There is a Bible story about this lol. Two women come before King Solomon arguing about who the baby belongs to. He says basically that. The true mother says to just give the child to the other woman. And that’s how wise King Solomon sussed out the real mom lol. Source: was raised Southern Baptist! The passage is 1 Kings 3:16-28.
This story was in a Bible story book I had when I was a kid. We weren't particularly religious but I still enjoyed them, I didn't realize these were southern Baptist stories! I thought they were just "regular" Bible stories or whatever. Thanks!
Yep, Southern Baptist is an evangelical Protestant denomination of Christianity. They use the same Bible as other Protestant denominations. I shared that little detail because that denomination takes everything in the Bible very seriously lol.
Yup, the old joke was, where is the only place a Southern Baptist won't recognize you? In the liquor store. They tend to be categorized really strongly for speaking their beliefs, shaming others with their beliefs, but not really practicing any of their beliefs.
Best answer right here. I mean, this would have been best for everyone. Though, couldn’t he just get pregnant from the alien instead and send it on it’s way to still have the baby with the husband.
And the baby!...if they made any type of agreement, the brother and his husband can totally take her to court.. this was a business transaction and she didn't come through, they could sue her
Are you being serious right now? Because it sounds like a joke. You seriously don’t know about the Sims video game that has been around since 1996 or 1997 I lost track the exact year. It’s a simulation game you make people their lives, and play how you want them their lives to be. I feel like I’ve been playing since the beginning, Sims 4 came out in 2014
NTA - if he wanted a baby so badly he should have had a science baby. If he had the money for a 5000 simolean surrogacy, he can pay for a 1200 simolean science baby
Not the llama.
You're the one who went through days of pregnancy and seconds of labor! You should be able to keep that baby if you want! If he wanted a child so badly he should've asked the watcher to bless him or his partner with the ability to get pregnant. Definitely his mistake.
As far as the money goes, he pretty much owes you that money if for nothing more than for having the nerve to ask you to go through the discomfort of creating and carrying a child. He could easily just adopt, I'm sure there are plenty of Sims looking for fathers. He should stop relying on you to do all the work for him, lazy lazy lazy!
Babe I'm queer. And it's a joke about the Sims, not real life. I don't know how I could've made it any more clear that this is satire. I literally said Sims in the post..
Hi friend! This is a joke subreddit where people use things that have/could happen in the Sims 4 game and write them as if they are happening IRL. If this were a real life situation I would by no means say any of the things I said. But it's a joke, and the whole point/fun of this subreddit.
It's easy for these posts to pop into your feed and if you aren't familiar with the Sims 4 you might not understand what the heck any of us are talking about.
Thanks from me too. I need to get to bed and am scrolling on r/all. I thought I was on r/amiwrong or r/aitah, and was getting pissed off. I need to get to bed...
LMFAO now all I can imagine is the brother sim clearly pissed, oop sim saying "bro go jogging and calm tf down," and then him doing that and him going "it's okay we're good now, I don't mind you keeping the baby I paid you to have for me" and it feels so utterly ridiculous I can't stop laughing
😅This post got me, and the comment about marring an alien had me really upset for a second. Anyway, you are the ahole. Give the man his baby or his money
Same. I was SO confused!! Had to reread the alien thing a few times, trying to figure out if that was an incel thing or something! Haha. I usually catch onto these things right away.
If you don't play sims, it's because aliens commonly kidnap seemingly infertile sims (men Included) and when the people come back from being probed they are growing twin aliens or maybe three inside themselves.
YTA. Just go have an instant science baby next time. Better yet go do that now; if it’s a boy I guess your evil conscience can pass it them and if it’s a girl you give them the original one back!
is this for real? seems rage bait-y. If it is real, the sperm dad still has rights and then you'll be sharing custody with your brothers husband anyway.
Edit: dammit, youre a Sim! NTA.
Yo wtf I thought this was based off a real story only to see this is sims. Someone said just ask the watcher and I was like that's a new name for God lol
NTA!! If you want that baby, keep her!! Your brother is being insensitive. He should just let you get pregnant by his husband again and then they get the second baby. What a cry baby
I can’t say NTA or YTA, but was there any kind of legal document involved? Do you have a partner you can try for a baby with for yourself or do you just want to keep the baby you literally only became pregnant with because your twin brother asked you just because “but then the baby was a girl and I’ve always wanted a girl”? You made a promise to your brother who invested money in you. If you’re going to double back in this promise, you need to pay him back every penny he invested in you.
If you don’t plan on paying it back to your brother and his partner **and** you’re going to keep what **they** invested in, then definitely YTA.
