AITA for kicking a family member of my house after she demanded I hide my baby?

r/

My husband, 46M, and I, 35F, have a 4-month-old baby. He is our first child, so it has been a great blessing for both of us. Their family is quite close, but my husband, I’ll call him Isaac, always needs some space from them. He is there for them when they need him (with money and other things), but he always preferred to live a little far from them (he used to live in Canada). Due to differences circumstances, we ended up moving 20 minutes away by car from his family. It was okay because we weren’t living next door to them or in the same neighborhood, I have nothing against his family in fact I respect his parents a lot and love his mom very much, I think we are in a good place now after some situations but I wouldn’t want to live in the neighborhood they live in, it’s a very religious neighborhood, I lived there for many years and I just don’t feel like it’s my place at this point in our lives, my husband feels the same way so we were happy living in another neighborhood and with a lot more privacy, things were going well… until a few months ago one of my husband’s nephews we’ll call him Jack had a problem and he had to leave his apartment. My husband’s father asked us if we could let him live in our downstairs apartment for two months… those two months turned into 4, then 6… and now its turned into 8 months, they have been living in an apartment that at market rate would be around $2000 dollars for free and enjoying my garden and other amenities of our house. I haven’t been happy with this situation because one of the reasons we don’t live in the same neighborhood as his family is because we want privacy. Which, while we do live in two separate houses, has been made difficult because Jake’s family, or Jake’s wife’s (I’ll call her Beth) family, is always hanging around, even in my backyard. I’ve been extremely patient, but like I said before, I recently had a baby and some things got out of hand. Beth and I were pregnant around the same time, well… the short story is, she lost her baby around 4 months (after a long time trying to get pregnant) and I can’t imagine how painful that must have been. The first few months, I tried not to talk about my pregnancy in front of her, even if some family members asked me things, I tried to avoid her and then I found out that she said something like “Why didn’t my baby survive and OP’s baby did… even though Op’s baby is a baby conceived in sin…”

This really bothered me. I can understand that this comes from a deep pain, but it feels disgusting to talk about a baby like that, and it feels like she’s practically wishing my baby would die or suggesting that if any baby had to die, it had to be mine. I just find it disgusting, and I confronted her. I told her that it was unacceptable to say something like that. I dealt with infertility for years in my first marriage and never spoke about someone else’s baby like that. And if she had any problems about how my child was conceived (I got pregnant shortly before I marry, which it could be a little of a problem in our culture and community), she could find another place to live, but I wasn’t going to allow her to talk about my child like that living under my roof. She denied having said any of this, and I had no proof other than the word of another family member. At that point, she tried to calm me down and tell me that everything was fine, that the pregnancy hormones might be making me uneasy, that I should rest, and that we would talk later.

Months later and my baby is born. He is the best thing that ever happened to me and everything seems fine, then Jack comes over to my house and asks if he can talk to us, basically he tells my husband that it’s really hard for Beth to see me holding a baby after what she’s going through because she’s still grieving, he asked if I could keep my son inside my house, basically no taking the baby out onto the porch, the backyard, the basement, my balcony, or any area of the property where she might see me with the baby… My first reaction was an incredulous laugh. I said, so you’re asking me to hide my own son in my own house? He seemed a little embarrassed at this point and said that he really wouldn’t ask that if he wasn’t watching his wife suffer, my husband said that was unacceptable and that he can’t ask me that, he also said that this is our son’s house too, he is a member of our family not something we have to hide. He said that was fine and left after that. A couple weeks after that I was in the garden with the baby and she came out of the apartment, came to the garden and said to me, “I thought my husband had spoken to you.” I said, “About what?” And she replied, “It’s not right for you to be here right now.” I replied, “How could it be that it’s not right for me to be sitting in the garden?” She said I knew the answer but that I was being petty. I told her I couldn’t think of anything more pitty than demanding a mother hide her baby in her own home, that besides being petty, she was very entitled. From there, things escalated. We argued, and I told her I wanted her to leave because it had become too displeasing and akward to live near her. I talked to my husband about it. He says I shouldn’t have kicked them out without first talking to him about how to handle it, but he understands where Im coming from and he also believes it’s time for them to find their own place. She’s been seeking support from some family members, saying that my baby is a constant reminder of the baby she lost and that I’m heartless for telling her to leave now because they’re going through pain. Family members have remained neutral, and my mother-in-law told her that she can’t expect me to stay out of the yard or porch when Im. with the baby, but they also think I shouldn’t have told her to leave. (Except for my mother in law who thinks that we alredy helped them a lot and now is time for them to look for their own place)
So Reddit, aita for kicking them out after she demanded I hide my baby?
The way that I see it is that their demands are totally out of place but maybe I shuld be more tolerant because the pain that they went through…

