Widow's MIL Decides To Cover Son's Funeral Expenses, Livid After Learning About His Life Insurance

Does monster-in-law not realize that that was HER OWN SON'S funeral?!?! Since she's in a better financial position than OP, and -offered- to pay without being reimbursed, OP owes her nothing at all. ESPECIALLY since she was so cruel about demanding it...

“What’s The Wildest Cheating Story You’ve Witnessed Or Happened To You?” (30 Answers)

IF he told her he was in an open marriage, that MIGHT explain why she didn't see anything abnormal about it....for the first couple of years. But after that, I would imagine that she'd wonder why she hadn't met his wife yet...

Woman Says “Enough Is Enough” After Husband’s Ex Asks For More Help With Her Baby

I'm glad to see some people saying to help but to set reasonable limits. I think rearranging the custody temporarily and not doing the grocery pickup is a good compromise.

Woman Says “Enough Is Enough” After Husband’s Ex Asks For More Help With Her Baby

It’s so easy to tell others to “cut her some slack” when they aren’t spending their own money on expensive baby items, making extra trips around town (again, extra money spent on gas), and all the time this takes while OP has her own part-time job, her own toddler, and their step kids 50% of the time. The ex presumably chose to have this baby; it wasn’t her first. What did she expect?

Widow's MIL Decides To Cover Son's Funeral Expenses, Livid After Learning About His Life Insurance

No kidding! All the YTAs are so rude. It’s a hard situation and OP isn’t doing anything malicious. I think it’s more than fair to reimburse MIL for half and then go NC and use the rest to rebuild her life. Honestly if it were me I probably wouldn’t even reimburse MIL (she offered to pay and then got mad when she heard OP had an unexpected “windfall” which seems pretty shady) and just go full no-contact immediately.

Fair to ask once - evil to get the child alone and then use manipulative tactics on the child.

“Babies Are Not Handbags”: MIL Gets A Reality Check After Trying To Claim DIL’s Daughter’s Baby

Or worse, like possibly trying to abduct the baby. The Monster-in-Law shouldn't even be allowed in the hospital when OP'S daughter goes into labor. There's no telling what stunt she'd pull there, even with the L & D staff and security.

“Babies Are Not Handbags”: MIL Gets A Reality Check After Trying To Claim DIL’s Daughter’s Baby

I'd personally advice OP to bar the Miscreant-In-Law from ever setting foot in the house again, with the heavily-favored option of involving authorities should she persist. How is she the authority on what "future failure" looks like? If anything, I'd call her the failure for pulling a sh*t stunt like this. I hope OP and family change the locks and keep the keys to themselves. Also, a security camera would be a good idea as restraining order and arrest evidence in case the Miscreant-In-Law tries to get cute and come back for round two >:-(

Teen Sick Of Being Treated As "Mom And Dad's Mistake", Stops Babysitting Siblings' Kids

We had one. It was called Roe v Wade. But you can't forbid all abortion unless you want to kill people. Things can happen in the last few months of a pregnancy that can cause the pregnant person to die. And the doctors can discover that the fetus is not viable and won't survive. Or it has died, but the body didn't eject it. Abortions are sometimes necessary, even at very late term.

Neuroscientists disagree with you, Harry.

Teen Sick Of Being Treated As "Mom And Dad's Mistake", Stops Babysitting Siblings' Kids

I call absolute bull$hit, Harry. I worked with OB-GYNS for over a decade. None of them, NONE, would perform an abortion that late in term, without the presence of catastrophic health problems for the woman or fetus. Any doctor who would do what you're describing is likely not a true, licensed, board-certified physician. Just because those places made her an appointment, does NOT mean the procedure was performed.

Teen Sick Of Being Treated As "Mom And Dad's Mistake", Stops Babysitting Siblings' Kids

I’m so sorry you went through that but I’ll correct you on one thing, you are not a better person BECAUSE of those s**ty people, you are a better person IN SPITE of them. They have nothing to do with the fabulousness that is you! That is 100% because of your own self and your wonderful brother, they deserve no credit at all.

Teen Sick Of Being Treated As "Mom And Dad's Mistake", Stops Babysitting Siblings' Kids

You actually think someone carries a fetus for 8 or 9 months, then just decides one day "Nah, I don't want it anymore, time for an abortion." Are you insane? People don't get abortions that late unless something has gone horribly wrong. And doctors don't do abortions that late unless it's required.