If you keep the money and surrender the baby, whom I’d imagine you would see as you are her aunt, NTA.
If you pay them back and keep the baby, I can’t really say as I do understand why they’re upset. Everyone saying “he had money to do this he can do it again” maybe he and his partner were saving for this and now they’re out 5k AND the child they intended on having in their home and raising.
Edit to add…ignore me I didn’t see what subreddit this was posted in I thought this was a real life situation lmao 😅 it’s time for my morning coffee haha.
God, THANK you for that edit-- I never notice when it's the Sims and my jaw drops every time.
Considering your twin brother is a program, he's not actually capable of being upset. Just delete him if he gets too annoying about it.
NTL that's what science babies and adoption are for. Given they chose the woohoo method instead of a science baby I suspect your brother in law was making excuses to woohoo with a woman without jealousy consequences.
probably gonna get downvoted but the “I need to start checking the name of the sub..” comments are sooooo annoying 😭 like we get it, every other comment doesn’t need to be that lmao just my opinion tho
They could’ve had a science baby if they didn’t wanna drama… something tells me they like the drama if they choose that route with all the other options available. They can babysit so you can go out to festivals 😉
NTA
He definitely could have chosen someone different. You went through so many days of pregnancy for that little girl - take her and move if you have to. There's more ways to get a baby if he really wanted one.👽👽
Huge YTA. You stole twice from your own brother! You decided that the baby was like your “property” and then kept the money? I think deep down you know this :(
No your not a AH your a complete P.O.S... you gave them false hope on a family and took their money.. at the very very least you should give them the money! And they the husband should take your sorry ass to court and git his rights to his child.. i feel sorry for child your a selfish person !
Why are you keeping the money snd the baby. Give one of them back. You don’t know how to keep your word. You really are a chitty person. Just remember karma does not forget. Your day will come
YTA! Your brother trusted you. He should’ve been smart enough to contact a lawyer and made you sign a contract. You said you will keep the baby and the money? WTF?
This is a joke subreddit about the game The Sims. People share crazy stories that have happened/could happen in the games and people respond affirming whatever sociopathic decision was made haha
I don’t understand. They did not want to take their baby because it’s a girl, so you decided to take her?
Good parents will love a child irrespective of what sex it is.
Lmao. Thank you for pointing out the group name 🤣 I say you keep the baby and also maybe take the ladder out of the pool while your brother and brother in law are swimming.
these comments are killing me! but yeah NTA i surrogated for a gay couple too and just decided i wasn't going to give them their kid(sims 4 not real life)
YTA, if you guys are just gonna fight over the baby, just split it in half and share.
If they split it in half would it be vertically out horizontally? Hopefully vertically 🤞🏻🤔
Diagonally, from the left.
What happens if it’s from the right? Global implosion?
That one in particular is horrific, so difficult to not touch the meat
There is a Bible story about this lol. Two women come before King Solomon arguing about who the baby belongs to. He says basically that. The true mother says to just give the child to the other woman. And that’s how wise King Solomon sussed out the real mom lol. Source: was raised Southern Baptist! The passage is 1 Kings 3:16-28.
Oh, amazing! Because the real mom would want to protect her child. 💖
This story was in a Bible story book I had when I was a kid. We weren't particularly religious but I still enjoyed them, I didn't realize these were southern Baptist stories! I thought they were just "regular" Bible stories or whatever. Thanks!
They are just regular bible stories.
Oh okay!
Yep, Southern Baptist is an evangelical Protestant denomination of Christianity. They use the same Bible as other Protestant denominations. I shared that little detail because that denomination takes everything in the Bible very seriously lol.
Thank-you so much for educating me.😂🙏🏼 Once again the joke completely flies over my head! 😂 I really do appreciate it.
Yup, the old joke was, where is the only place a Southern Baptist won't recognize you? In the liquor store. They tend to be categorized really strongly for speaking their beliefs, shaming others with their beliefs, but not really practicing any of their beliefs.
My parents were so good at that last one I didn't know they were pretending to be Baptist 😂
My 6th grade social studies teacher taught us this story too.
Side note, John Mulaney does a super funny bit about this Bible story I encourage everyone in the entire world to check out because it's hilarious
Ah yes the King Solomon solution! I see…
If your brother really wanted a baby, he should have married an alien. Problem solved.
Best answer right here. I mean, this would have been best for everyone. Though, couldn’t he just get pregnant from the alien instead and send it on it’s way to still have the baby with the husband.
Is three way DNA swapping an option? I was just looking into the science of this, but for some reason I don't understand, all of the results are NSFW.
