Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I know that modern delivery wards slap a RFID-chipped bracelet on the baby pretty much as soon as they are born, and if the baby leaves a room without being signed out alarms go off throughout the floor. I’m sure not every hospital is equipped like that but it was SOP at the two hospitals we used.

Yeah I would guess that RFID tags and closed-circuit security cameras have almost entirely eliminated that. There's probably still some unlikely comedy of errors that could make it happen but we won't know until the kids try 23andMe in a few decades

AITA for not wanting to pay for my wife's spending money?

quote:


Throwaway because people who know me are on here.

Before the birth of our daughter, my wife and I both worked full time in low-middle earning jobs with my wife earning a bit more than I but not by much.

My wife returned to work out of necessity when our daughter was 3 months old. Her mental health became pretty bad and she has a minor disability that makes work life a little hard and she found it a bit worse after having our daughter but we had to do what we had to do.

My wife's nan who sort of raised her and was her only family passed away sadly when our daughter was 6 months old. My wife inherited everything she owned. It was a big inheritance. Not enough for us both to immediately retire but a lot. Enough for us to buy a decent house outright, a new car each and to put some away for a comfortable retirement.

Shortly after her nan died, my wife stopped working and became a stay at home mom. Partially due to grief and struggles at her job, and a bit because she always would have preferred to stay home with our daughter. Thing is though, I'd rather not work and be a stay at home dad too but I've been sucking it up because we still need an income to get by.

My wife spoke with me recently about how to budget so we can live off just my income (she'd been dipping into savings to pull her weight but that's all tied up in investments now). I said if I'm the one who has to work (and I'd rather not) I don't think I should have to spend my money funding her hobbies and spending money. If she chooses not to work then she can buy clothes at the charity shop instead of new and get a friend to cut her hair for free etc. Or she can get a job working a night shift or start an online business or something to fund her spending money. I don't see why I should have to pay for stuff like her sewing materials and gym membership since I don't benefit from them and they're not my responsibility. I'm happy to pay for stuff for our daughter seeing as she's my responsibility so I don't think I'm being unreasonable here. I work 36 hours a week and I already pay for the bills and food. She said that's not fair if I get to enjoy my gym membership and hobbies like video games but the difference is I'm paying for them with my money. My wife said her inheritance was worth more than if she spent her whole life working and without that, both of us would be working anyway and having higher expenses from paying a mortgage and car loans so I should count that as her contribution and share my money with her.

AITA?

AITA for not wanting my son to call my wife mom?

quote:

Today is the the first day of second grade for my (33M)son. Last night after dinner, my wife(30) began to help my son pack his lunch for the first day of school while I got his clothes out, when I came back into the kitchen, they had just finished up and my wife handed the lunch box off to my son who said "thank you mommy." This was the first time my son has ever called her mom, because my wife and I have been married for 7 months but together for 3 years. My son's biological mom passed away when he was just a few months old, and from that moment on I never wanted my son to refer to another woman as "mom" I discussed this with my wife when I realized that we were getting serious and first introduced her to my son, and she said that she understood and would never expect my son to refer to her as mom or anything along the lines of that, and for the past few years my son has only called her by her first name.

My wife didn't say anything in the moment, just smiled at him and said "you're welcome." However, after my son had gone to bed my wife was beaming with excitement and telling me how happy she was about it. I didn't want to be an rear end, but I reminded her that I didn't want him calling anyone else mom, and asked if she could just remind him to call her by her name or nickname next time. She was immediately upset and began to say that she would never have forced him to call her mom but she's also not going to deny him that if that's what he chooses to call her. This led us into a w hour long argument and me sleeping on the couch. AITA here?

Edit: I have told my son all about his biological mom and has shown him pictures of her everyday when he was younger, so he knows who is mom is and that she is no longer with us.

My baby is super fussy. It’s been really bad. The dr said she is ok she is really colicky. She cry’s all night long. The past few months have been a nightmare. Working all day no sleep at night. I am a super light sleeper. I have been canceling our weekends with my step daughter. So my husband and I can catch up on sleep.

My step daughter decided to blast us on social media. she said “my dad and step mom can’t even take care of the kids they have. Yet they keep having more.” “So much for a reliable loving parent.”

Followed my my husbands family asking her what’s wrong. She let them know that we keep canceling on HER time. It’s not just HER time. it’s also her dads it’s been a very difficult situation for both of us. My in-laws are now saying we are the A’s in the situation. They stopped helping us with the younger kids all together. Am I the A here? I feel like it’s just circumstances. No one asks for a colicky baby.

