Even if having a child was not at all what you had planned in your life, once you do have a child, you cannot ignore that responsibly. Nobody wants to be in the position of being “forced” to take care of another human being they were not prepared to have, but sometimes that is just how life goes. If one does find themselves in this position, the last thing one should do is throw the responsibility onto someone else and then disappear, which is exactly what the woman in this Reddit story did. Sh…

It's funny how some people resent others for not wanting exactly the same things they do, or for living life differently. For example, there are many parents out there who end up resenting those who are not interested in having kids, and act as if those who do not become parents are insulting those who do. The entitled mother in this Reddit story acts exactly like that when she accuses OP (original poster) of being lazy because she doesn't have any kids. What is even more ridiculous is that the…

"He accused me of ‘suffocating’ his potential, and that I’m ‘jealous of him helping a younger woman succeed.’"

Physical and emotional storm

"She started making small talk with him, asking him where he was from, what his intentions were, basically giving him the third degree right in front of me."

This friend denied claims that she was pregnant. Now, she's using it as an excuse to get out of the girls' trip expense-free.

Never involve your children in your relationship problems, they don't and shouldn't need to know everything that is going on between their parents. Even if one of the parents did something wrong, even if your relationship might not recover from it, keep your kids out of it. They deserve to have a good relationship with both of their parents, regardless of anything else. That is mainly what the people of Reddit have told the husband in this story. After he found out about his wife's cheating, he…

"I almost feel like they should have reimbursed you for the tickets you cancelled."

"I’m tired of it. I feel like I’m enabling him to live irresponsibly, and it's starting to feel more like I'm being taken advantage of than helping family."

"She starts going off about how perfect it would be to have a ‘big moment’ where everyone finds out the gender during my reception, and how I should ‘totally do a balloon release or confetti pop for her.’"

Finders keepers... you know the rest.

"He stormed off, and I shouted that I didn't know I was engaged to a child who threw a tantrum when he didn't get what he wanted."

"Why would you want your ex-girlfriend/ex- best friend, the girl you cheated on, to be part of your wedding party?"

Everywhere you go, you will meet people who have it better than you and people who have it worse. That is just life. We cannot all be in the same situation, and it is best to not compare ourselves to others because someone is bound to get hurt as a result. The girl in this Reddit story needs this serious reminder, as she thinks it is okay to act unbearably entitled at her aunt's house. OP (original poster) and her sister went over to their aunt's house to babysit her kids, when the sister decid…

Family shouldn't be a one-way street

The internet seems to think both sides are in the wrong here...
