Reddit user ‘AITA for not letting my sister be at my birth’

One popular Reddit post recently asked the question ‘Am I wrong for not letting my sister be at my birth?’

The key players in the situation are the original poster, a 27 year-old female, her husband Kerim, her 13-year-old little sister Tasha, and her mom.

The pregnant woman starts out by saying everyone was happy with the news that she was pregnant when she first told them, including her dad who is divorced from her mom. The OP’s sister Tasha was also happy, talking about how she’s going to be the youngest auntie, but then once they told everyone they were having a girl she went quiet. 

When the OP hit the five month pregnancy mark, she got really ill and was admitted to hospital as there was concern for her and her unborn baby. However, Tasha refused to visit her in hospital, meaning her mom also didn’t come either. Tasha, who is described as having an attitude and being spoilt, started being rude and standoffish to the woman’s husband.

Tasha allegedly scoffed when they talked about the baby girl, joked how emotional she was, saying it was trouble than it’s worth with the woman’s heart. Tasha also said they stole her favourite name when they announced the baby’s name as Adley, despite never saying that name before. She also joked about how fat the woman had gotten. Kerim eventually had enough and told her to grow up but the mom defended Tasha saying she’s just jealous about no longer being the youngest in the family anymore.

‘I tried to talk and ask her what’s wrong but she got an attitude again and told me I made everything about my baby and myself,’ the OP wrote.

She was then discussing the birthing plan with her father, who asked if he could bring his new girlfriend into the waiting room on the day of the birth. The OP said yes as the girlfriend had been kind to them.

Her mom and Tasha were really angry  saying she’s cruel for letting a random ‘friend’ of their dad’s visit but not letting her little sister be there for her niece’s birth.

The OP then provided several updates after the post went viral. She said her sister Tasha ‘made cruel comments about my weight (I used to have an ED), how I’m an attention seeker to get pregnant, she’s literally slammed a door in me causing my to hurt myself, she’s been all over my husband but ignoring me to my face.

‘She’s not angry because I’m trying to keep her away from the baby, she’s angry because I’m pregnant and she will no longer be the youngest girl.’

The post divided Reddit but most took the side of the pregnant woman

The post divided Reddit at first, with some saying the OP ‘obviously doesn’t care about or spend enough time with Tasha.’

Some people also encouraged her to sympathize with her sister more, as she may still be dealing with her parent’s divorce.

However, the majority of people were on the OP’s side and said she hadn’t done anything wrong.

‘Your sister is one phone call away from ruining your husband’s life. Make sure you have documented what she says,’ one person said.

‘I’m confused why everyone was blaming oop for Tasha’s behavior and making her responsible for her feelings/emotions,’ another said. ‘Children may not fully understand their actions, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t planning or calculating be it negative or positive. Children may not always know why they are jealous, that’s doesn’t mean they aren’t jealous.’

Another said: ‘That kid needs a therapist, stat. I dunno if there’s trauma from something awful there, or just issues that need to be worked on. But they are waaaay past the point of dealing with this on their own. There’s no way this is behavior appropriate for a child.’

Fans ask what ‘well, well, well’ means amid rise of worrying trend

TikTok users have seen a rise in the phrase ‘well, well, well’ being used in the comments on certain videos. The videos usually involve a Jewish person or a subject relating to Jewish culture and tradition.

The phrase was particularly prominent under one of the videos of Berel Solomon. Berel Solomon is a Jewish man who is the producer of the documentary Orthodoxed and also has a new movie called The Jewish Secret to Wealth.

He is popular on TikTok, and recently posted a video discussing ‘Jewish Business Secret! #27’. However, the video was flooded with comments saying ‘well, well, well’. Another user shared a screenshot of the comments section in a separate video:

There are many other videos like this with a brief snapshot of all the ‘well, well, well’ comments. The videos usually include Jewish people, and hashtags such as #welllwellwell, #wellwellwellchallenge and #wellwellwellmemes have been used:

Fans condemn antisemitism in light of new phrase

Naturally, many users have been desperate to understand the meaning of ‘well, well well’. The meaning is vague, but as one user writes, ‘it’s a dog whistle. It has some antisemitic meaning and [people] spam it on videos with Jewish ppl in it.’

