The grandmother tried to persuade him to take his only daughter along, but he downright refused.
Recently, a distraught grandmother took to Reddit's AITA thread to share how she believes her son is being unreasonable. The woman gave birth to her son Julius when she was 18. Since then, she has "tried to do my best for him and he got into a good engineering school but at 19, he got his then-girlfriend Iza pregnant and they had Annabella together."
Ever since Annabella was born, the grandmother has been the one taking care of her. She shared that Iza got deported but she does meet her daughter in July every year and they also FaceTime every night.
However, her son "got married to his girlfriend Katja after graduation and they have two wonderful boys together." One would naturally imagine that Julius would have taken Annabella also to stay with him and Katja, right? But, no, while Julius was busy with his wife and boys, his daughter stayed with her grandmother.
"The thing is, Julius never spends any time with Annabella. He doesn't even call to say goodnight. But she loves him so much," shared the woman. He rarely visits and hardly spends any time with her, she added.
"It's like once a month, he'll show up with a box full of toys, spend a day with her and then go back to his family. It hurts her so much that he doesn't spend time with her because he's her hero. I'm just grandma."
Could it be that Julius's wife is not keen on having another woman's daughter under her room? Well, that's not the case, either, "And no, he doesn't act this way because of his wife. Katja would love to have Annabella move in with them, she once brought up the idea and she went on about all the things they could do together. She would love to be her stepmom, calls her princess, sweetie and so many nice nicknames. The only reason they haven't is because Julius has said she should stay with me."
To make matters worse, "A few days ago, Julius told me that he and Katja were planning a trip to Disneyland in August. I told him that Annabella would be so excited and he should tell her on her birthday and he just blankly told me she's not coming and the trip is for his boys."
The grandmother tried to persuade him to take his only daughter along, but he downright refused.
"I made it clear to him that he needed to bring her on the trip and he just called me an asshole - which he's never done before - for trying to control him. I admit that I was a bit controlling in my reaction but I don't think I went that far."
People soon pointed out that the man is not worthy of being called a father, and suggested that the woman cut him off from her life, too, and protect Annabella. Honestly, the little girl deserves all the love in the world and she has a grandmother who is willing to fight for her.