    This chick is disturbed when she sees the baby. All the more reason for her to GTFO. They should have left a long time ago. Husband had the chance to deal with this, as it is his side of the family. Finally op had to take long overdue action. No chance of op being an AH.

    Why you let them stay as long as you have is beyond me. The minute the husband came to you and asked that you keep your baby inside is the moment you should have told him to find another place to live. I’m curious as to what the husband told his wife that would make her think it was ok to confront you about being outside in your yard with your baby. I don’t care what anyone says, they would have to go. They are living rent free on someone else and have the nerve to try to totally take over. File for EVICTION now.

    NTA and your husband is a huge AH for letting his family mooch off of you, disrespect you, and make you feel uncomfortable in your own home. If he wants to be the big man who makes all the decisions then he needs to stop failing his family (you and son) and start protecting you. Starting with his cousin and wife getting the heck out.

    NTA and frankly the fact your husband didn’t Kick Them Out when they Asked this says he needs a Very Thorough understanding of “If you are to Be A Father, your JOB from this point forward is to Protect, Care for, and Love, your CHILD, if you can’t or Won’t do that because your blood relatives take priority say so NOW.”

    NTA.

    They were only supposed to be there for 2 months. They’ve been there 4x longer already with no plan/indication they would leave, ever.

    The loss of the baby is tragic, and the grief is understandable. You’ve given all the support and grace you could. What’s needed is professional help. Demanding you hide your son and make it seem like he doesn’t exist is unreasonable and was never an option no matter whose house it is. Being your home makes it worse.

    Them leaving is best for everyone.

    NTA Being told to hide you baby is insane. And the woman coming out telling you you can’t sit in your garden and ‘you know why’ is insane. Losing a child is devastating, l know from personal experience, but to dictate someone else to keep the baby hidden is not right. I had difficulties with being around babies and pregnant women for a while but l also had therapy. For her to say to OP why should OP’s baby live and hers died was not fair bc OP’s baby was born in sin is some religious bullshit.

    OP’s husband should have her back and tell HIS family to leave and to stop with the nasty talk. He tells nephew he has to move NOW. Change the locks on the apartment. Any other family complaining, tell them they are welcome to let nephew and his wife live with them. Husband will be glad to let nephew know where he can freeload next.

    NTA. I can’t imagine what she’s going through. That is, however, not your fault at all. It is your house and your child. You should be able to love and enjoy both. Is she in therapy? The AH in me wants to say if she has that much of a problem with seeing a child, she she be treated at an in-patient facility, but that is probably excessive and possibly dangerous/ not affordable. She really does need help, though. And that is her responsibility to seek out, not yours to provide.

    I think your tolerance level is maxed out. After months of getting free rent from you, basically taking money out of your pocket, these people think they have the right to continue asking for more?! We need a new word for entitlement to describe the audacity of this woman. She should be mortified to still be there after promising to only need two months. And yet they stayed months more without even apologizing? Without even an attempt to give you money? How shameful.

    Also your husband is wrong. There was no discussion needed about how to tell them to move. If they lack the basic humility and integrity to be grateful for this opportunity and to act accordingly, they’re lucky your response was as mild as it was. Send them a bill for the extra rent and kick them out. Surely after months of saving money that would normally have gone to pay rent, they must now have enough to get their own place. And then, you know what? Problem solved . Now she doesn’t have to see or your baby ever again.

    Your husband’s family is all kinds of fucked up. This is coming to you from somebody who had a stillborn child at six months pregnant. And my husband happened to be out of town. And he happened to be a firefighter for the city that we lived in. And the aid car that had to come and help me with this happened to be people I knew.

