Having a child is bliss, especially when it is your first one. The excitement levels in the family are off the charts and everyone is just extremely anxious to hold the baby for the first time when it finally arrives in the world. All these are symbols of love and affection and should be seen promoted everywhere around the world.
Unfortunately, though, this bliss was not promoted in this family which is the center of focus of the story we have got for you guys today. Reddit user Confident-Addition76 is a soon-to-be father whose wife has decided to create a list of people who will not be allowed to hold their baby when it gets born. The list also contains the names of OP’s father and sister. He feels this is unfair and they deserve to hold the baby. However, the wife says because her FIL used to ab*se her husband when he was a child, she won’t allow him to hold her baby. She won’t even allow the grandfather to see ultrasound pictures of his grandson. When OP tried to take pictures and send them to his father, he got threatened by his wife and her side of the family with divorce.
Scroll down below to read the events of probably the weirdest story you will ever come across.
1. What has the grandfather done to deserve this? Let’s find out.
2. OP’s father and sister have been added to the list of people who will not be allowed to hold the baby when it is born and the husband doesn’t like it.
3. She better have a really solid decision to not allow her father-in-law to hold her baby or else this sounds really psychotic.
4. The health reasons part I can understand. But “dirty”? I am sure the grandfather will wash his hands before holding the baby. What is this?
5. Everyone has mutually agreed on this decision except for OP, he still feels this is wrong because his in-laws will be holding the baby when it gets born so why not her in-laws?
6. They have come down to threatening OP with divorce and not telling him when the baby will be born. Crazy!
7. OP got called immature and rude for wanting his own father to hold his first baby? Farewell, logic.
8. OP feels he and his father are being disrespected by his wife and her family with this decision.
9. The wife refused to have the father see the baby through the ultrasound pictures either.
An update came in 2 days later:
10. OP allowed his dad to see the picture. The wife did not like her husband going against her created laws.
11. The wife resorted to physical ab*se to stop her husband from sending ultrasound pictures to his father.
Brother? Is this woman crazy? What is this woman on? Seriously, what does she think will happen if the grandfather sees the picture of his yet-to-be-born grandson? It is not like he will be physically touching the baby by looking at a picture of it. Her decision was that OP’s father will not be allowed to hold the baby. Sure, but not allowing him to even look at his pictures is rude, outrageous, and criminal. And then this woman goes on to punch her husband as he tries to send the pictures to his father. She needs to be reported for physical ab*se. Imagine when her son grows up and he goes against one of her decisions or laws, will she start punching her baby as well? Absurd!
Let’s read what happened next. Scroll down below to continue.
12. Turns out the reason why the wife doesn’t want her FIL to hold her baby is that he used to ab*se her husband when he was a child.
And what you just did to your husband? Was that not ab*se? You punched that guy and manhandled him. You are no different. That means the wife shouldn’t be allowed to hold her own baby either…if that is the criteria she is setting.
13. OP told the MIL to stay out of it…rightfully.
14. Well try conceiving without the sperm. I would like to see that happen.
15. OP had to finally give up and he rushed out of the room.
16. OP returns to the room after cooling himself down and now the wife wants a divorce. For heaven’s sake, what is wrong with this wife? And her side of the family is supporting this decision of hers too.
17. It is hard to get out of it after being mentally ab*sed that horribly…by your own wife.
18. OP’s father had some issues with anger management which made it not easy for him to see his wife and son.
19. But OP’s father is a changed man now. OP believes a grandfather-grandson bond is absolutely necessary for any child.
20. Well then I would officially like to declare OP’s wife mentally disabled. She shouldn’t be allowed to take decisions concerning her child at all.
