Hey, so, some people don’t want to have kids.
Some people can’t have kids. There’s all kinds of reasons someone ends up not having kids.
LET THEM BE.
Don’t end up creating a situation like this:
aitah for telling my dad i’m not wasting 18 years of my life on some kid because he wants a grandchild?
i F17 get calls from my dad every 2 weeks (he’s in prison).
Every single time the topic of my future after college is brought up it’s “oh i want a grandkid, when you find the right one you’ll want kids” mind you he has two other daughters…
But she um…she doesn’t feel great about kids.
i HATE kids i despise them.
i will never ever EVER want to be a mother, but my father is obsessed with the idea.
since im the oldest daughter he’s always like “well since your the oldest you have to give me the first grandchild” i tell him everytime i hate kids.
i even had to explain to him if the possibility came up of me being pregnant i would not keep it.
today when we called the topic of family was brought up and i told him i hate kids like always.
That seems pretty clear cut.
But apparently it’s not.
he said “well i want a grandson” i told him im not going to throw away 18 years of my life for a child i know i dont want.
he said give it to him then and i told him he chose the streets over his daughters why would i give him another kid?
he got really mad then just said he loves me and hung up.
i personally feel like i didnt say anything wrong because my father isnt the only person to say this. my family has the idea that its just a phase im going through when its not i really hate kids.
Pregnancy just isn’t for her.
i would never want to put my body through the struggles of pregnancy, and i honestly don’t care how rude it sounds.
i have no personal beef with anyone who chooses to be mothers like congrats to you!!
but i know for me as a person i dont want them EVER.
A little goes too long a way.
i can babysit sure but having my own yeah no!!
i’ve never been interested in being a mother and i never will be.
i know i hurt his feelings but i feel like if i don’t stand my ground the message will never get across.
so aitah?
Let’s check in with the comments:
You’ve gotta live your own life.
You’re too young for this.
He’s not in the right here.
That’s a lot of yikes coming from behind those bars.
Turn and walk away.
