I think the father wasn't wrong protecting his wife, but expecting his daughter to be excited for them wasn't ever really going to happen. Both sides had a valid argument, and in the end I mostly feel bad for that baby who will probably never really remember their dad as anything other than a senior too old to do much with them.

I once babysat a kid that ended up having a mild medical emergency (a glass broke and the child got glass imbeded in her foot) I tried calling the parents. They didn't pick up after numerous attempts of reaching them. I called my mom who is a medical professional and she walked me through what to do. When the parents got back they asked why I kept calling and I ruined their night with the constant calling. I told them there was an emergency and I was trying to reach them. They felt bad and apologized after that. So, even if you do leave a child with an actual babysitter, make sure you can still be reached in the event something bad does happen.

After dippers ran up (we were pay check to paycheck) Mom had to use towels and this is when she called police and CPS. They took the child and when she did turn up it was to scream at my mom...

Exactly. Exactly this! What life is this child going to have when OP gets sick due to declining health and can't provide for his wife and child because he's got to pay for hospital fees and possibly even home care fees. OP wasn't even active in the lives of his two eldest children. He didn't play with them or anything. As somebody who had a stepfather who sounds an awful lot like OP, I carry a lot of hatred and resentment towards him because it didn't even seem like he wanted children at all. He was the same way towards his own children, too.

The "prank" reminds me of this court case where a guy's alleged buddies hired a couple of big scary guys to throw him in a trunk and terrorize him. The guy was so scared he had a minor heart attack. Needless to say he survived to sue.

The last story brings to mind my mom, who got pregnant at age 17 as well (not with me). Even her verbally abusive mom reacted astronomically better than OP did. I don't know how mean she was about it or how she berated my mom, but I do know the most audacious thing she did was get mad because "you can't have the baby on January XX! That's MY birthday!" Which is utterly ridiculous, but I'd take it over getting disowned in a heartbeat. As for my mom's dad and grandma, they had what I think is an APPROPRIATE reaction to your teenager getting pregnant. I don't know that many details, or how they reacted when they first found out, but apparently their attitude through my mom's pregnancy was "That's not good, but it's already happened so the important thing is to figure out what to do next. Getting angry and punishing you won't solve anything, because growing a baby gives you plenty of consequences to deal with already." And they were right. Morning sickness and general fragility really suck. Labor is awful. Having the boy you loved ditch you and finding out he's a two-timer is the worst. Taking care of a baby before you are ready really sucks. Pushing out a child and then giving it up for adoption *(what my mom did)* is painful. But, OP, your reaction DOES NOT HAVE TO ADD TO HER PAIN. You are abandoning her when she needs you most, and you've said things I don't think you can ever take back.

Not only did this mom leave her child with someone who isn’t a baby sitter, without telling them she was going She didn’t even pick up or respond when that person watching her child tried to contact her! What if her child got sick or hurt? Would she just have not picked up the phone?

I feel you; although my parents didn't have a big age gap, my dad died when I was young and my mum had awful arthritis, so was physically a lot older, and with no cousins/uncles/aunts around, I was always raised with the 'sit down, be quiet, have some crayons, our knees aren't what they used to be' philosophy. THAT messed me up enough, being kept from any physical activity which I really enjoyed, even though everyone who helped raise me were still very loving. I don't want to say 'older people shouldn't have kids', but if you're going to care about those kids, you have to consider all of the drawbacks. Kids deserve love and fun, being chased around and able to actually feel some sort of freedom, instead of being trapped in their parents' physical confines. It depends on the parents a lot, obviously, and plenty of people can make it work, but with my upbringing it really makes me itch.