    Can you imagine? At the same time, one of the girls I worked with was also pregnant. She had also started having some problems. Her baby made it. Mine didn’t. You know what I never did. Asked her to hide a pregnancy. Asked her to hide her baby. Asked her to not talk about it. You know why?

    Because I’m not a shit person like your brother-in-law and sister-in-law. For the rest of that family.

    They are living rent free in your house for far longer than they were ever supposed to be there. They have disrupted your piece. They disrupted your entire pregnancy that you should’ve been able to share with your husband on your own.

    And now the fuck you wanna tell you what you can or kept doing your own house? And your husband… I’m gonna ream him a new one on this one because he should’ve done something about this long ago.

    Had two months, he should’ve been telling your BIL that he and his wife needed to move. They could move in with other relatives, but staying with you was no longer an option because you were expecting, and you didn’t need the added stress of more people in the house.

    At the very, very least, the minute your BIL asked if you could literally hide your baby, there should’ve been no discussion of how it’s the baby’s house, etc. It should’ve been…

    Your wife needs therapy. I’m sorry you lost the baby. It is incredibly heartbreaking and difficult. But she’s not dealing with this appropriately. Asking us to hide our own child and not enjoy our own home because she’s having difficulty dealing with. It is incredibly inappropriate.

    The appropriate response from you and the rest of the family should be to have you move in with somebody who does not have an infant in the hole. With that in mind, I’m giving you four weeks to find another family member or another place to live.

    As it is, you were only supposed to be with us for two months. You have now been here eight months. This is also not appropriate. Not to mention the fact that if you can’t afford your own home or to pay rent somewhere, you shouldn’t have been having a baby.

    Now all that may sound cold, but it’s incredibly true. This is your husband circus and his monkeys. He didn’t handle it. You did. So he can take his… You should’ve attacked me first nonsense and shove it up his ass.

    NTA honestly they are lucky you let them stay that long. Now to expect something so ridiculous. I would say “You know, I have thought about it and I realized you are right. Beth is suffering. I will not minimize my child for any reason. Even one such as grief. However, I do take this seriously. That being said, I think it would be best if you, Beth and Jack, moved out. Obviously my child is a source of pain for you. It’s unreasonable to ask me to hide my own child, in my own home. Plus, you guys have been living here for way longer than originally planned. You must have money saved after not having to pay rent that long. A new space could be a nice fresh start. That way Beth doesn’t have to see my child, or the place where she lost hers.”

    You should have kicked them out long ago, but you are NTA here at all.

WTAH?? Do not regret your actions for one second. It is best they are gone and I hope you learned to NOT allow family members to take advantage of you in future. No free rents, rides, or anything else.

    Stand by it. They’ve massively overstayed their welcome. It’s your house, not theirs. Give them a formal eviction notice and tell any other family who whines that they are welcome to take in the freeloaders who have tainted the first four months of your child’s life. Then, ignore them. And until they’re gone, make it clear that they aren’t welcome in your garden, or the main area of your home. Reclaim your peace. And tell your husband that he should be ashamed of himself for letting it get to this point in the first place.

    NTA. Send a text to the family: We agreed for nephew to live with us temporarily, for 2 months. It’s been 8 months of him living here for free, and he shows no signs of trying to move out. He’s had 8 months without rent to save his money. He and his wife have begun to harass me about my baby son, demanding I hide him, and never take him outside my home, not even in my own garden. I told the nephew to stop, but his wife has not and had an ugly argument with me about the existence of my child. I do not tolerate resentment of my child like this, especially not in my own home. Our family should love and welcome my son, not wish harm upon him. Family should defend your baby. The way to support this woman is to get her into counseling. You have begun to fear she means your baby harm, so she is no longer welcome in your home. The rest of the family can take them in if they still cannot, or will not, move into their own place.

    I’m beginning to wonder if the reason they lost their first apartment was self inflicted.

She’s also very selfish and honestly, really stupid. They should be grateful that you took them in and let them stay for so many months. Now it’s time for them to leave. Give them a date and time you want them out by and stick by it. If other family members have a problem with this, tell them they can open up their homes to them.