Teen Sick Of Being Treated As "Mom And Dad's Mistake", Stops Babysitting Siblings' Kids

The cortex, the outer layer of the brain thought to be largely responsible for consciousness, and the thalamus, which relays sensory information (like pain) to the cortex, develop only after 24 weeks. Just because a foetus has other brain structures that process pain doesn’t mean the connections that can cause it to feel pain are working yet.

He cheated on his fiancé. I told her what was going on. He never figured out how she found out. I cut him off. I figured if he can f**k over his fiancé, someone he’s supposed to love, what is keeping him from doing the same to me.

Teen Ignores Sister’s Warning About Babysitting, Makes A Mistake That Lands Her And Toddler In ER

I agree that it's natural to push away something that's hurting you, but the sister could have completely avoided ALL unpleasant consequences by being more attentive... Childcare is not something that should ever be half-assed, and this is exactly why. That's why I think the anger is justified, and why I think having her move out would be the best option. The college fund....honestly, depending on how much the medical bills were, I could definitely understand if OP couldn't afford to pay for both of their medical bills (sister's and son's) -and- the tuition. Especially all at the same time. If they -can- afford it, then -maybe- I could see it as going a -little- too far, but they have their own family to think about and provide for....

Teen Ignores Sister’s Warning About Babysitting, Makes A Mistake That Lands Her And Toddler In ER

She LIVES WITH the toddler! They're all part of the same household! And yeah, she probably spends most of her time away from the house (likely for that exact reason), but it's not like this is a strange kid to her: she sees him daily. And probably also deals with his antics daily, even if it's as little as possible. She had warnings, she had reminders, and she ignored or forgot them.

It depends. If their finances are separate, then why should he have a debit card from her? (I would also say that about a woman, btw) IF she's the breadwinner and is denying him access to his half of the "bread", that absolutely is abuse, but I don't think that's the likely situation....

"She Was Just On A Date": Guy Kicks Girl Out Of His Car Right After Picking Her Up

How is it disrespectful? If they're just casually dating, then chances are that they're not physically involved yet, so why is it gross? She hasn't really gotten to know either of these men yet, so why is it so horrible that she's getting to know each of them better? Also, what she does with one person doesn't have anything to do with any other dates she might have. If I enjoy spending time with you, then I WILL enjoy spending time with you whether I've been home alone all day or out with friends or on another date. And if I'm looking for someone to spend my life with, jealousy is one of the -least- attractive qualities you could show me. I think both people dodged a bullet here: they obviously weren't compatible.

Your pets' lives literally revolve around you: leaving them means you're rocking their world to the core, and you better have a damn good reason to do it.

Men Suspect Women Don’t Understand These 30 Things About Them

Bundy was perfectly normal-looking at a glance, and he was a monster in private. You think that having a 9-5 job and "benign hobbies" means you can't be an a-hole? The men who are the greatest risk to women are the ones we know at home: our fathers, brothers, uncles, grandfathers, partners, and even our sons if we have them (since elder abuse is a thing). Every woman on my mother's side of the family was abused by at least one man. The number of men being abused by women, while not zero, is much lower. Also, did you miss the part where half of these are misogyny in disguise? The things these men complain about are problems of their own making that they want women to fix for them. How is that fair or right?

If it's condescending and assumes that she doesn't know what you're telling her about, then it's mansplaining. If she asks for your advice/input, then that's everyday communication.

Men Suspect Women Don’t Understand These 30 Things About Them

My own father worked with a guy who made rape "jokes" regularly. I kept asking him to tell the guy to stop, and he said he couldn't because the guy was a coworker and he didn't want to stir up trouble... That's what we mean. I was at work with two male coworkers, and when the card reader didn't work, the customer grinned at me and said something like "I hope this thing isn't like a woman, where you have to hit it to make it work." Not one of my colleagues said anything. I'm the one who had to step up and tell him, "that's not funny. My aunt was abused."

Aunt Racks Up $300 In Food, Is Shocked When She Hears They're Splitting The Bill

Dad & sister are trying to bully OP like they did her mom. I'd leave dear ol' dad out of any further family events if she doesn't want to pay for auntie and kids. And Gramps too if he's gonna call her an AH.

Aunt Racks Up $300 In Food, Is Shocked When She Hears They're Splitting The Bill

Why is it her responsibility to tell her aunt she's not paying for her when she not only didn't invite her, she never offered to pay for her. The dad is a royal AH for making the invite without consultation. And an even bigger one for expecting his 18 year old daughter to pay for the people he invited without asking. OP needs to go LC with the father. It's clear he doesn't get it. He also has a history of being a terrible parent anyway so she owes him nothing. And if he's prioritizing his sister over his daughter? Well, that's his choice.