@@stargazertomura2708 Agree 100%. I have lost my beloved granddad almost 7 years ago and it feels like it happened yesterday sometimes. I remember saying the craziest things about him when he passed. For example I thought that he was alive and used an excuse of being hospitalized and dying for my mom (his daughter) to come and visit him. We were running low on money and after what my mom had seen hanging in his apartment, it made sense. He had pictures all over the room of me, my brother and my mother plus some little things he loved to do. Like making dried up plants by leaving them in books and so and so. I think it's clear that he missed us all so much and probably wanted to go back to his family despite us not being able to afford it. Still to this day I thank my mom for not seeing my granddad after he passed away in an accident quite young (around 69 maybe). At first I was angry only my mom went back to Ukraine and dad said it would be too expensive for both of us to go. But this left me with nothing to grasp onto. I haven't seen anything so it's almost like I don't know anything. I believe he's still alive somewhere simply because I never saw him/his grave since he passed. My mom had bought a piece of land where her mom was buried and later my granddad too. And yes. No justice ever happened. No compensation no nothing. Ukrainian police is very corrupt. And I guess not even my granddad's social status was even enough to corrupt them into the truth. He was part of the soviet secret services as an army man. We still own his uniform. My dad on the other hand almost blamed her on this. He said prior to him leaving that it would have been a bad choice and he should just stay in Italy (here there's not as much corruption and things operate better). And she insisted he should go back to his country. This almost makes me hate my origins. I hate to say it but according to multiple testimonies Ukraine is not a place you want to be found in a bad state. Nothing works, not even public transportation in the capital city. In hospitals people are left to die and corruption started to rise after they left soviet union and became a poor country. So yes. He's not truly dead for me. I miss him as my friend/playmate but I'm now 20. I don't play with toys and if I need to entertain myself I know how to. Or I can just ask my mom to play cards with me. Or I just go on a walk or venture in my many hobbies. It's not the same. I think my mom will always be a step behind him since I grew up with her dad. She told me on multiple occasions how she thinks he loved me more than her. And since he came here to Italy to look after me and my dumbass brother, I grew up with him as my caretaker while mom and dad worked a normal nine to five job both. And I guess that made my mom happy that someone was there at home that loved me as much as them and was happy he loved her daughter so much. She wasn't acting like a stupid Karen wanting his love to herself. Also they had a rocky relationship. They would argue a lot on things he did. Like gritting drunk etc.

I didn't want to be too long nor emotional but sometimes when things hit it feels like a river about to flood everything. Words just come out of my mouth and I can't control them. I also feel safer on line cause I don't have to address people face to face. Also to conclude with the story, I still feel guilty for the things I could have done better with him. Like giving him my ID photo he asked for, to stick on his notebook. Or kiss him on the cheek without complaining every time my mom asked for a kiss in his presence. Or to simply love him more. At first when he left it felt like a relief. Mom used him as a private guard for me: always picking me up from school and going everywhere with me. I felt like I could finally do whatever I wanted. But I quickly started crying I wanted him back and I missed him. When he came back for the holidays I cried until he said he wouldn't physically be able to go until I stopped crying cause it was hurting him. I now feel selfish I stayed home playing Mario Kart the day my family brought him to his plane to his then forever home in Ukraine. Then I see my mom's friend (about 46) cry because of this friend's granddad passing. I wish I was that lucky. I only have now a very sick granddad an all then rest are dead. My grandmom died of natural causes and my other one due to neglected diabetes (I think so, my mom refuses to talk about it. Even if she had a cold relationship with her parents she still loved them and refuses to talk.)

Personally would have responded with "oh thank you for telling me! I was with her in her last moments. I'm sorry but I can't afford to care for you now since her medical bills are pilling up! I'm sorry, but you have to either pay more rent or leave" then when they're all packed say "gotcha! Pay backs a bitch!" And whenever anyone complained just say "it was just a prank!"

With the hospital prank one, I can't believe he would make OP think that their mom is in the hospital, let alone the fact that he knew they had high BP and it would cause them stress, and didn't even apologize or anything. Not only did it cause them to panic, but it also could have been a health risk for OP! OP was 100% in the right to kick him out, if he was gonna act like that and not acknowledge it could of ended up badly.

I never comment but the story with the 60 year old resonated with me. I was adopted at the age of 3 months as soon as I left the nursery. My parents were 50 at the time, and many people told them they were too old to adopt because they can't run around and so on so forth. My parents did all they could to assure I had a great childhood and even played video games with me(even though they didn't know what they were doing) And these are all great memories that I love. Now I am 31 and moved to the states 4 years ago and am helping them any way I can so they can fix the house we have in Puerto Rico so they can move here with me. They are 80 and 81 atm. And I say age was never a bad thing here. They told me how people were gonna think they were my grandparents because of their age and that I should not get upset and correct them calmly. Sorry this went on for long and I went around in circles. I am horrible at writing down my thoughts. Hope everyone has a GREAT day!

Can you imagine even saying "It's a prank bro. Your Mum's not dead. You should have invited me to that dinner"? Even typing that felt wrong.

