AITA Hold That Baby Law He Won’t Let His Sister In Law Hold His Baby. Is He a Jerk?

You want to hold this baby?

You?!?!

Forget about it!

Uh oh…those sound like fightin’ words to me.

And this guy wants to know if he’s an a**hole for saying that to his sister-in-law.

Read his story below and see if you think he was out of line.

AITA for not letting my sister in law hold our baby?

“My wife and I just brought home our beautiful baby.

When we got home, I wanted my older son to hold the baby (he is fourteen), but my wife said no. She said she wasn’t comfortable with anyone but us holding the baby yet. I wasn’t happy about this, but I respect that, as a mom, she’s anxious about how vulnerable our baby is. So I let it go.

Yesterday her sister came over and wanted to hold the baby. I said no, that my wife and I aren’t comfortable with anyone but us holding him yet. My wife then said it was fine, that her sister was a special case. I said no, that I wasn’t comfortable with it. Her sister was offended and left.

My wife is angry with me and says I was an a**hole to her sister. I think I am just being consistent. Was I an a**hole to my sister in law?”

Here’s what Reddit users had to say about this.

One person said he’s NTA and he was only standing up for his son.