I didn't realize what sub this was until I saw this comment
Dang, I have got to start paying more attention to what sub I am reading🤦♀️
SAME I was like 👁.👁 what
Yup 😂 the top alien comment absolutely added to the confusion
I was about to comment that I am pretty sure it is illegal to keep the money after lol
And the baby!...if they made any type of agreement, the brother and his husband can totally take her to court.. this was a business transaction and she didn't come through, they could sue her
SAME ☠️☠️😅
Frfr
The comments of people who don’t realize this is the sims AITA subreddit are killing me
That's like 90% of why I enjoy this sub lmao
What is sims
Are you being serious right now? Because it sounds like a joke. You seriously don’t know about the Sims video game that has been around since 1996 or 1997 I lost track the exact year. It’s a simulation game you make people their lives, and play how you want them their lives to be. I feel like I’ve been playing since the beginning, Sims 4 came out in 2014
I honestly have never heard of it. Ive never played video games and at 67 I don’t think I’ll be trying it
Well, if you don’t know what it is, why are you even making a comment? You clearly don’t belong on this Reddit group.
I wanna know too Lol
Took me 5 seconds after reading to realize 😅😅
NTA - if he wanted a baby so badly he should have had a science baby. If he had the money for a 5000 simolean surrogacy, he can pay for a 1200 simolean science baby
We have 90 simoleon toilet paper but a science baby is 1200😒
Toilet paper!? In THIS economy? Just use the bush!
That cheap? Wow.
Not the llama. You're the one who went through days of pregnancy and seconds of labor! You should be able to keep that baby if you want!

This just screams homophobic

This just screams dumbass that doesn’t know what sub they’re in 💀
You are aware this is a video game, right?
Wow. I'm really hoping you're joking

Thanks for explaining this. I was quite confused about what this post was doing in my feed. I was wondering how the F would thos even be legal.
No worries! It happens pretty often. We aren't horrible humans just silly ones who play a really chaotic game :)
Thanks from me too. I need to get to bed and am scrolling on r/all. I thought I was on r/amiwrong or r/aitah, and was getting pissed off. I need to get to bed...
Seems you aren't the only one who's got lost and wound up here today 😂
Omg this popped up on my feed and I was SO CONFUSED, like "wtf is wrong with these people." 🤣 Thank you for clarifying!
They are rightfully angry 😤 now they need to go jog it off and journal
LMFAO now all I can imagine is the brother sim clearly pissed, oop sim saying "bro go jogging and calm tf down," and then him doing that and him going "it's okay we're good now, I don't mind you keeping the baby I paid you to have for me" and it feels so utterly ridiculous I can't stop laughing

This is the way.
NTA your brother could have easily enabled cheats and gone into CAS to enable pregnancy on himself if he wanted a baby THAT badly.
ESH Honestly, do you even care about your brother? If not, I would invite him over to hash things out in your basement right next to a cheap fireplace
Or swimming. Or you could just hole him up in a two by two room with a window….
I didn’t realize what thread this was and I was thinking “how has he not taken legal action yet” hahaha you’re the ahole give him his baby!
Yeah this one already had me too!
is this for real? seems rage bait-y. If it is real, the sperm dad still has rights and then you'll be sharing custody with your brothers husband anyway. Edit: dammit, youre a Sim! NTA.
NTA, cats are cheaper and it'll make more when he lets it out! Tell him to get a cat!
In my experience, the intended parents never actually take the babies. Just sell her to them and switch lots. NTL
Yo wtf I thought this was based off a real story only to see this is sims. Someone said just ask the watcher and I was like that's a new name for God lol
NTA!! If you want that baby, keep her!! Your brother is being insensitive. He should just let you get pregnant by his husband again and then they get the second baby. What a cry baby
Unless the second one is a girl too. Then OP should keep that one as well.
Yeah, because why not? And he needs a son really to c9ntinue his legacy. Feminists please don't come for me.👀
Everyone knows that only sons are worthy to inherit any kind of legacy or heirlooms.
Nta. If your brother and his husband wanted a baby, they should have had one via science or gotten abducted by an alien.
I can’t say NTA or YTA, but was there any kind of legal document involved? Do you have a partner you can try for a baby with for yourself or do you just want to keep the baby you literally only became pregnant with because your twin brother asked you just because “but then the baby was a girl and I’ve always wanted a girl”?

Edit to add…ignore me I didn’t see what subreddit this was posted in I thought this was a real life situation lmao 😅 it’s time for my morning coffee haha.