In the brother's prank history: ironically, if OP has high pressure it means that OP could have a stroke from what the brother did In the daughter's history I sort of agree with rSlash his wife was PREGNANT, showing support is the minimum you can do for them, if you want to speak what you think about it say it without the wife hearing, talk with OP in private be respectful, this way y'all can understand each other and fix this issue without severally offending anyone

As a person who’s 49 year old dad is dating a 25 year old, I can’t help but feel uncomfortable with the whole situation. If I found out my dad got a girl young enough that I could go to college with her in a year pregnant… I don’t know what I’d do. I’d probably have a similar reaction to OP, except I’d leave dinner and not talk to him for a while. I completely understand OP’s feelings. I’m on her side, even if my situation is a little less aged.

When you put someone's health at risk or lie about someone having an emergency, that is no longer "just" a prank. Also, people have literally attempted murder by telling people family members were in the hospital. Usually they cut the breaks, but stressing someone out with health issues is dangerous too

The story with the older OP hit hard. The point R/slash makes about terminal people is personal. I have a terminal illness that will take me out of the game but my wife wanted to have a child with me. I’m 42 and she’s 39. We both decided that we would move forward because she is totally prepared and able to support a child and I have a big family who will support her (emotionally. She is a doctor and is not reliant on anyone for financial assistance). I hope I have more time than not with my child but I also feel better knowing my wife won’t be alone when I am no longer around. This child isn’t born yet but is already loved more than I could imagine. It’s no one’s business what people decide to do with their lives when they are responsible in making decisions. Hope the OP and his wife are happy.

FACTS

With the teen pregnancy story, commonly narcissists think of people as the versions of them they had the most control over

The story with the big age gap... I think the daughter had an incredibly valid and important point about his age and bringing a child into a world where there's a good chance they won't get the experiences of an active family dynamic during their formative years with his age... and likely won't have him around once they become an adult themselves. However with that said, it shouldn't preclude the value of bringing life into the world. My father passed when I was a young teen, but I wouldn't want him to have chosen not to have children if he knew he only had so few years left. And I don't think he would have made that choice either. It was also a terrible time on her part to give such a reaction. That's a private discussion to have at a later time AND it's not like she can change anything at this point.

As someone who _actually had_ parents with a 30 year age gap, I understand both sides of the story. Frankly, I find no one the asshole in that situation.

On the second story - The idea that you're obligated to support family when they're acting stupid *just* because their family sounds fine on paper, but what about supporting yourself? In this case, just giving Kevin a slap on the back could easily give the message that his behavior was acceptable, and I know from experience that supporting family despite their harmful behavior can give that family member the room to grow into a more toxic influence. I think kicking him out was the right move. At the very least he'll realize that what he did was cruel and inappropriate.

I’m grateful that my mom had me and let alone raise me on her own with the help of my grandma but my mom had me at 40. When I was 10, kids from the summer school I was going to saw my mom and started to make remarks on how old she was. Til this day I remember the most heart wrenching thing they said about my mom “ who’s mom is that ?! She’s so old, she’s probably gonna die before her kid even grows up!” They all began to laugh as I was holding back tears. I’m 22 now and she’s 62 I’m scared she’s gonna die before I’m able to have kids of my own.

The old op with a young pregnant wife. Listen to what the daughter said. It sounds like the daughter is trying to insinuate that she didn't feel like her dad was a great dad already and out would be worse when he was doing it at double threw age he was when he did it with her.

Here's the thing that gets me with the step brother one - his OWN mother is deceased - how out of touch with reality do you have to be to pull something like that? If it were me, I would have 100% cut all ties, severed the relationship and shut him out - if he were really 'struggling' because his own mother is dead, he wouldn't have pulled something like this. Negative 5 buttholes for the OP, and the rare 5 Buttholes for the step brother, upgraded from 4 knowing about his own mother being dead.

The last story: Any parent would be angry when they heard this, but a good parent would accept the truth and then support their child and their possible new grandchild despite them being angry.

That first story is abhorrent! I grew up with a nanny, Edie, who I love very much. (Yes, I grew up in an extremely wealthy family.) Edie was a second mother to me and to think of someone hurting her like that makes me feel physically sick. If I ever did something that despicable, my mother and father would have not only made me apologize and beg for forgiveness, the punishment would have been severe, long, and public in the sense all my family and friends would know what I did. I was raised with high expectations of values, morals, integrity and ethics. Not only should that daughter be punished, but if possible the mother too. My parents would never accuse someone without proper investigation and reason. Even then, it would be broached with diplomacy. I would like to add that a nanny is much more than just a babysitter. A nanny becomes a very valued and very loved member of the family. After my brother and I were grown, Edie stayed on as an “overseer of the home”, ensuring day to day tasks were done. My parents didn’t want her to lose her job and health insurance so they made up a position for her. They built her a house on a beautiful piece of land for her and her daughter, where she still lives (and yes she owns it), as well as a pension that includes full health care. (Medical, dental and vision). Edie retired 20 years ago and is still at every family celebration, holiday, and visits my parents regularly. I still fly home every June 13th for her birthday and we talk weekly. I love that woman as much as my own mother. The bond that a nanny has with the children and family is so strong. What I am trying to say is that nannies are such a special part of the family and deserve to be treated as such. Scratch that. Nannies ARE family. I am so fortunate to have this amazing woman in my life. Edie- I love you to bits and bobs.❤

