When will parents learn....YOUR KIDS OWE YOU NOTHING. You chose to become a parent, they didn't choose to be born, they didn't sign a contract saying they owed their parents grandchildren and free lodgings and being a doormat to mental/emotional abuse. You have children to pour your love and experience and wisdom into this little person, raise them right then send them out into the world to live THEIR life. Your own life is your own responsibility, no one owes you a damn thing except your pension. This "I birthed you so I own you so you owe me everything" attitude is so entitled and immature.

I bet his mother doesn't wear glasses, drive/use a car, or use a microwave. By her logic, none of those are "the way God intended". F**k her. IVF was a years-long long, often heartbreaking process that eventually led to the birth of my beautiful daughter. F**k anyone who looks down on IVF.

I hope to hell or highwater this YTA fuggnut will never have kids, whether wanted or not. I'm not a parent but I've seen my fair share of people struggling with conceiving, emphasis on struggling. Rather than be a superficially pious POS, mother should have appreciated OP and wife's efforts in giving her a grandchild and along with it, a legacy. If that superficial excuse of a mother is so adamant on a natural birth, maybe she ought to force her equally cr*ptrap daughter to pop one out instead. People, ugh!!!

I will never understand how some people complain that religion is 100% real and you must follow it. But then also turn around and try to say things like a miraculous invention of medicine or something is unnatural instead of thinking of it as in somebody was gifted the ability to come up with something so great to help people. I'm not even religious but I can't imagine somebody having their head so far in the dirt.

No wonder she was getting divorced.

It is suddenly very clear why his mum's being divorced. She sounds awful. Hope the IVF goes well.

YTA... Mama's boy! Still living in her basement are you? Mom may be struggling because of separation, but wife is struggling too. Husband was the man of HIS own house, mom was a guest in his house and therefore needs to mind her "P's & Q's" and stay in her own lane!

OP, NTA - you've have had conversations before with your mom & she won't back off so she's now found out what the consequences are of disrespecting you & your wife, out of her concern for what's best for you. Huh, so, SHE knows what's best for you & you don't. You're a wonderful husband for standing up for what YOU & your WIFE have decided to do, which is nobody else's business. Of course, your wife is getting the blame for everything & she doesn't need the stress. It's a blessing that things came to a head & mom is out of the house. Do not let her come back. And when you do have a child via IVF or some other method, what is her attitude toward your precious baby going to be? "Spawn of Satan"? It's not what a YTA said abt "old people" (FFS she's 52) having different ideas - she's gotten into some kind of wacky religion. I'm not particularly religious but it's pretty easy to stop people in their illogical tracks when they decide they can speak as to God's or Jesus' will or wishes: "Mom, who do you think put doctors on Earth & gave them the knowledge & ability to help people with things like this?" "Mom, I know how much you want to have grandchildren & I wonder if He's working thru us, not being able to have a child yet, to punish you for something." "Where exactly is it in the Bible that yells how you're supposed to conceive?" Sure, she's"having a hard time" & "is family," but family should treat each other with at least as much respect as they'd give anybody else. Best to you both.

Anorexia has most likely damaged her hormonal balance for good. They may need to look into surrogacy (if legal in their country) or adoption.

Once again, the YTAs show us just how idiotic they are. I once had the pleasure of defending my best friend when her mother was against IVF (her mother is SUPER religious and "God Fearing..." I tried to reason (I'm not religious) with her that God created man, He created life and a reason for man. Thus, by that reasoning, God created doctors and scientists, and I even threw in something about free-will. It was a much longer discussion, and in the end, I think I just confused her. lol But I was told she did lay off them for a few weeks. Yay for confusion. Oh, and the second try (1st time was not) was successful! And guess who dotes over said grandchild that was made from love and science!!

52 is not ancient, it's not even considered elderly, it's middle aged, the YTA guy is not playing with a full deck.

If I was his wife and they are lucky enough to have a kid that toxic POS would NEVER be around my kid. I have NEVER told my kids "I want grandbabies". I know how to stay in my lane and mind my buisness. I'm also sick of these morons hiding behind "God" yet in the same breath basically wanting their son to commit adultery just so she can have a 'grandbaby"! Tell Sis to go get knocked up for Granny she's old enough!

NTA, it was "God's Will" that he should kick out this idiot mother. Two can play that game.

danhemmington, this isn't the 1500s fool, the fact that idiots says it's gods will is an absolute disgrace! Any woman in this day and age that believes that infertility is a woman's problem are clueless and disgusting! She's 52 not 92 and even then, you have to be pretty stupid to believe it's all a woman's fault. You can't treat your sons wife like this over and over again a keep getting away with it. The fact that the wife is getting the blame for being kicked out by his own sister, shows she's got the same thoughts! The "gods will" is an absolute load of shite anyway! Anyone who lives by gods will are toxic in the extreme. Who do people like think they are? Insufferable uneducated idiots some of them!

I hate these obviously either fake stories or they are written in a way so they can read all the admiration they get. Of course he doesn't wonder if he is the AH just off of how he wrote the thing. He knows his mom is out of line, he kicked her out, and went on to let us know he only respects and defends his wife always. And supposedly bc the sister called him an AH now he's questioning everything? Nah, it's either fake or he wants some praise from the internet. Also bf ppl come at me and say how I'm a cynic or whatever I have seen people prove that they were the author of dozens and dozens of AITA Reddit posts all with diff names, situations, gender, etc etc. just fake.
