We Just Can't Accept Her And The Baby

my brother in law took in this wretched dope fiend girl two years back and got her pregnant. she knew that getting pregnant would keep him forever, and force us to have to accept her into the family. recently, my brother in law tried to pull a fast one and bring her over to our house for the holidays. this was under the guise that he has no home and wants to spend time with both his kids (one of them being hers). of course, this would mean that she would be coming over with him and the kids. he did that knowing we don't like her. we don't want the baby over our house, because that would bring her over. we don't even believe the baby is his, because she was loose and on drugs. she also would do anything to keep him and make us like her. the baby looks NOTHING like him. we don't accept that fact that it is our nephew and she is not a part of our family or welcome in our house. she did alot of crazy, rude, horrible, skanky things from the time she first showed up drugged out and homeless on his doorstep. we will never accept her or her ugly little kid. neither of them are welcome at our house. i know this probably seems means because of the baby and all. but that was the tool, use to get us stuck with her in the first place. you can't separate the two.

I can't relate with you on this one at all, moon. Sorry, I'm a very family-oriented person and I love kids. I understand that he brought this woman into the family and no one likes her and from the sounds of it,you all have reason to dislike her. Do you like the brother in law? I'm not judging you but trying to understand you better so I have to ask you...just what exactly are they forcing upon you?? You stated that even if the DNA proved that this child was your familythat you would still hate it so I guess there is nothing much really to say. Considering how you feel then I would make both of them know just how strongly you feel and tell the brother in law and her that you don't want anything to do with them or the child and that they are not welcome at your home. They are a family, like it or not and it would be cruel to expect him to attend family things without her and the child. Truthfully, if you felt that way about me and my kids...I would not want my child anywhere near you anyway. If I was a man and that was my girlfriend and child...you would not have to worry about it as we would stay right away from all of you.

Ok this discussion really kind of bothered me and I'm not judging you. You are entitled to your feelings regardless of whether or not anyone agrees. I thought about it on my way to work last night. I actually was in a similar situation about 33 yrs ago. My brother was married to and had a child with a horrible woman. She cheated on him, tried to get with my husband and did get with my friends husband. There was much speculation as to whether my nephew was even my brother's child. He does not look at all like my brother. In fact, resembles her family and another guy who was around a lot at the time. She and my brother split up and we all opted to embrace this child and maybe offset the negative life his mom was bound to expose him too and she did. She was evil. Lord knows, the world does not need another dysfunctional human added to societies problems if we can possibly prevent it. \ Well this kid is now 33 and an amazing person!! He is kind and smart, responsible. He is married with 2 kids of his own and I love him so much. His kids are adorable and add so much to our live,

Your brother-in-law? (this mean... he is married to your sister right?). We'll if your sister and your brother-in-law are separated already or sort like it. I don't think you guys has the say... still of he wants to do with his life as long as he is not depending on you guys for whatever. You can give advice him not to take the girl and the baby as easy as that without further thinking, but whatever his decision is... his will still prevail. I do understand why you feel like that towards that girl. I would also feel the same if it happens to one my family, but still... all I can do is tell them about my thoughts and all things is still up to them. :(

exactly. he forgot all the messed up stuff she did when she first crawled out from under skid row. just cause she feels she is a mother now and everything, doesn't mean she can force us to erase all the deeep deeeep deeep messed up stuff she did. we don't want to forgive and forget. people says it's healing to you to do so, but only if it's hurting you for real. hating her doesn't feel bad. we are comfortable with it. lol. she is the one that isn't . nor is he. they both have to get over keep her away from us, child or not. we are not responsible for her child. we don't want to be forced into it.

Well, in that case that is all your brother-in-law fault. He can never forced you guys to accept it too.

Wow! When I read that I realized that I've had a similar experience with a family member and all that I could do was go with the 'open arms' and accept the person no matter what because it was the person that my family member was in love (or thought they were) in love with at the time. Sometimes I know it's hard to support someone that you really have no use for, but maybe for the brother in law you could make it work for the holidays? I would think as big a problem as this seems, this might cause the brother to drop from the face of the earth as far as family goes. I have bought the same amount of gifts for a relatives child that I didn't care for and just tried to like them for any reason I could find. Eventually the relative found out on they needed to move on from the relationship and there were no hostile feelings toward the family member. I just see it as...it is who my family member chose to love or be in a relationship with and all I can do is respect their decision at the time.

i have no problem with the fact he made his bed, he is the one that has to lie in it. as long as he is not trying to force her on us. we don't want to be bothered with her. being bothered with someone you don't like is very very very stressful. why should we bow down to that stress in our house?

