Woman Cheats On Husband And Has A Baby With Her Affair Partner, Receives Karmic Justice Instead Of Help
Being cheated on his tough enough. Having your wife marry her affair partner and start a new family with them can add an extra sting.
It’s exactly what happened to one man who says he has “no respect for either of them.” Imagine his surprise when his philandering ex-wife (whom he no longer speaks to) approached him to look after the child she has with her new husband.
Despite him refusing, she asked again and again. Her current husband has cancer and she firmly believes her ex should step in to babysit in the event of an emergency.

Not his kid, not his problem. And his own child isn't even close to the half sibling - nor does he get along with his stepfather. All the people saying YTA are delusional. I bet nearly all of them would be voting otherwise if they had a partner who cheated on them. 🙄

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I believe many, and maybe all, of the replies saying YTA were made before OP said that his son is not close to the step-sibling or step-father.

The YTA people are, as usual, fruitcakes. If the OP were to acquiesce and while caring for the extra kid they got injured, say fell down the stairs. What is the protocol to be? It's foolish to even put that out there for the guy.

I’m trying to understand. Do people who worry about liability never invite their kids’ friends over? Or cousins? I don’t remember my folks worrying about liability, and we lived in a farm, which is essentially a giant collection of liabilities. Do kids not have visitors anymore? I know they don’t *need* ‘em because they have phones, but do they really not interact with others nowadays?

I imagine that there will be very many sudden emergencies if he agrees to this. It's a minefield though.

Someone made an excellent point that calling OP when the ambulance is on its way is calling on him in an emergency. Asking him now if he will be available is not. This is not an emergency. This is ex and husband putting OP on the childcare roster.

Take your child full time - for the child's benefit. That also relieves some of the ex's financial pressure while leaving her in the mess she made.

Them YTA fuggnutts should be made to babysit the child instead or at least be forced to babysit a child born out of their own home adultery and see if they change their tune fast enough!!! OP has no relationship with the kid and was in fact hurt by his two-timing s*c*u*m*bucket excuse of an ex-wife so out of what twisted logic should he be responsible for the young one. I get that the child is innocent but the circumstances surrounding him/her are not. I hope OP stands absolutely firm and gives the ex a nice Dean Ambrose-NOPE the next time she asks again!!! SMH!!!

These are the same loons who read a story, "my husband of 15 years said he was going out of town for business. He came back a week later with a 9 year old kid. Kid's mom died and now he wants us to raise his affair child. All the YTA people writing, "it's not the child's fault! How can you abandon a child? What kind of mother are you?" Yeah, kick rocks. She's been unknowingly supporting another family and she's the bad guy. Who are these people telling OP, "your son will hate you for abandoning his sibling." Really? His mother broke up the entire family and she's getting a pass.

Yes, it's a *child*, but it's not OP's child. Not OP's problem that ex-wife + her hubs have *no* friends or family to help them. *If* OP's child + the other kid were close and the other kid knew OP + was comfortable being with him, that's different. Doesn't sound like that's the case. This is another "Sounds like a *you* problem" scenario.

OP should have Child Protective Service's number readily available for when his ex dumps her kid on his doorstep in an "emergency".

Here's the thing: It's not an emergency now. Right now, it's a foreseeable situation, that she's making arrangements for inadvance. Your saying no is inconvenient, but that doesn't make it an emergency, it just means she has to take her child to the hospital with her until she can arrange a sitter.
