AITA For asking my sister where she got her babies from?

quote:

Title is weird, but this situation is weird.

My sister (25) has struggled with infertility problems for years. She and her husband got married at sixteen and have been trying since they were eighteen. Doctors have basically told her she will never have a baby.

My sister is also extremely against infant adoption. Never even mention it to her - she'll rant about it and how it should be banned for hours. Her husband was adopted as an infant so I guess it comes from that.

They have tried IVF in the past, which hasnt worked. And while they arent totally against surrogacy, they arent fans and have stated multiple times they would never go that route.

Anyway, ten months ago my sister posted an Instagram post welcoming her daughter into the world. Of course we were all ecstatic initially - she was healthy, beautiful, and all round an amazing baby. For the first three months of her life no one really noticed anything odd. I think we all assumed my sister had just kept a pregnancy secret or something, because she breastfeeds. We werent aware you could lactate without giving birth.

Then she started coming into her features - baby is very clearly ethically something else. Facial features and even skin tone match neither of her parents. We are Mexican, and her husband is ashkenazi.

Still, we didnt say anything, because genetics can be weird. Assumed maybe she'd adopted and didnt want to go back on her previous statements.

Except four months ago it happened again. This time welcoming their son into the world. But she also added on, that she herself, was in her second trimester of pregnancy with their third, her first successful pregnancy.

So, this is getting weird. A cousin asked if they had finally adopted, at which point my sister got upset and reiterated that they would never.

At this point I'm really suspicious. So, finally, last week I ask her where the hell her other two kids are from. They clearly arent hers (son could maybe pass off, bc he looks like her husband), and if she's still spewing bs about adoption being trauma, how the hell did she get them.

She got really upset, her husband got pretty angry and they got up and left. My entire family is more or less backing me because we are really concerned about where the hell these kids are from.

She has seemingly blocked most of us on the socials where she posts about her kids, and a few mutual friends and really angry over it, asking why I have to push, and why I can't just be happy for her.

Its sort of put us in a bind. I'm concerned about the kids, but I also want to be in my sisters life.

I dont feel like my ask was too out of the ordinary considering how strange the situation is. Idk. Am I the rear end in a top hat?

This is either typed one-handed, or he's the biggest idiot in the world. Why leave a single hair on it if you can tell that it's been tampered with by, you know, WATCHING the recording? You don't need the hair for that.

All the SIL has to do is ask her sister why the hidden camera pen was in the bathroom while she was taking the shower. Just the question would be enough to raise suspicion.

Totally written one handed, but I'm pretty sure the guy wrote that he turned it off when he put it back so if he got called out on it this time he'd be able to shrug and say "oh it's not even on."

Just lol at subsidized girlfriend. 25k in credit card debt she hasn't been able to pay down despite nearly her entire life being subsidized. I've known people like this, grew up middle class with parents who paid for their everything and never learned to budget or even understand money in any way. No matter how much money you give them they will always be in debt. They always live just a little beyond their means since they have no concept of what their means are. When they're struggling with a lovely 30k a year job they'll be 20k in debt. Give them a 100k a year job and now they're 50k in debt. They get a 300k inheritance and they just buy a bunch of poo poo instead of paying their debts off and since they bought a bigger house and a new car and a boat which all require upkeep they didn't budget for they're now 100k in debt. They're always just totally confused by it all too, it's just so gosh darn hard to deal with finance stuff!\

The worst part is they never act like its their own fault and use their debt to demand sympathy and help from others. Constantly dropping little woe is me comments about their finances or requests for friends to cover costs of group activities. And again, no matter how much help they get they will always forever be in debt and they never have the slightest understanding why.

On the flip slide I was poor as gently caress and had no money management skills because there was never any money to manage growing up so the first thing I did when I turned 18 was get a credit card that eventually ended up in collections.

i got out of college with around 20k of credit card debt because i was an absolute moron. moved away, upped that to ~24k in a year after blowing through my "move to another city" savings. got a better job and one day i remember just seeing the interest accrual on my CC and i was like "yeah this is bad." paid that poo poo off in 2.5 years by, surprise, living at (and below) my means.