“Yes, I know my new wife makes your school lunch and cleans around the house and is emotionally available to you, but you only have only Mother and she’s dead. You will never have another Mother. Now go tell Patricia you’re sorry for making her feel like a part of the family.”

AITA for telling my Dad I won’t sign the new trust fund proposal?

quote:

I am on mobile so please bare with me.i have changed details for privacy and if family see this.

I know the title seems harsh considering it is my dads money but please read and reconsider.

I (23F) am my dads eldest child, he has 3 other children ages ranging from 18-3.

He has 4 children with 3 different woman, the second eldest being my 100% sibling.

Backstory:

When my parents divorced my father started taking interest in foreign women. I say this because he would meet them online and fly them out to our country and home.

This went on for years.

When he broke it off when his girlfriend from Japan and sent her home but she tried to take him for everything since they had been together for 3 years . So he set up a trust fund, so if anything was to happen to him or if he was to get in a serious relationship no one could take him for half of his companies, homes and money.

If any changes were to be made everyone older than 18 have to sign to agree.

Now onto the story:

My dad (50M) has been with Rose (32F) for 5 years, they have had my youngest sibling together.

Since being together my dad has been Rose’s sugar daddy, expensive trips, designer clothes, he sends money for Rose’s family back home to pay their rent & living costs.

Now what my dad does with his money is his own business, just like mine.

Last week my dad asked me to come for dinner and him and Rose asked if I would sign the new trust fund documents, now I’m not silly. I sat there and read it all, the new document to pretty much sum it up says:

Rose will get the house’s

Rose will get 70% of each business

Rose will get all the cars and boat

Rose will get 60% of the money and the rest will be divided among the children

I told my dad this had to be a joke and no way was I signing this. Rose pushed and said this was my way of accepting her into the family.

I told Rose she was already apart of the family and putting on paper what she gets if my dad dies tomorrow proves that then she is gold digging and delusional.

She told me that if I didn’t sign it then I would be removed, I told her that wouldn’t work as my sibling wouldn’t agree to that change.

I left and went home but Rose keeps texting me, My dad set this up for reasons like this. I wasn’t going to be bullied, she might be manipulating my dad but I see right through it.

My dad has built these companies on his own she did not contribute.

I just want to add that I don’t care what I get, this is not about money. I was raised humble and have worked hard for everything I have. I am just looking out for my dad.

I’m not looking for legal advice we do have a family lawyer who looks after this all as well.

So reddit AITA?

AITA for refusing to pay my parents back?

quote:

Can't believe this happened but here we go.

I'm F25 and I refused to pay my parents back. I started a clothing business after I graduated and it became successful. I now earn a good amount of money.

I visited my parents(M52, F51) last week. I didn't visit them for months because I was so busy. They started asking me about my business. After asking me a few questions about it my mom said that now I earn a lot of money they're expecting me to pay back all the costs of raising me and that I owe them some money. I asked them if they were joking because it was so random and they said no so I told them that's ridiculous. That's their responsibility. I didn't choose to be conceived and born. I asked them if paying their bills is not enough for them. I pay all the bills in the house even though I don't live there anymore. They said that is a different matter. After they said that I left the house.

The day after my dad messaged me. "dont come back here anymore u should be grateful that we brought u into this world". I replied "thank you but im not obligated to pay you" and then they blocked me. My siblings also messaged me that I should have just paid them back since I earn a lot of money. I didn't reply. AITA?

⬇⬇⬇

I'm the one who suggests paying HALF of their bills. But they kept asking if I can pay for that month and they would pay for the next month and it just goes on and on so I decided to just pay their monthly bills. I started paying their bills 2 years ago.

They also did not pay for my college. I got a full scholarship.

I didn't borrow any money from them to start my business.

I found out that my parents didn't ask my siblings to pay them back. I'm the only one they asked.

I stopped paying their bills since I left the house that day. I will not contact them ever again.

edit: im not trolling or anything. i wish i was lol. anyway, i don't respond to the comments but I read every single one of em. thank you ppl of reddit!

AITA for telling my wife and her parents that I won't force my youngest to call her mom?

quote:

I have two children with my late wife. We had our oldest when we were just 20 and 6 years later we had our youngest. Three months after the birth of our youngest my wife died suddenly and unexpectedly. I found out after her passing that she'd had a heart condition that she was never made aware of. I was told to get both my kids tested and both inherited the condition from their mom. That period of my life was traumatic as hell. Luckily, I had so many videos and photos of their mom to share. We also had her dad who was amazing and the best grandpa to the kids. My son remembered his mom. My daughter was too young. But she's heard so much about her mom from her family.