A dog whistle is described as ‘the use of coded or suggestive language in political messaging to garner support from a particular group without provoking opposition. Furthermore, it is ‘a surreptitious inclusion of code words or phrases that will be heard by some of those listening, while not disturbing the other listeners, who may not appreciate the hidden message(s).’

Essentially, ‘well, well, well’ was started as an antisemitic comment used against Jewish people that has been used secretly so as to not flag moderators.

When people were made aware of the real meaning of ‘well, well, well’, they were quick to condemn its use.

‘Repulsive! Keep spreading the word…That it’s always called out. Silence is our worst enemy,’ one person wrote.

‘i’ve witnessed soo much antisemitism in the comments!!! It’s actually so sickening… anonymity shows their true colours,’ another added.

It is not the first time TikTok has been used to spread antisemitism

This is the not the first time antisemitism has been spread on the popular social media platform. In 2021, users were using the “Expressify” filter to exaggerate their facial features. They did so while also singing “If I Were A Rich Man” from the musical Fiddler on the Roof.

“A lot of [people] are making jokes about money and greed, and … one person [was] calling themselves a goblin”, one person reportedly said at the time.

“People have been using the sound to mock ‘nigun’, which is a Jewish traditional form of singing that usually uses repetitive sounds rather than traditional lyrics”, another said.

At the time, TikTok condemned the “hateful behaviour” and said they were “committed to promoting a safe environment.”

“TikTok’s mission is to inspire creativity and bring joy and we do not tolerate content, including trends, that promote anti-semitism and hateful behavior. We are committed to promoting a safe community environment and remove content that violates our Community Guidelines,” the company told one source.

They also said the trend went against the company’s community guidelines and that it had removed the trend since it was first reported.

‘AITA for telling my husband he knew what he was signing up for’ background explained

While the original post has been deleted from the AITA subreddit, the‘AITA for telling my husband he knew what he was signing up for’ story has since appeared on other subreddits. It has now appeared on r/BestofReddit’sUpdates.

It sees a 36-year-old female sharing how her closeness with her childhood friend Anna (fake name) has led to troubles in her marriage with her husband, 38 (M). The OP has been friends with Anna since kindergarten. They went to the same college and even bought a house together. The two have been living together for five years.

Four years ago the OP met her now husband, Rob (fake name). The two hit it off and get married. After deliberating about their future together, Rob moves in with the OP and her friend in their house together.

Husband is uncomfortable

After the OP gets married, her husband voices his discomfort about her relationship with Anna.

“I’m very close with Anna and there are no filters when we talk together. We have sleepovers sometimes and go out on little “dates” but that’s how we’ve always been” the OP says.

She says her husband never voiced his concern about her relationship with Anna in four years of knowing them. The OP feels he is just now expressing his feelings because she recently told him how Anna confessed feelings towards the OP in the past. But an upset OP simply tells him: “This is what he (the husband) signed up for and if he had a problem with it then he should’ve told me years ago.”

OP claims she loves her husband but cannot chuck Anna out of her life just because her husband is “insecure.” The husband later explains to the OP how he fears she might leave him for Anna due to their closeness.

OP comes into question after an added confession

While the story seems to make sense until this point, the OP reveals a few more things that creates confusion.

She reveals when Anna first confessed her love for the OP, they sat down and talked.

“I expressed to her that I saw her like a sister and was absolutely not interested in anything more” OP says.

Things became awkward for a while between them before they got back to normal. “Our friendship was strained for a bit but returned to the sister type of bond again,” she says. She also states that Anna has never mad any “romantic moves” towards her.

A commenter asked why the OP didn’t just marry her friend if they shared such a deep commitment.However, her response to this raised many suspicions.

“I was afraid, my family is Jamaican and I knew I would instantly get disowned. I do love her but I never viewed a gay marriage as anything possible for us.”