It took me a few years to figure out what to do about the calls from bill collectors and I tend to overspend when I get depressed.

I'm still prone to mismanaging my finances and I have to track every penny with several spreadsheets to keep myself in line. I just manage to catch myself before things can get detrimental.

I've been good for the last seven years and the last negative mark falls off of my credit report next summer.

So yeah I guess I fixed it but it takes an overabundance of effort.

AITA for setting boundaries with my stepson?

quote:

Forgive me for any mistakes, I’m a long time lurker who made an account specifically to ask about this issue.

I (47m) have a stepson (16m) who for the purposes of this post, we’ll call “T”. I’ve been married to my wife (48F) for two years and have two daughters (7F & 9F) with my ex.

Since the day T moved into my house he has been nothing but disrespectful. I understand that change, especially change this drastic (moving, getting new siblings/ a new parent) is hard for a kid but some of the stuff he does just crosses a line. For example, I transferred him to a really great private high school when he moved in because I wanted him to have the best opportunities. He always complains that he doesn’t like his new classmates, that the school is too far away (it’s 15 minutes further than his old school, which is practically nothing) and that he doesn’t like the environment. He doesn’t understand that later he will thank me for this, I would have killed for an opportunity like this at his age!

Additionally, he always breaks rules we have set in place. I have asked him to surrender his phone to the living room at 9pm to have some family time but he says he wants to talk to his old friends. He constantly claims not to like the food his mother or I make even when he hasn’t tried it. His mother and I try to have a date night once or twice a week and he always claims he is too busy to watch his step sisters. We have asked him repeatedly for the passwords to his social media accounts and he refuses to hand them over… etc.

I’m sick of the disrespect in my own house, so I set some boundaries. Either he starts treating me with respect and listening to me, or he can find somewhere else to live. Obviously I wouldn’t really kick him out, but I’m hoping this scares some sense into him. My wife, however, said I took it too far and need to apologize and tell him I wasn’t serious. I feel like this will undermine my authority though. AITA?

Edit: I just want to clarify a few things because they seem to be causing confusion in the comments. He did not change schools when he was sixteen. We had him change when he was 14, when he moved in to my house, so about halfway through his first year of high school. Also, he did know about the change, we talked to him about it beforehand. He wasn’t excited but he did know that he would be changing schools.

AITA For pressing charges when my stepson took something my daughter inherited from her mother?

quote:

I [M47] been with my wife for 2 years. She has a 21 year old son. I have a 14 year old daughter from my previous marriage. My late wife passed away in 2014. She left a few things for our daughter. Including a gold jewelry set. Her mom was devastated she didn't get to gift the set to our daughter on her wedding day. I keep it in my closet since it's expensive and my daughter is too young to have it. I'll hopefully gift it to her on her wedding.

Last week. We were sitting in the kitchen when my stepson was hesitant to ask me something. We're in good terms but have our fair share of arguments. He said his fiancèe was taking something from his mother's and my closet. saw the jewellery set and liked it very much. He asked if he could borrow it so his fiancèe can wear it at her cousin's wedding. I found this unacceptable I told him his fiancèe had no business being in the bedroom and that the jewellery isn't mine. It's for my daughter. He asked me if my daughter will agree to let him borrow it if he talked to her. I told him not to even talk about it again. He got all pissed and said things I do not remember.

Saturday night. When he and his fiancèe were at the wedding. I discovered that the jewellery set was gone. I told my wife and we looked all over the house. I called my stepson to tell him about calling the police because I really thought someone stole the set. He said there was no need. That he borrowed it and will return it after they get back from the wedding. I yelled at him and told him to come back with it right then. I kept calling him til 12am when he told me to stop calling and that he'd bring it in the morning.

