Rich Woman Stops Sending Child Support To Her First Child, Which She Didn’t Want, Because She's Expecting Another Child
First child doesn't count. Does it?
One woman thought she had already made her choice about motherhood, money, and responsibility, but a second pregnancy brought the first child back into the picture.
She is wealthy, engaged, and expecting another baby, yet she also has a child from a previous relationship who lives with his father. Now she wants to stop sending child support for that older child so she can save for a wedding and the new baby, and the people around her are not exactly on the same page.
The situation gets messier once family members and Reddit weigh in, because this is not just about money, it is about the child she left behind. Read on.
OP shared her story. She is rich, pregnant, and soon to be married. She also has one child who lives with his dad.
RedditShe sent money but didn't want to have anything to do with the child.
RedditThis time she is ready for a child. But because she needs to save money for the wedding and the new child, she wants to cut off support for the older child.
Reddit
Her new boyfriend said it is her money, but she has plenty of it.
Reddit
However, her boyfriend's sister had a much stronger opinion on this matter, which led to an argument.
Reddit
OP was contacted by a man living with her ex-boyfriend. He is also raising her daughter.
Reddit
OP now asks if she is the AH in this story.
Reddit
That question did not sit well with Reddit.
As you might've expected, Redditors didn't go easy on OP.
Reddit
People are supposed to take care of their kids.
Reddit
They could sue her for child support.
Reddit
The first child doesn't get anything, while the second child gets everything. That's awful.
Reddit
One commenter kept it blunt.
It echoes the sister feud where one woman refused to chip in for baby expenses.
The new boyfriend is there only to nod his head.
Reddit
Sure, Jan.
Reddit
The boyfriend is not supposed to have an opinion.
Reddit
Another reply pushed back on that logic.
People who are raising the baby are the parents...
Reddit
The first child is not worthy...
Reddit
even though she was old enough to understand the consequences...
Reddit
All gay people know each other...
Reddit
They should do that...
Reddit
She is not consistent...
Reddit
It is as if the first child isn't hers at all...
Reddit
The bottom line is:
Reddit
It is incredible to see how a person can totally forget about her own child. She has a new life now, a new husband, and a new child.
And she is prepared to give everything to her newborn baby and take everything from the older child. How can she even consider it?
That is a hard line to defend.
For another sharp family blowup, see whether saving for a baby beats helping a sister pay bills.