She further says after the confession they decided if they couldn’t have each other they could at least stay by each other’s side. To many readers, it implied that she would have chosen that route had there not been cultural obstacles in her way.

Many felt empathetic toward the husband while others talked about how the OP may not have realized something about her sexuality.

Reddit user’s comment

“He damn well didn’t know what he was signing up for, though he perhaps should have backed out when he heard the so-called explanation,” one commenter stated.

Some hoped the husband finds out how the OP was considering a relationship with Anna and leaves her for a healthier relationship.

One user predicted what the future would be. “One day, it is going to get to the “f**k it” stage in life and be with Anna. Sooner is better than later so the husband can be free to live a life more suited to him,” they wrote.

“I don’t think OOP realizes consciously that she’s bi/pan/gay,” another person wrote.

Is the eye of a hurricane calm?

Yes, the eye of a hurricane is the calmest part of a hurricane. The University of Illinois notes, the skies are clear right above the hurricane’s eye and the winds are light.

The eye is at the center of the hurricane and is between 20-50km in diameter. It is the point around which the rest of the hurricane rotates.

The Hurricane’s eye remains calm because the winds converge toward the center but never reach it. A peculiar scientific phenomenon moves the winds away from the center. It is called the Coriolis force and deflects the winds from the center causing it to rotate around the hurricane.

‘AITA for making my daughter run away because of her curly hair’ story explored

The original post was made to the platform a couple of years ago but it managed to go viral once again because the writer had an update for the people. In it, the author pointed out that he was the father of three daughters. Two of his daughters had straight hair but his middle daughter had curly, blonde hair. Due to this, she could not maintain her hair like her siblings.

The middle daughter had to use a special conditioner and shampoo to maintain her hair. While the author, brought her what she needed he soon realized that she was going through them ‘like water.’ He asked the daughter to use them consciously as he purchased another set for her. However, he warned her that she would have to use the bottles for two months as she would not get new ones if they were finished before.

As the author expected, the bottles finished much ahead of time. Instead of buying her usual, the author decides to buy the shampoo and conditioner from the dollar store. However, the daughter is unhappy with it and reportedly throws a tantrum and it results in her leaving the home.

The author posts an update

A couple of days ago the author returned to the platform and posted an update about what happened. In it, he revealed that after the daughter ran away she ended up in his wife’s sister’s house. He also found out that she had been planning to leave the house for a while and had been saving up by working part-time after school.

However, in the note that she had left, the daughter mentioned that she couldn’t handle living with him. While the wife thought about getting a divorce to bring back the daughter the author notes that the idea was soon dropped because of the financial constraints they would face if he were to leave.

The author ended the post by writing that he and his wife were figuring out the best way to deal with the situation.

Reddit users react to the post

Many were having a hard time believing that the post was real. One user wrote: “I can’t believe this is real. I hope it’s fake.” Another added: “I doubt this story is real.”

“Also makes you wonder, if this was the one issue he thought other people would agree with him on, what are the issues he’s not talking about? (assuming this is real),” read one more comment.

“This is definitely about more than just curly hair,” another speculated. “There has to be way more to this,” said another.

Reddit user asks ‘AITA for breaking up with my girlfriend’

The Reddit user identifies his girlfriend as Sierra, whom he has been dating for four years. The boyfriend is head over heels in love with his lady and wanted to propose marriage two years into the relationship. However, he waited for another year so he could settle financially.

Last year, he finally proposed to his girlfriend on the beach where they had their first date. But, she refused to marry him because she wasn’t in the “right place personally” to get engaged yet.

The boyfriend was disappointed, but he didn’t let it get to his head too much because he pushed the proposal by a year for his own reasons.

He thought it was only fair to give his girlfriend the chance and waited for another year to ask her to marry him and this time, he sought the help of his friends to make it more beautiful.

Boyfriend’s proposal for marriage gets rejected for the second time

A year later, the Reddit user planned to propose to his girlfriend for marriage before a fountain in the city’s botanical garden. He and his friends even orchestrated a nice dinner to make the experience more memorable.

