Kids, AITA and Grandparents: Entitled much?

Entitled much?

By grandpa - 27/11/2023 05:00

Today, despite being the first to hold all my other grandchildren, despite my son and bitch of a daughter-in-law agreeing I would be the first, I showed up at the hospital to see my daughter-in-law's father holding my grandchild before me. FML

Same thing different taste

Get out

Today, I gave birth to my firstborn child. Somehow, my mom and mother-in-law made their way to the delivery room, and walked in mid-push. While they were escorted out, I overheard my mother-in-law asking the nurse how her son, my husband, was holding up. FML

You're so vain, you probably think this FML is about you

Today, my daughter is so selfish, she did her makeup in her hospital room so she could take a selfie with her newborn son in the background BEFORE she had even held him for the first time. Yes, BEFORE. My grandson spent his first hour of life waiting for his mom to be ready for a photo op. FML

Kinda cruel, son

Today, my son had a child to spite his ex and ex-stepson. He was holding his daughter in his arms in the delivery room when he told me that now I can stop visiting his ex-stepson and pretending he’s my real grandchild, because now I have a real granddaughter. I’m speechless. FML

Today, I overheard my mother-in-law say to her daughter "I can't wait for you to make me a real grandma." I'm pregnant with their first grandchild. FML

Today, my mother-in-law was so rabid to meet her first grandson, she didn’t just nudge me aside to get to the delivery room, she two-hand shoved me in the chest so I flew backwards and down a flight of stairs. I’m now in a neck brace for a hairline crack to my vertebrae and can’t pick up my own son. FML

Succession

Today, my only child introduced his new girlfriend to me. He is 36 and has no children. She is 46 and has a pregnant daughter who she is very close with. I don't know if I'll ever be a grandfather, but in any case, my son is going to be one before me. FML

My turn

Today, my wife and I both got released from the hospital. She was admitted for the birth of our daughter. I was admitted with a broken arm from when my mother-in-law shoved me out of the way because she wanted to be the first one to hold the baby after my wife. FML

Today, my mother-in-law told me to "just wait" until she gets home from her trip, because apparently, taking a vacation with her partner is more important than the birth of her first grandchild. Contractions started a few hours ago. Part of me hopes she misses it. FML

Today, I gave birth to a baby girl. Where was my husband after the agony finally ended? Standing just outside the room, flirting with a nurse. FML

Today, I went to the hospital to visit my aunt and her newborn baby. The receptionist gave me the room number, and I went and my aunt was in the bathroom so I cuddle the baby, only to find that the woman who came out of the bathroom was a complete stranger. I was holding her baby. FML

Why are you the first to hold the grandchild? The first should be the father, not the grandparent

it matters why? why should you get priority over another grandparent who has the same rank as you? also, you’re a grandparent, aren’t you little old to be on fml?

Kind of an ageist comment. I'm old enough to be a grandfather and I'm on here daily

Down vote for being such a huge d****e bag. OP probably has way better social skills than you will ever accomplish, besides that, I will say that OP needs to chill about being the first for every grand child.

Are you going to love this grandchild less because you weren't the first to hold them? Honestly, the important part is that you are there and they're allowing you to be a part of a personal event that's happening to them.

Oh, take off, nobody cares. You sound absolutely ghastly. I hope your son cuts you off from his family.

I second this. How awful to have a parent, who is now a grandparent, be so utterly petty and calls your spouse a bitch for such a meaningless slight.

The way you speak about your daughter in-law is disgusting, and you should be ashamed of yourself. It doesn't matter how you feel about her, she is the mother of your grandchild so grow up and have some damn respect. I'm very surprised they let you near them at all.

I witnessed the birth of my first two grandchildren but, because of unfortunate timing, I missed the birth of the third. Want to know what difference it made? None. I love him just like his older siblings. The only reason you’re upset is because you’re selfish. Do better.

you sound very very entitled, it's not becoming of you at all. they probably said you could just to shut you up. they are the parents not you. you don't get to dictate the situation. get off your high horse and just be happy for them and the new bundle of joy.