I had a similar incident with me 17yo daughter ,who got pregnant from a 1night stand with a stranger, BUT i said this "I'm excited for you to be a mother, I'm VERY excited to be a grandfather And I'm angry that you were so irresponsible with a stranger. Come back on saturday (it was thursday) and I'll be over the anger part and we can start on talking about all the good that's coming" I also walked her to the door, hugged her and kissed her head before she left.

They’re consenting adults though. Whatever.

When my 17 year old told me she was pregnant, I was terrified that her dad would lose it & freak out.... I was absolutely numb & didn't know what to feel. We told him & he was absolutely overjoyed. He was so excited to become a grandpa. Now we have the most beautiful 7 month old granddaughter. I couldn't imagine not being around during the pregnancy, birth & now, watching her grow. That dad is missing out.

I kinda got upset when rSlash mentioned the terminate disease in the couple with the age gap story. Most parent who get a TD is either aldready with kids, or pregnant when the disease is discovered. It rare that a person with a TD tries to get a kids, because of the health issues to them and possibly the baby. And you choose the have a child at an old age, you DON'T choose to get a TD. I mostly grew up without a mom becuase of cancer and it was traumatizing. My dad did a good job, but watching my mother getting weaker and weaker, to the point where she had to be in a wheel chair, and then sit there and watch her die, knowing that she wil never see you grow up and have kids of your own. It's absolutely horrible. My mom did not have a choice in this. They tried to fight it but it was too late. OP DOES have a choice. By choosing to become a father at that age, he is choosing to put his child through that. I get that people can get 100+, but that is not a sure thing. The world sucks and people die of unatural thngs all the time, we can't control that. But to actively decide to become an old father, he is very likely putting a child through the pain and trauma of losing a parent in an early age. I get that his wife really wants that child, and i'm sorry, but that's selfish. They are only thinking about their own needs/wants, and have clearly not sat down and talked about what this is going to mean for that child. Am i the only one who thinks that?

​@@hydrokineticpowerhouse I think most people gloss over the part how painful it is for parents when something like that happens. I mean, what could have the Dad done? If he were a helicopter parent, the daughter would still grow messed up. Loosen the reins a little, and sh*t hits the fan too. I currently do not have this problem yet--- and I hope I neer do. They're just glossing over the fact that he was utterly betrayed and hurt too.

3rd story: That's not the problem, RSLASH is completely missing the point here. The point is that his wife if half his age, and they're 100%, no doubt about it, going to try their hardest to uproot his daughter's life to force a relationship between the two stepsiblings. And another thing. HIS WIFE IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLDER THAN HIS DAUGHTER. If you're going to remarry, the limit on how young you can remarry should be that the new spouse can't be within 5 years older than your oldest kid, and no younger. And that's not even counting the fact that she's half his age.

I have a feing RSLASH is prolly into underaged girls and this is why he sees nothing wrong with it.

“It’s just a prank” isn’t viable when you’re toying with emotions on that level. How else do you EXPECT someone to react? Just an “Oh you” when they find out you lied about your mom having a potentially deadly complication? For the birthday thing I can KINDA get the daughter’s concerns, but in the end that’s the kinda stuff you keep to yourself. As much as she would worry about the kid, they’ll still have a mom who loves them and happy memories with their dad, even at a young age. Sucks to have your birthday canceled, but it probably sucks more to have your kids belittle you when you aren’t being an entitled POS. That final guy, oh boy. Makes you wonder why his daughter would be hesitant to tell him? Maybe the fact that he was the one giving her the vote of confidence that she would make the right choice, telling her steps to take, and overall showing that he trusts her made it a lot harder to explain that somewhere along the way something slipped up and she got pregnant. And his reaction shows that she was RIGHT TO BE AFRAID OF THAT. The man throws a toddler-like tantrum and decides he’s never going to talk to her again instead of being an adult, taking some time to process his anger, and still loving his daughter despite any mistake she made. Sure, you’re gonna be upset and junk for a while, but a good dad would be able to step back, get his emotions in order, and go back to loving his daughter instead of blocking her out of his life.