However, when the girlfriend saw the roses and everything else her man had planned for her, she teared up. When he got down on his knees, she said “Not just yet.” The boyfriend says her rejection for the second stung him yet again, but he didn’t see what was coming next.

As the boy was sure that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with his girlfriend, he asks her what was stopping her from marrying him. She responds by saying: “I just want to make sure that this will work.”

More than the rejection, the boyfriend was deeply hurt by the uncertainty about him and the relationship occupying his girlfriend’s mind. She decides to call quits on the relationship because, according to him, there was no point in holding on to it when his partner wasn’t sure about seeing him as her life partner.

When he said he couldn’t do it anymore, the girlfriend began begging him to not leave and said “Fine, I’ll marry you, just please don’t go.” The Reddit user says: “That made me mad, but I didn’t say anything. I left.”

However, many of his friends and family are still calling him out for ending the relationship of four years over two rejected proposals.

Users think he made the right decision

Reddit users think it’s high time the boyfriend moved on with his life because his girlfriend isn’t sure about settling with him and he did nothing wrong by choosing to walk away from the relationship.

One user wrote: “Four years is plenty of time. You are perfectly right to move on. She can not expect you to wait for her forever. She hasn’t even given you a legitimate excuse as to why she can’t.”

“She didn’t even suggest a long engagement just straight up said no 2 times, that tells me that she doesn’t want to marry op at all,” said another.

A third user said: “Heal up and move on. You were never quite what you wished she saw you as. Oh, and learn the lesson. Do not do a public proposal. I can’t believe she did this to you twice.”

“I don’t know what she’s playing at, but after four years, it should be a yes or no. She seems to be holding out for a better offer- find someone else,” added another.

Arrow-shaped ‘UFO’ allegedly spotted in Argentina

X, formerly known as Twitter, is abuzz with discussions about a supposed UFO, which doesn’t resemble a typical unidentified object.

The flying object in question is shaped like an arrow, many observers have opined, and it is said to have been spotted in Argentina. However, the claimed incident was never officially reported.

The images of the alleged sighting stem from a viral TikTok initially shared a couple of days ago. The photographs capture the so-called UFO from different angles.

In some pictures, it appears to be parallel to the ground, while it’s resting in a perpendicular position in others. It has a black overall body with bright lights around its circumference.

The caption accompanying the video claims: “Wonderful Flying Saucer captured in Chubut, Argentina.. August 2023.”

Users argue the photographs aren’t real

For more than one reason, users have refuted the claims about the arrow-shaped UFO. Critics have demanded more details about the sighting and the source of the pictures as wild rumors about aerial phenomena have become very common.

One user wrote: “Please tell me you don’t believe this is real! Why aren’t these pictures reported or verified if they a UFO was seen really seen in Argentina?”

Another user insisted that the pictures are fake and added: “I wonder how many photos they took before finalizing which throw is the most convincing”

“The photos just happen to be low quality so can’t see any detail which is not helpful,” said another person.

Another user argued: “These photos can’t be real. Looks like they were taken from a cartoon show,”

Rumors about aliens and UAPs have become common

Due to a lack of solid evidence to analyze any aerial phenomenon, speculations about UFOs and aliens have taken over social media platforms in the recent past.

This has further created an irrational fear of extraterrestrial lives possibly invading Earth as if the unproven claims by ufologists and their witnesses hadn’t confused common people enough.

Pinkydoll continued: “I see all these websites, how dare you? You gonna let other people put my face and my body out here doing stuff like that? I’m gonna sue all of you. You gonna play me?”

The LinkedIn confusion enters when the 27-year-old says “Pinkydoll naked”, but due to her accent, it sounds similar to “Pinkydoll Linkedin”. It prompted thirsty fans to hunt for her professional profile.

During her broadcasts, viewers send her digital gifts which translate into monetary payments. She reacts to each gift with a phrase in a cartoonish manner as if she is an in-game character. Pinkydoll often repeats her signature phrases as fans bombard her with gifts, but “ice cream so good” has become her trademark reaction.

