As for my mom I explained her everything and after much crying from both parts, she apologized and hugged me because she didn't know. So I never told them about my daughter. He is the perfect son every parent would have wanted to have. So he moved with them and then I went from seeing him all the time to seeing him for a few weeks in the summer. When my wife was pregnant we decided that we didn't want any of my family in our daughter's life. My dad did asked about inviting her and I said no. Aita for not telling my dad about an award winning. They never bothered to get to know my wife either. If we went hiking or fishing, they had to come, if we went to the movies, had dinner outside or anything, they had to come. I was excited to spend the evening with him but he blew me of. We have a healthy bank account, we travel a lot and we're ready to buy a nice house but we're waiting for the housing market to cool down. They just won't believe that we're intelligent and perfectly capable people who have done well for ourselves all on our own. AITA for not telling my dad about an award I was getting in school?
He's a narcissist who has always treated me poorly and my family enables his bad behavior. I told him I didn't want his money and left. No one in my family keeps in touch with me anyway so I didn't see a reason to volunteer any information to them.
I remember I used to cry at night because I couldn't understand. ETA: As someone suggested I'm adding this, the trip with my dad and the spa getaway with my mom was because I got an early acceptance nor because I was graduating high school, that why Julia had no business being there. Aita for not telling my dad about an award 2021. He told me he had to be with his family and that them staying was not an option. My dad found out via Facebook about the award. My dad always liked my brother more. They think that we're both stupid and incapable of anything just because we can't hear.
I'm starting to wonder if my wife and I are selfish for keeping our daughter from a big family full of cousins her age because we have our own hang-ups about them. Despite all that, my family thinks that my wife's family takes care of us, i. e. help out financially, manage our finances and walk us through everyday tasks like buying groceries or paying bills. Judging you right now. I hope I've given enough context. I told him what was the point, that his choice was made 9 years ago that they were more important and my life didn't involve them anymore. We keep her off social media and I visited them only once since she was born, but she stayed home with my wife. Aita for not telling my dad about an award 2022. My dad sent a long text and told me that I would have gotten something better if I had studied harder. The whole family is very upset.
Saying I'd have "siblings" all the time and how great it was there and stuff. My brother somehow found out about my daughter's existence a few weeks ago. My older brother is not deaf and he's very close with my whole family. He doesn't have his life together. I could feel my eyes burning and I told him that this wasn't the deal, he tried to convince me but he ended up leaving with her. When dad told me I begged him to stay. We're in our 30s, and they still treat us like children.
I just feel like an ungrateful Asshole right now. He went on about him being my dad and deserving to know and how proud he was, etc, and why couldn't I see, why was I out to hurt him. I mean, I kinda get it. He probably spend more than 25, 000 dollars on his graduation. He could see that I was upset and asked me if it wasn't enough in an irritated tone. My mom and I will be having a getaway weekend to the spa and my dad said he would take me to the beach. He tries but his choice was made when he moved and my opinion on that is unchanging. My brother got a scholarship while I barely got into my college and he had to pay all the fees. They didn't even learn sign language for me. It wouldn't be healthy for her to be around people who constantly disrespect her parents. His wife called after and told me I should have told him. I was honestly really excited so I offered to pay for the hotel reservation because I wanted to feel mature (lo) my dad said no a bunch of times but I ended up convincing him. He told me he/they could have flown out to show support and it would have been a nice extra visit for us. And if she turned out deaf (she didn't), they wouldn't treat her with respect either.
I never forgave him for moving.
