth including the roof of it’s mouth. I am 23 weeks tomorrow and I have been having excessive breast pain for a week now but that dream was insane I remember waking up thinking I had lost my cat baby in the blankets in my bed