Before TikTok fame, Sinon worked as a stripper and owned a cleaning business, but now earns at least $2000 per stream. Combining it with her Instagram and OnlyFans income, she rakes in an estimated $7000 per day.

Jamaica raft TikTok videos have been causing a stir online

A spate of videos pertaining to Jamaica rafts has been popping up on TikTok recently. One in particular, which was captioned with the words, ‘This is what happened to his girlfriend on a raft in Jamaica’ drew special attention and comments.

The video shows a woman lying down on a raft as a man, presumed to be in charge of the rafting experience, proceeds to lather her up with what appears to be suncream.

However, the man in question appears to be overstepping the boundaries and getting a little too close for comfort. The alleged boyfriend, who had been in the bathroom, interrupts by saying: “That’s my job brother.”

Both the woman and the raft ‘expert’ protest their innocence and argue that it’s simply all a part of the raft experience and “comes with the whole thing”.

“That’s what everybody does when they come to Jamaica”, the woman protests. The protestations continue until the boyfriend says to “wrap it up” and cancel the “package”.

The comments of the video were filled with people weighing in on the situation and who was in the wrong.

‘You did da right thing, its really on her’, one person replied.

‘U need a new lady,’ another added.

However, someone else disagreed, labeling the boyfriend ‘insecure’.

‘Jamaica Raft Plastic Bag’ video also dubbed ‘Martha Brae Special’ sparks memes and reactions

This latest TikTok appears to be the latest in a series of Jamaica raft videos that have been cropping up online. There appears to be a trend of men massaging cream into women, who seem as though they’re enjoying the experience, as they prepare to go out rafting.

‘Casually river rafting & i see birthday girl having the time of her life,’ one video was captioned.

Some have said that it is inappropriate. Others have remarked that as long as the women have agreed to it and are enjoying it, there’s no problem.

However, one video did overstep the mark, traumatizing people online as it showed two people engaging in adult activities on a raft.

The video in question, originally posted in 2022, has been dubbed ‘The Jamaica Raft Plastic Bag video’ or ‘The Martha Brae Special’, named after the river in Jamaica.

After recently going viral again, many took to social media to share their shock and horror, spawning a wave of memes and reactions.

According to The Jamaican Observer, one company, River Raft Limited, has disassociated itself from the viral video. They said:

“Rafting on the Martha Brae prides itself on providing nothing but excellent service to the many clients we host daily. Our complement of our 90 licensed raft captains are highly professional and take immense pride in their work.”

Wild ‘Mocha Fest videos’ go viral

The video in question surfaced on the internet on April 30 after it was posted by an Instagram user. While it’s been on the internet for a while, it suddenly received a lot of traction over the past few days.

The said video is a collection of three clips all apparently filmed at a Mocha Fest event. The three clips see several partygoers engaging in intimate acts with fellow attendees. While the Instagram video blocks most of the view, it is still easy to gauge what exactly is going on.

We obviously cannot post the video here, but it exists on Instagram user pierboy_tuk’s account. At the time of writing the video has 87 likes and a few comments. But it’s sure to blow up soon. Others are sharing clips they found via Twitter.

HITC and GRV Media have reached out to Mocha Fest for comment.

Internet users react to fest attendees getting frisky

Many internet users were shaken to their core to see people engaging in such acts in public.

However, a few others could not help but compare it to the Freaknik street parties popular in the 80s and 90s.

“Freak nik vibes,” one user wrote. However, another claimed the parties were mellow compared to this. “Freaknik is kiddie stuff compared to this,” they joked.

For the unversed, the Freaknik parties were famous among college students as well as non-students in the 80s and 90s. It was known to be a spot where attendees let loose way too much at times. But reports also say they got out of hand.

One person reacting to the alleged Mocha Fest video had an interesting take. “So I guess inflation made hotel rooms so expensive that people had done their h****g in the streets,” the user jested.

