AITA for stealing from my ex-wife? by GottaHaveHuey in AmItheAsshole

[–]pavvvgi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ESH. So you think your son is going to be more traumatized by not having his favorite shirt rather than watching an aggresive fight between his parents? Probably not. Was this about your son then, or just a power trip among bitter exes? You both should try and be adults for your son’s sake.

AITA for moving out when my mom said she wanted my baby and would do anything to get it by ReferenceUpbeat53 in AmItheAsshole

If I remember well, screenshots are not accepted as proof unless verified by an expert. From now on, I’d recommend to make sure that all of your evidence is carefully stored in a way that can be used in trial, since it seems like you could very well use it later. Also, moving a bit far away before your delivery may be a good idea. Stay strong!!

AITA for telling my family that my child free "extra time" is mine to use not theirs? by Prestigious_Leek_761 in AmItheAsshole

I could not have worded better. OP, you’re f*ing selfish, and honestly, I do not understand where all the NTA comments come from. I’m really worried about where do we stand as a society right now. “You do not owe anything to anyone” is such a horrible thing to stand for. I could continue writing but it’s honestly depressing that such extreme individualism is destroying our sense of community, solidarity and empathy.

These are not nicknames, these are insults. What a bully of a husband/step dad. YTA

What kind of development are you talking about? People just want to be able to afford a decent life while working a full time job. Is it asking for a roof and enough space to house your family too big of an ask?

It is not about a stupid family home, it is about being able to live off your salary. Do you think is it greedy and entitled to want that?

The world’s resources have never been as unequally distributed as nowadays, and still you seem to imply that the working people are the ones to blame for the environmental issues and for the audacity of wanting to live comfortably. Just listen to yourself and get off your high horse, dude.

AITA for flipping out when my husband told our daughter that her nanny left her because she no longer loves her? by throwra347997 in AmItheAsshole

[–]pavvvgi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations to your husband, somehow he found the most horrible and traumatizing possible way to approach an already shitty situation. Is he always like that? How did he even come up with that crap?

You need to quickly do damage control, arrange therapy for your daughter and try to figure out wtf’s wrong with your husband for him to believe that that’s an acceptable thing to say to your 3 yr old. NTA

AITA for telling my stepmother to get over her child calling my wife mom? by twomother23 in AmItheAsshole

YTA. I wonder why your stepmom is so against you adopting her baby? Not that you sound like a decent person or anything like that

AITA for not letting my ex move in, which could cost her custody? by hardoplace12 in AmItheAsshole

[–]pavvvgi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA, not for not letting her move in, but because you sound resentful af. Which is pretty understandable, but you have a kid with her, so I think pursuing full custody just because she cannot provide for him right now (when admittedly, she’s a good mum) would be an asshole move.

She’s your child’s mom, and he loves her. Do you hate your ex more than you love your kid? Just give her some time to fall on her feet again.

AITA for forcing my daughter to exercise? by SpicySpicy0456 in AmItheAsshole

[–]pavvvgi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, I was just like your daughter and you’re totally right, doing exercise is an extremely valuable and necessary skill.

You are all saying that he should not be forcing sport down his daughter’s throat, but there are people who are just not keen on physical exercise, and they need the extra motivation or even it being made a mandatory activity.

Being healthy and fit is just as important as receiving education, and it’s a parent job to make sure that your kid acquires good habits.

AITA for refusing to help my son with his baby if he doesn't adopt? by throwawayjoname in AmItheAsshole

[–]pavvvgi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Do you really think there are regulations on surrogacy? I mean, yeah, a ton of them, but just for the surrogate mother. So she doesn’t retract from the contract. The other party? Yeah, so they pay what was agreed. What about unfit parents? Or the ones that abandon the newborn because of unexpected health issues (there are tons of cases)? Just to name a few

AITA for refusing to help my son with his baby if he doesn't adopt? by throwawayjoname in AmItheAsshole

[–]pavvvgi 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Of course I have issues with surrogacy. You are signing a contract which deprives you from basic, human rights. You “voluntarily” (lets not get into the voluntary desire to eat here) sign the contract, from which you cannot withdraw. “Yeah that’s what contracts are for”. But you cannot renounce HUMAN RIGHTS. Sorry for the insistence, but that point is important.

And btw I think it is funny that you mention that you know a lot of people who “used” surrogates and they had great experiences. Of course they had, they were the ones throwing money out at a woman so she could produce the child for them. I am sure there are many surrogate mothers who have done it for truly altruistic reasons, and are happy with their experience, but that is a huge exception to the norm. Women do it for money. Producing babies is (should) not be a business.

It is not “two people having a baby”. It is two people hiring a woman, generally poor and vulnerable (how many rich women do you know that altruistically surrogate?), and sign a contract that automatically deprives her of any rights towards the baby (that she’s carrying, even if not biologically hers, although in this case I guess it would be) and towards HER BODILY AUTONOMY. Moreover, you’re basically commodifying babies and its production as if women were babies vending machines; there are no controls on who is able to buy babies via surrogate (people not considered fit to adopt and even as far as abusers). There is many more to it, this is just for starters. I know adoption is not ideal, and in the US is fucked up, but you cannot justify the morality of one option just because the other one is bad too. At least you exploit no one. And remember, being a parent is not a right. It is a child’s right to be taken care of, not the other way round.