Two years ago I started seriously dating my current wife. I have known her for four years and she met my kids once we got more serious but not where we rushed into moving in. The kids are now 7 and 13. We've been married for a little over 5 months.

We had talked about her relationship with the kids before we got engaged. She told me she wanted to be seen as another mom to them. I spoke to my kids. My son was clear that she would never be his second mom. My daughter said she wasn't sure but she didn't feel that way about her. I told them both their feelings were 100% understandable and fine. They both said they liked my current wife and they thought she was kind. I spoke to her about it then and she told me she was fine if they weren't okay with it at that time. I told her she needed to be okay with it if they always felt that way. I told her she needed to be prepared for always being step to both of them. She took some time to think and said it was fine.

But once our wedding happened she seemed to grow agitated by the lack of mom title from my daughter. I think it bothers her less with my son because of his age, but she has told me she does feel different about it with my daughter, because she is the only mom figure she has known. I suggested the two of us go to therapy together to talk it out again. She said it wasn't needed. That she would get over it.

But then last week she and her parents brought it up to me, how I should encourage my daughter to call her mom and how my daughter deserves to have a mom in this life, how she'll never know her "birth mother" (which I hate that term for my late wife). They told me pushing her is the best thing for my daughter. I told them I would never push her to do it. That her comfort in all of this is important to me and feeling like nothing is forced on her. They told me I was putting my kids feelings before my wife's. I said yes. They told me I was a lovely husband and a lovely father for denying them both this. My wife's mother said I was an rear end in a top hat to string her daughter along. I told my wife we need therapy with us. I also told her our marriage was hanging on my a thread. In truth I am doubting our marriage over this.

The kids do like her a lot and enjoy having her around which makes this suck extra hard.

AITA for being upset over my SO’s gift?

Almost 2 years ago, I (26F) mentioned to my SO (28M) that one of the many things I enjoy eating is a chocolate cake. Ever since then, every single time he wants to get me something, he gets that exact chocolate cake. I’ve eaten it perhaps 50 times now, sometimes as a whole cake, and I am honestly so sick of it. While I appreciate the effort and thought behind the gift, it makes me feel like he doesn’t really put in effort to find out what other things I like. I feel like the chocolate cake is just an easy option for him since the store is right across the road. I have explicitly mentioned to him that while I really appreciate the gift and thought, I stopped liking chocolate cake a while ago and it would be nice if he made an effort to find out what OTHER things I like, because there are so many other things I enjoy. I have a full list of things HE likes on my phone and I give him a wide range of gifts that he loves all the time. Despite this, he still continually buys me that cake! AITA for being frustrated and feeling like he doesn’t really care?

AITA for bringing my SIL’s wallet to the restaurant when she conveniently always forgets it?

quote:

My (f28) SIL “Amy” (f26) always comes to visit from out of town. She stays with us instead of a hotel, and always wants to go to expensive restaurants. She always conveniently forgets her wallet, or domes up with some excuses as to why she can’t pay her share. She has implied that since I make much more money than her, I should be the one to pay (no, not my husband should pay, but me specifically). I do make a fair amount of money, but not so much that I can treat someone every time they come into town. Nonetheless, in the past, I have just paid the bill and asked her to pay me back. She never has.

She had made a reservation at an extremely expensive restaurant last night, and before we left, I made it clear that I wouldn’t be paying her bill.

This is where I might be the rear end in a top hat, and I’ll admit I got this move straight from and episode of Two and a Half men. As we were leaving, her and my husband went to the car. I pretended I forgot something and went back inside. I found her wallet sitting right on top of her suitcase. I put it in my purse and we went to the restaurant.

When we were done eating, I asked for separate bills. She said no, we need one bill, because she “forgot” her wallet again. I reached in my purse and said, “this wallet?”

She was extremely furious. She said that I should not have touched or grabbed her wallet.

So AITA for taking her wallet and bringing it to the restaurant?

I know about orthodox rules lawyers who will eat on the subway since you don't have to keep to a fast while you travel, but this is next level.

I will never not be entertained by people attempting to rules-lawyer an ostensibly omnipotent deity

One time I was in an airplane sitting next to a couple of doofus-y college guys with piping hot Panda Express takeout that neither of them could finish because it was like 7: 30 in the morning.

AITA for bringing my SIL’s wallet to the restaurant when she conveniently always forgets it?

Even though you know what's going to happen from the title, something about the simplicity of "this wallet?" is killing me lol.