Someone else penned it made their ‘stomach churn’.

One TikTok user who came across the video said they would hand their wife the divorce papers if she ever insisted on going to the festival where the video arose from.

Mocha Fest takes place around the world

Mocha Fest is an Afro-American and Afro-Caribbean destination festival that takes place in nine locations worldwide.

The festival started in 2014. Its current locations are Atlanta, Cancun, Jamaica, Bahamas, Houston, Kenya, Greece, Dubai, and Thailand. The festival initially started off in Jamaica with only 200 people and has slowly become a worldwide phenomenon.

Giant ‘I Hate Boston’ billboard pops up in North End

The ‘I Hate Boston’ billboard, capitalised for dramatic effect, sprung up in the North End neighbourhood of the city this week, with various people trying to work out what it meant.

The phrase ‘I HATE BOSTON,’ was plastered on a white background and stood out among the Boston skyline like a sore thumb.

According to The Boston Globe, it is located around Cooper St. and Cross St., but can be seen from a better view towards the intersection of Valenti Way and Beverly St.

Various onlookers and people online reacted to the remarkably blunt messaging, with some agreeing wholeheartedly with the slogan and others rejecting it.

‘Nobody in their right mind can hate the hub of the universe,’ one person said on Twitter.

‘I second that,’ someone else put.

“I don’t see what’s wrong with it, I love it since I’ve been here. It’s really beautiful. I can’t complain about it,” another said.

Reneé Rapp explains the significance of her ‘I Hate Boston’ slogan

It didn’t take long for internet sleuths to work out the ‘I Hate Boston’ billboard was the work of Reneé Rapp. Rapp, who is from from Huntersville, North Carolina, is known for playing Regina George in Mean Girls on Broadway and her role in HBO‘s Sex Lives of College Girls.

The billboard is actually just a marketing tool for the 23-year-old singer and actress, as she has a new album, Snow Angel, which will be released on Friday (18 August).

“It’s more fun when people don’t know, and are very curious as to why I would do such a thing, and it is to incite fights and arguments,” she told tells WBZ-TV. “Cause you guys are very good at that, and you love that.”

However, she doesn’t actually hate Boston at all. She just hates an ex who lives there, who is the subject of her new song, I Hate Boston, which is the second track from her new album.

“Dear Boston, your accents though harsh, are always memorable, unlike any performance from your beloved Celtics, and don’t get me started on your Red Sox,” Rapp told CBS News Boston . “Yes, I had my heart broken by one of your own, but I know I can’t place that blame on you. Dear Boston, I’m sorry for the slander, I love you forever, but I do hate that man.”

It’s a pretty ingenious marketing ploy that’s certainly got people talking about her new album.

Husband asks ‘AITA for telling my wife it is time to go back to work’

The Reddit user’s wife has been out of work since 2018. She stopped working after she had a meltdown in her fifth year of teaching. She has since been in therapy and the couple started marriage counseling during the pandemic because of Covid.

As the husband is the only earning member of the family since his wife doesn’t have a job, he has been working extra hours at work, clocking in over 18 hours a day sometimes to save enough for their retirement as well as to handle the expenses of the house.

They sought the advice of a marriage counselor when his wife complained that he was pushing her too hard to go back to work, while he had to work extra shifts to make up for her share of the joint income.

They had another fight recently and when the Reddit user told his wife to go back to work and she said it wasn’t the right time yet. She has made great progress and by rushing in, she would be losing everything she’s worked toward in the last five years.

The wife broke down and blamed her husband for belittling her mental issues. The husband argued the added onus may cause him to have a meltdown, but he doesn’t have the luxury of not working like his wife.

Wife says the husband’s trying to manipulate her into taking up a job

Not only does the husband go to work, but he comes home to no dinner. The couple either orders food from restaurants or resorts to pre-made in the oven.

The wife was upset that her husband was complaining about their expenses when his individual earnings were more than their combined income, but she failed to realize he was investing in extra hours of work to earn for the two of them.

