Relationships can be very complicated, especially when you involve the parents of the couple.

What would you do if you were renting a house from your boyfriend’s parents, but now they want you to take a paternity test for your unborn child to confirm their son is the father?

That is the situation the mom-to-be in this story is in, and she says she will take the test if they will pay for it, but they think she should foot the bill.

Check it out.

AITA for telling my boyfriends parents they need to pay for the paternity test?

My partner (27m) and I (31f) broke up and then got together again several months later.

Before we separated his parents had gone out of their way to buy a house for us to rent from them as a couple.

A few months after he and I got back together (something he kept secret from them due to them making him promise he wouldn’t let anyone move in or allow any cats in the house again).

I got pregnant with his child.

Once his parents found out that we were seeing each other again and there was a baby involved they told him that I was not allowed to move back in.

During a meeting at dinner they said that they wanted us to complete a paternity test.

This seems very reasonable.

I told them that I understood why they would want that but that my insurance didn’t cover it because it’s not a medical necessity and that I couldn’t afford it so if it was something that they wanted then they would need to pay for it.

(because I already know who the father is and I’m not paying over a 1000 dollars out of pocket for a test I know the answer to).

Later I messaged my bf’s mom with a link to a test with a discounted sale price of $300.

That sounds like a good deal to me.

She responded that if that was for pre-natal then that was a great deal and that she would probably call them the next day for more information.

The next day I reached out to her to see if she had learned anything and got no response.

The following day I asked again and got no response.

The day after that I apologized for being a pest if she was busy and asked again and still got nothing but silence so I dropped it and just let it go.

They were the ones who wanted it.

Now my bf tells me that his parents are angry at me for demanding that they pay for the test and then asking if they’d made any progress on getting one scheduled.

He agrees with them that I was wrong to do so.

I don’t think I am, because I feel like they’re the ones who want it and don’t see why they would have expected to tell us to get one and have us pay for it but apparently that dynamic is normal between them in his family.

AITA?

Honestly, this seems reasonable and the parents should foot the bill.

Let’s see what the people in the comments think about the story.

It’s a little late for this.

This commenter says she should move out.

This person questions if the boyfriend is helping at all.

This person says she is being a nag about it.

Maybe the boyfriend doesn’t know he is the father.

It sounds like there are a lot of issues in this relationship.

And that’s an understatement.
