A teenager who is still dealing with the shock of her dad’s infidelity says she’s being labelled ‘immature’ for not wanting to accept his ‘affair baby’ as a sibling.

The 16-year-old girl says she’s always had a close relationship with her mum, who is 40, calling her a ‘truly amazing woman’. The teen said a year ago she found out her 42-year-old father was having an affair with a 26-year-old.

“She is only 10 years older than me. Her and I have less of an age gap than my dad and her have,” she explained on reddit.

“My mum, even though she was upset, she has never trash talked my dad. I am so upset though it would have been one thing for him to ask for a divorce instead he cheated with someone much younger than him.”

She explained that her dad and his new partner moved two hours away, and in the year that’s passed, she only seem him a handful of times.

“I act pleasant when I see them, but things are awkward and my dad and I’s relationship is clearly strained.

“So my dad’s affair is pregnant. He called me yesterday and asking if I wanted to go to the gender reveal party next weekend.”

“I told him no. He asked why I said I didn’t want to talk about it. He kept pushing me going saying how the baby will be my little sibling.

“I got annoyed and went off. I told him how it would have been one thing for him to get a divorce from mum but you didn’t have the guts for that so instead you have an affair. So no I’m not going to accept your little affair baby as a sibling. He called me an immature brat. He later texted my mum complaining about how immature I am and how I need to grow up and accept that (his mistress name) and the baby is going to be part of my family. Am I the a**hole?”

  • I think he needs to step back and take it slower. She is still a child and this has all happened way too fast and injured the family in the process. He needs to show a little consideration and understanding and make an effort to see his daughter.


    • Exactly, she’s still a child – a teenager, he treats her as an adults and disregards the fact he as a parent broke her trust

  • Definitely No! I wouldn’t be going If it was me. That’s really disgusting from the father absolutely heartless.

  • Of course you’re not an a**hole ! your feelings are understandable. Your dad cheated on your mum and I can imagine you feel kind of betrayed he did this to your mum and you see your trust crumbling. These type of things take time and when your dad calls you immature and expects you to just accept what happens he totally disregards your feelings and the time you need to process and come to terms with this.

  • Your dad was immature for having the affair. Your feelings are completely normal. I’d be furious if I was in your situation and wouldn’t be attending the gender reveal either. In regards to the new baby however, just remember that he/she is innocent in this and it might be nice to have a relationship with them as they grow.

  • You are 16. I don’t know if you are immature or a 16 year old.

    What I do know is this is not the place for you to get advice.

    Talk to your parents or aunts and uncles.

    The people in forums don’t know you.

  • It’s ok to feel the way you feel. If you’re not up for it, then so be it!

  • Not the A hole! He cheated, got another woman pregnant and then moved two hours away with her, when he could have done the right thing and admitted his feelings and left in the right way. Teenagers have enough to deal, and this is major. It takes time to heal, forgive and move forward. Pushing is so wrong

  • Yeah wow a gender reveal yikes

  • She is being a tiny bit immature, but entirely understandably. While she may eventually have to accept this child as a sibling, her current feelings are entirely fair and her dad should back off.

  • I’d be the same, you’re feelings are valid

  • I think I would have reacted in the same way as she did tbh!
    I wouldn’t want my mum to be cheated on, her mum is such a champ for taking it much better but I would be so angry, it would take me a long time to adjust to it all.