I couldn't sleep that night I felt terrible. In the morning he showed up at 10am. He didn't bring it and started stalling saying: "he forgot"- "he'd bring it the next day". At this point it was clear he gifted it to his fiancèe and was stalling. I got so mad I told him I will be pressing charges if he doesn't return the set today. We got into an argument My wife said his fiancee was the one who wanted the jewelry set. But he was the one who took it and it's not even mine it's my daughter's which made it worse. Because I'm responsible for whatever happens to it.

His grandparents berated me after I told them this and got mad and defended him when I said that I will be pressing charges. he stole and needed to be responsible for his actions He didn't respond to my final calls so now I've given him one last chance and it's over

I pressed charges today. They're saying calling the police was extreme and cruel. They're all convincing me to back down.

Aita for pressing charges?

He was replying to me sarcastically when I said I'd get the authorities involved and he didn't take me seriously. His mom said she'd try to talk to him but I had enough of him stalling hoping I'll just let it go. So he can make his fiancèe happy.

I feel like an irresponsible idiot. I can't even look at my daughter without feeling frustrated and infuriated. I'm hurt but what's worse is that this is my daughter's property that I couldn't take care of. My wife allows them into the room although I told her not to several times they're not kids and there should be some boundaries.

"Tiny Trains"

I was always totally shocked at how this fairly rich girl I knew was constantly in financial woe is me mode. When out for dinner she'd never order extravagant things and she didn't really eat and drink out a lot unlike a lot of my friends who probably spend like 1k a month on that. Like I mentioned she'd always pull the "guys I just can't afford to pitch in evenly for the group trip this year... I can't come" and wait for everyone to offer to cover her share. I knew she had a lot of hobbies but they all were things that were generally low cost hobbies. She did photography for fun but already had a few cameras. She was super into a variety of dances, but other than some outfits and shoes that's not a super expensive hobby. She painted, which I know canvas and art supplies can be expensive but she actually did a side business painting for clients that turned a profit. Her parents were rich and she married money too. So how, HOW was she constantly so hard up???

Finally found out from friends closer with her the sort of poo poo that was going on.

-Was constantly buying incredibly expensive photography equipment, always new never 2nd hand. Thought with just the right cameras and lenses she could make money at it so would sink like 10k in a year on photography stuff.
-Had like 50+ extremely expensive dance outfits and bought new ones nearly monthly, would often get them extensively tailored and modified. Thousands a year spent on this.
-Outright bought a dance studio. Why rent some dance studio space you use once or twice a week when you can buy the studio... and then take over its lease which is far more than what you were paying to rent time before. Apparently this HAD to be done because her schedule was unpredictable so she needed a studio space ready to go 24/7 and the studio she liked near her was going to shut down so she offered to buy it without even asking about what the lease was or what the costs would be.
-Her husband considered himself a pro house-flipping and real-estate guru. They somehow consistently lost money flipping in Vancouver 2008-2015 when it was impossible to lose money. Instead of buying dumps and fixing them up they bought "only the best" properties that had already been extensively renovated then expected to make hundreds of thousands selling it again only a year later. They did make more money than they paid for, but not enough to cover the soft costs and upkeep.
-They didn't understand zoning was a thing and bought a property with the idea of building container houses on it. They also didn't know anything about construction costs or technology or that container houses are an awful fad.
-Somehow would do everything the most expensive or least efficient way possible. If there was a way to flip a house without paying much in taxes and a way of doing it at a massive tax hit, they'd do the latter. They'd seemingly purposefully structure their debt to be at the highest possible interest rates. Just constantly engineering everything the worst possible way.
-Refused to take any advice or research things properly. They were experts and you can only succeed in life by taking risks and being bold. For example the container house obsession was launched by them seeing a 5 min youtube video and that was enough for them. They also were very secretive about their plans because they didn't want to hear naysayers or get unsolicited advice.

But don't worry, they're doing great because every few years they'd go to one of their parents begging for a bailout because they're just poor smol beans who don't understand money and if they don't get a bailout they might lose their house. I don't really see them anymore but I'm sure they're still in debt somehow.
