Some couples dream of having children, while others prefer not to. It’s a big decision because raising kids is a huge responsibility that lasts a lifetime. Talking about having kids with family can be uncomfortable. If relatives pressure you to have children, it can be tough. But remember, not everyone faces the same situation.
Redditor user doesnotcontributes faced a major argument with her family because she chose not to have kids. They believed she wasn’t contributing to the family legacy. As a result, her parents excluded her from their will, favoring her siblings who wanted children.
1. I have so many questions in my mind, and I am sure you guys too. Let’s find out!
2. OP is the only sibling out of the 4 who has chosen not to have kids. The decision has mutually been taken with her husband.
3. OP lives in a big house and it is always she and her husband who host major family events like Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, etc.
4. They are happy to have guests stay over and do most of the cooking for them as well.
Wow! OP and her husband are great hosts!
5. One time after Thanksgiving dinner, while the whole family was sitting together, OP’s father asked her when she would have kids.
6. After receiving an answer he didn’t want to hear, he told OP he would remove her from the family will because she was not contributing to the family.
7. OP was never after the will anyway but the comment really hurt her. Even more, after her siblings supported their dad’s decision.
8. OP’s got really angry when OP told her to deal with her decision.
9. For clarity, OP asked all her family members if they didn’t want her part of the will and they all nodded yes.
10. As soon as OP received the confirmation, she got up and started collecting all her parents’ and siblings’ stuff, with the assistance of her husband.
11. OP and her husband put all their stuff in a pile and asked them all to leave.
So let me get this straight. OP’s dad thinks the only way you contribute to your family is by having children. So, if I am making 2 million dollars a year, taking care of their expenses, I am still not contributing to the family because I am not having kids? This is absurd!
The way OP responded to this situation was great and I am so glad her husband showed full support. Let’s see how the family react to this. Scroll down below to continue reading!