    While I get where your husband is coming from regarding telling them to move out, IMO, he has been an A-H for not pushing them out, especially after they had the nerve to expect you to hide your child. Them being told, not asked, to leave should have been the immediate response.

The reality is these things happen and they’re painful and they’re hard and I say that having been through it and not been through it with a 3 or 4-month pregnancy but having been through it with a 7-month pregnancy and again with a 6-month pregnancy babies that had they been delivered might well have survived and I say that having a daughter who is delivered 11 weeks premature and survived and is doing well. So I’ve been there and I’ve been there at the worst time to have it happen because at least early. Yeah you know you’re pregnant and maybe you felt a little movement but I was at a point of pregnancy where it was constant kicking active, literally within weeks of delivering a healthy child and then had it happened. I’ve been there never once wished it had been somebody else’s over mine. I would never wish that on anyone. I would never even say it and passing and to require someone who lived near me keep their baby hidden. No I stayed home. I suffered it took me years to even be able to talk about it but I never held it against anyone else who was able to finish and have that baby. It gave me hope that it could happen that there had to have been a good reason and I know in one case medically it was a blessing as hard as that is to say. But to be so entitled to think that because you had a miscarriage that you have the right to tell every other woman with a living breathing child that they can’t have it around you because they’re being mean to you. Okay, so let me get this right. You couldn’t have a baby so nobody else on the face of the Earth is allowed to have a living baby because it hurts you that someone else did it and you didn’t. Who gave you the right to think you have that authority? Every other human being on the face of the Earth should stop having babies until you have one because it hurts you to know that they can and you can’t seriously and then to top it off these people are living rent free. Meaning you’re literally supporting them because you still have to pay taxes and you still have to pay a water bill and God knows whether any of the furniture electricity he air conditioning is included in the rent because if there’s a mortgage payment you’re still paying it. They’re not paying a cent. I saw a figure of at least $2,000 and it’s been at least 8 months so they they are $16,000 indebted to you and are going to tell you how to live your life because nobody else on the face of the Earth is allowed to have a living baby until she can. Are you serious?.

    They need to be gone like yesterday. She should go move into a retirement home so nobody has a baby around her. I really don’t care where she goes. She needs to get out. She needs to get out now to walk into your backyard and tell you you’re not allowed to be there with your child because she doesn’t think anyone else is allowed to have a baby until she does get over herself

    I understand your husband wished it could have been handled in a nicer way but she sure as hell wasn’t taking you into consideration she was not giving you respect and you have every right to tell someone not respecting you to get there. Sorry ass out of your home. It is your house too and she is can either treat you with the respect you are due or she can get out

    I’m glad to know your mother-in-law agrees and I’m really sorry that that many people are pussyfooting around this woman and giving her the idea that she has a right to tell the entire world. They’re not allowed to have a baby until she has one because it hurts her feelings. I can’t wait. You know what? I have one wish for this woman

    I hope she has a baby and I hope when she is proudly holding that child somebody who just miscarried walks up to her and tells her that she shouldn’t be allowed to flaunt her happiness when other people are suffering because they had a miscarriage. I hope she has to hear that she should hide her baby and not be joyful because it’s not fair to somebody else. I can’t wait to see her reaction to that

    NTA You’ve been more than generous. Your SIL was acting like she is the homeowner and you are the guest. If they want to stay there need to be clear boundaries and expectations but honestly I’d just rent the until out. Everything relayed to having young children is expensive.

    I understand this is too painful for you to see me with my baby in my house. I’ll do my best to help and remove you from this situation. Here is your eviction notice. NTA

    NTA. Nephew taking advantage for so long makes them think OP and husband are pushovers – it’s also an excuse to not have to thank or be obliged for the extended rent-vacation they’ve enjoyed and exploited, because “OP has been so cruel and inconsiderate, why nephew and wife had to Suffer every Day they were there…”.

    Don’t let her near your baby alone. She would have been out the door so fast after that first “hide your baby” conversation, if it was my home.

    NTA before things escalate, they should move out. She might do something nasty. The entitlement with them is disturbing.

    NTA, they were only supposed to stay 2 months and haven’t paid any rent, Beth needs to wake up and realize this.