The father in that last story is absolutely despicable. His teenage daughter got pregnant. Sure, teenage pregnancies are mostly frowned upon, but things like that happen every day. If I were the father, I would tell her “while I am disappointed that you weren’t careful, I want you to know that your mother and I will always support you.” Instead, the father said “you’re pregnant?! F*ck off, and don’t talk to me again!”

I get the idea he never treated his older kids that well and the kids are upset because this is a "do over baby".

Story 1 Make a new contract saying if the parental guardian leaves me alone with the child, child care is $50 a minute

About the 60-something guy who's having a baby: 1) Just because 2 people are both adults doesn't mean that their ages aren't a problem, especially when you have a kid that's honestly the same age as your new wife. The daughter is a saint for being polite about that part in general. 2) Besides that, the daughter has a right to have a lot of negative feelings about this pregnancy. They're valid, the situation feels gross, and the dinner was supposed to be about father and daughter. 3) After the pregnancy was brought up, even though the daughter's gut feelings were valid and the time they were brought up was probably inappropriate, it may have been more polite for her to address those concerns with her dad privately and maybe later, if she was able to hide her distaste for the duration of dinner for the sake of the excited mother to be. Additionally, I'm not sure how she thought SHE was going to be able to enjoy the rest of dinner let alone that she would get angry that the people she did just challenge, rightfully or not, asked her to leave. All in all, I think they both were equally justified and unjustified. You can't expect your daughter who is the same age as your wife to not have a LOT of feelings about you getting remarried at all, let alone your wife's age, and then having a baby when it sounds like you weren't even always there for her. However, it is your and your wife's lives and you have a right to fill those lives how you like and someone trashing your excitement over a huge life occurrence is definitely enough reason to remove them from yours for an evening. 2/5 assholes for both parties. Maybe not the wife.

The problem I have with the age gap one is that the daughter tried to be diplomatic about it and just said she was too shocked for words. But then they pressed her for her opinion about it, got mad when she gave it to them, and kicked her out for it. That's why I'd give them a slightly higher butthole score.

the moment i heard me, “61 and my wife, 31, “ i instantly checked out. this man was 30 when his wife was BORN. AND NOT TO MENTION HIS WIFE IS ONLY TWO YEARS YOUNGER THAN HIS *DAUGHTER.* im already checked out because of that. how do you think the daughter feels about hearing that his dads banging a girl only 2 years older than her for crying out loud?! it also sounds like the daughter had gripes about her fathers presence in her childhood. remember everyone, we’re hearing this from HIS point of view only, i feel like theres something missing for her to have such a reaction…idk this last part is highly opinionated on my side, coming from someone w parents with a huge age gap, i wouldnt trust a guy who actively bangs a woman in the same age group as his daughter.

In the first story, the mom left without even letting the tutor know or asked if it’s okay. She didn’t ask because she KNEW it wasn’t okay. This is on her

For the story about the older parent, I'd say that either no one's the a-hole or OP's a bit of an a-hole. The daughter is allowed to give her concerns/opinion on the scenario, and I honestly think she didn't go too far with it. She mentioned potential issues and how odd the scenario could be. It's understandable that the couple would be upset, but I think calling off the whole celebration was somewhat overdramatic when he could've just asked her to leave if he felt so uncomfortable. I wouldn't give him a high score, but if anyone is an a-hole in this situation it's the couple/dad or no one at all.

rSlash, the reason why people react to old people having children is because how DEVASTATING it is to lose a parent when you're young. Just talk to anyone that lost their parents at a young age, and it's guaranteed they are in, have been in, or desperately needs therapy.

That last story honestly shook me. OP was a near perfect representation of my parents. My parents had betrayed my trust many times recently, taking my phone and scrolling down my text. They made me stop talking to a friend and my gf. We still sometimes talk but our relationship has never been the same. I am usually hella clingy when I meet someone and she was my first gf. I didn’t want to end like this, I wanted to end naturally. When this happened my father looked at me with disappointment and shook his head while my mom was screaming in the background, I still can't forget that. I don’t trust them with anything and always try to hide everything from them since I know that they are going to shout at me. Maybe I'm overreacting, I honestly don't know anymore (btw I am still in high school).

Rslash, your judgements have been terrible lately. The dad and his wife half his age are TA.

I have family members that have basically disowned them as a result.
