Ex-Husband Angry His Ex-Wife Doesn't Treat His Lovechild Like Their Son, Everyone Else is Confused


When you cheat on your partner and produce offspring from said affair, don't expect them to accept them with open arms. That being said, it's not the kid's fault that their father is a morally-bankrupt swine, so maybe don't take it out on them either. II would hope that the most emotionally mature among us would manage to get through our mixed feelings and trauma and treat the child with the kindness they need. 

But pay to take them to Disney as if they were your own child? Oh, hell no.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A-Hole) subreddit by the concerned mother, u/Tro_Mig_Ikke. She posted the topic to the popular sub in order to get the reader's opinions as to whether or not she was in the wrong for refusing to take her ex's child. 

Commenters overwhelmingly sided with her and wondered why he would even consider demanding such a thing. 

"That's not your kid, why would you pay for him to go?!" commented reader throwfaraway212718, "His conception literally led to your divorce! And for your ex to try and use your son to manipulate you like that is disgusting. Screw that noise; take your son to Disney and have a blast. NTA."

"I'm not gonna blame the kid for this," Tro_Mig_Ikke maturely replied, "It was my ex's fault for cheating in the first place, and he didn't ask to be born, thank you for the support though, I do realize that he's manipulating my son."