Apparently, the therapist also feels the husband’s issues aren’t as serious as his wife’s. When he suggested taking up a part-time job that could help him relax a little, the wife and therapist said he should instead cut back on his savings for retirement in addition to holding off on loans and managing the expenses until his wife is better.

The husband wanted them to downsize into a flat and rent their house out to support the mortgage, but the therapist advised against it as the change could be too drastic for his wife to fathom.

The husband finally realized he had a life of his own and he couldn’t clear his wife’s debts forever while she supported herself on his sole income.

In the update, the Reddit user revealed that he’s meeting with a lawyer to consider all his options as he’s decided to move out of the house he and his wife lived in. He will be staying with a friend until he sorts things out.

Users think he made the right choice

Reddit users have seconded the husband’s decision to walk out of the marriage and focus on his life.

“Despite the blow-up, I say NTA. You sound burned out and pushed beyond capacity. Five years of up to 84-hour weeks? Do you sleep?,” asked one.

Another added: “Ask her what about your mental and physical health. Also, are you sure the therapist is actually validating everything like this? Sounds a lot like your wife is just saying ‘but my therapist says…’ to sort of add weight to what she says. And to accuse you of manipulation is ridiculous.”

“It may be time to call this an unsustainable relationship and let it go,” said another.

Reddit user asks ‘AITA for adopting another baby’

The story follows a mother who is in her 40s and her desire to adopt a child. She and her husband are parents to two biological children.

The Reddit user’s friend had a surprise baby a couple of years ago and the baby was the youngest in the kids’ group. But, the child was very easy to take care of in comparison to the grown-up children in the family and upon seeing her friend have another baby, the Reddit user started thinking about having a child.

This gave her a baby fever – the strong urge to have a child – but her biological children weren’t too thrilled about it. As she is 40 years old, the only viable option for the woman and her husband to have a child was through adoption, so they ended up bringing home a 2-year-old.

The new baby has been provided for and the Reddit user says she isn’t partial toward it, but her biological children didn’t make efforts to get along with their sibling. They rather would lock themselves in the room with their cousins than spend time with the new member of the family.

Not only did the children avoid the baby, but the teen daughter even threatened to move in with her uncle. The mother told her to do so, but her daughter has since stopped talking to her.

Her friend supports the teen daughter

Much to the Reddit user’s surprise, her friend who she drew inspiration from to adopt a baby, called her out for wanting to have a baby but not a child whose responsibility she can take.

The argument between the Reddit user and friend blew up when she was blamed for her age, which the latter thought wasn’t appropriate to raise a child.

Even though her friend’s kids are born years apart, the Reddit user didn’t like to be treated differently for adopting a child who is much younger than her biological children.

She said, everybody is against her for choosing the new baby over her grown-up children, while her husband is the only person to stand by her side in the decision to expand their family.

Mother’s decision divides users

Some users think the mother did nothing wrong by choosing to have another child with her husband as they claim to have enough resources to support all their children as well as treat them equally, but others think the decision to adopt a baby should have convinced all members of the family before they went ahead with it.

One comment read: “‘Trust me, when a kid threatens to move out and the parent acts like they don’t care, that really really hurts the kid! YTA!”

“YTA. It should be a FAMILY decision to bring in another member.,” said another.

“You all are so negative, she’s in the right age and financial situation to have a baby. baby fever may have been a motivation, but she did nothing wrong,” opined one.

Another asked: Both parents wanted a baby and they are willing to raise it. What’s the issue here?”

“So it’s day 2 after falling off a cliff, 80 foot cliff,” Caleb went on. “For the past two days all of the doctors thought that my spine or neck was broken and I just got out of another MRI and it turns out, somehow, miraculously that it’s not broken, just irritation. And I personally can not make up an explanation for that other than thank you, Jesus.

“So thank you so much God and I just want everybody to know that anybody that is supporting me, I really appreciate you guys and I’m doing my best to get better.”

Caleb only moved to Hawaii in May.

Since the relocation, Caleb changed his page’s bio to read: “Living life to the fullest in Hawaii.”