I understand your stand and feeling. Yes, sometimes kids are used by people for different reasons. Like how the girl in your topic use the kids to get into your brother in-law's life. Hope someone to suggest for the DNA test to clarify everything and for the sake of the kids as well. Who knows the kids are really his...then this will change everyone's treatment towards the kids.

i don't think it would change the feeling we had for the kid. it was still a tool used to force and keep that girl in his and our lives, too. it's hard to separate the two. thanks for understanding. it's good that someone understands.

everyone says that it didn't ask to be put into this situation. yadee yadee yada. we know already. i respect your opinion, but we didn't ask to be put in this situation either...to deal with people we don't want to deal with. all this because she used her body to force and stick her way into people's lives that don't want her. why can't my brother in law just keep his wacky family situation to himself. why does he have to try to bring it and her to our house. my husband doesn't care about being around the baby. neither do i. it isn't ours. we have our own children. they have other nieces and nephews on both sides. none of them live around each other to make a difference anyway. if the kid (by 1% chance) turns out to be his, he won't grow up around us, and if he never sees us, it won't matter. his psychology and his self esteem is left up to his parents to build up, not ours. we have our own kids for that. they only way someone could break a child's spirit is to be around them. we wouldn't want to break a child's spirit in anyway, so we don't want to be around him. i don't think there is anything wrong with that. the best thing we could do for that kid is to stay out of our lives. advice to his mother......stay out of our face and stop trying to shove your kid in it all the time. we hate you. that's it.

thank you so much for understanding. everyone else says that we should just give in to what she wanted and love and embrace her and her dumb self. no! we don't want to. i'm glad you are not convincing us to. my dumb brother in law wouldn't get a test. he would be mad if someone even suggested it, like if to say she was just some saint. far from it.

There is such a thing as checking DNA to see if the baby is your ownkin, be it beautiful or not. A cousin of mine did that. His son had become involved with a junkie. A couple of years ago, she showed up with the idea that my cousin should take care of the two babies she had. It was proved that one of them, the oldest, was his son`s, so he asked for legal custody of the child. His mother can see him under supervision, but she doesn`t show up much as she knows there`s nothing for her.

Hi MoonGypsy ;) I know how you feel. Because my brother in law made the same with your brother in law, but in my case, my brother in law's wife took other people's baby to be them baby's before they have married. we are knew this is her plans to make keep him forever. But, does she love your brother in law after married? is she take care all his stuff from how his clothes, his meal, his health, their kids? If she do love them more she love her self, even she changes her attitudes, you must try to accept her and her baby. I know if someone has pregnant and has a kid, she will have a sense of being a mother. She will know the baby's feeling that her family's not accept them. The baby will growing up,and he/she will asking their parents why his/her family hate him/her. It will made some bad feeling too his/her. and this is not good for their psychological. For you know, this is not them fold that they must accept your treating them. If you hate the mother, just make them kids a good and the best kids. Even from treatment.

so, i guess that it. she got what she wanted, huh. we are stuck with her and that kid no matter how we feel about it. you don't understand how forced we feel. no one likes to be forced. no matter if it's a baby or not.

Well, you can find all kinds of people in this world. Some of them would do just anything in order to achieve what they wanted. I do agree with you that if getting pregnant in the first place is her strategy to get into your family and stay there, then you shouldn't have accepted her as this is a form of acceptance to this kind of act too. It is mean to the baby but still the biggest blame should be on her. I believe you would need to discuss this matter with other family members thoroughly to get the best action to it.

Oh, I feel for you. You should talk to yoiur b-i-l, or if not you, your partner should talk to the brother about this whole situation, that they would better move places... or maybe you could. I'm not sure about the whole structure of the family... like who owns the house etc... so...

i think you should first do a DNA test to really know if this baby belongs to your brother. if it is not his, then your brother should know. if it's his, its okay not to like the girl, just accept the baby. your brother doesn't have to marry her. but he has to make sure that the baby is well taken care of.

That's just sad. But if you have doubts that the kid was his, you can have him go through DNA. If they wont match, then his clearly not his kid! But if they do match, well, you've got no choice but to live with fact that you'll be seeing that kid and the mother from time to time.

In my own opinion, it is not good to pushed away the kid nor have any discrimination against the child. I am not into discrimination, but I am with the fact of having children's rights. Besides, it is not heir fault to be in such situation. We need to be humane in what we do. Good day!

I understand you I don't like the situation either. Hope he finds a house of his own so you won't have to deal with them everyday. If he really wants to stand up for the girl then he should go and live separately.