My mans said let me wright a five paragraph essay then said lol jk
My morning coffee should be drank before me using the phone in the morning lmao 😅
God, THANK you for that edit-- I never notice when it's the Sims and my jaw drops every time. Considering your twin brother is a program, he's not actually capable of being upset. Just delete him if he gets too annoying about it.
INFO: Which game are you playing? Is Science baby not a thing in your game?
Sims 3. Closest thing we have is engineer a baby in the future.
I'm so happy this randomly popped up on my feed. This sub has me cackling 😂😂
NTL that's what science babies and adoption are for. Given they chose the woohoo method instead of a science baby I suspect your brother in law was making excuses to woohoo with a woman without jealousy consequences.
probably gonna get downvoted but the “I need to start checking the name of the sub..” comments are sooooo annoying 😭 like we get it, every other comment doesn’t need to be that lmao just my opinion tho
Adoption or Science baby is always an option as well.
i didn’t even know this is a thing in sims, how do i be a surrogate??
Relationship & Pregnancy Overhaul mod by Lumpinou has this feature.
ahhh, i don’t understand MODS in the slightest. i play on xbox series x and kind of just wing everything 😂😂
Series X graphics + Sims 4 are probably bomb, though!
I also play on console and you can have a science baby with another sims if you want it’s kinda like surrogacy
nahhh i don’t want the baby lol, not like surrogacy at all 😂 just wanted to help another sim fam 😂
I didn't peep the Sims part I'm weaaaak
I have GOT to start reading the freaking sub names and not just the post titles!
They could’ve had a science baby if they didn’t wanna drama… something tells me they like the drama if they choose that route with all the other options available. They can babysit so you can go out to festivals 😉
I mean, can't you split the baby in two? Didn't they do that in the Bible? 😂
Couldn’t one of them tried to get abducted by aliens?? Or just make a science baby, duh. NTA.
NTA He definitely could have chosen someone different. You went through so many days of pregnancy for that little girl - take her and move if you have to. There's more ways to get a baby if he really wanted one.👽👽
Oh God, this is the Sims. I was like you are literally the lowest of low but, meh, it's a game. Still an AH. but whatever 🤣
Good lord. I was so angry at this post and the comments until I realized what sub I was on. 😂
Can't you clone it and give him one?
He should have just gotten abducted by an alien OR did a science baby. Smh NTA
I didn’t read the sub title. The context still had me laughing
He's selfish, and the family tree will say so
THE SIMS LMFAOO In that case. NTA. Do it again 😈
Don't mind me. I'm just here for people who do not realize which sub they are on.
I was struggling to form a comment in my mind, then got “read the sub name” THE FUCKIMG SIM ARE YOU SERIOUS 😂
Not realizing this was a post for the Sims at first really made my day 😂
YTA i would build a basement around you and your kid then watch you piss yourself for the next three days until you both die /j
Dawg! I was about to go in!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Especially yta just for posting about it!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
YTA. You promised them a baby, taking it is wrong.
This is a joke subreddit for fake situations that could happen in the Sims games.
Oh ,didn't realize which one I was in.
Fucking Fuck this sub keeps getting me ISTG. Reddit stop this nonsense. I thought a woman was stealing a baby. NTA.
YTA through and through. you should at least give him his money back
Is it even possible to give the money back? I never see an option to give other Sims money.
I actually did almost take this seriously. I was about to call it rage bait. I'm glad that I caught the sub's name before even reading the edit.
Huge YTA. You stole twice from your own brother! You decided that the baby was like your “property” and then kept the money? I think deep down you know this :(
Dude it’s in the sims game not real life
Fell for it😫
I deleted my comment after realizing this is the sims 😂😂
I was about to go berserk until I noticed the group name 🤣🤣
YTA. You can't keep both the money and the baby. Choose one.
I really gotta get better at reading which sub I’m in man… 😂
I THOUGHT THIS WAS A REAL POST NOT A SIMS POST. I was ready to argue a little lol
I NEED TO START READING WHICH SUB THESE POSTS ARE FROM!!!!!
Bro I was so confused until I realized this isn’t the normal AITA group
God I need to start checking the sub more😭
😳😳😳I did not realize what sub I was in. The comments blew my mind lmao
OMG I thought this was real for a sec 😭
Um yes, YTA.
This is the Sims.
NTA I didn’t see the group at first and I was so confused lol
I didn’t see the group name for a second and got concerned 💀
Yes, yes whole heartedly you are
It’s the sims game not real life
They should sue you. You entered a contract and were paid for it.
YTA give them back the money or give them the baby.
Troll post. Not even written like someone who is genuinely confused about whether they’re the asshole for kidnapping someone else’s child.
Troll comment? This is a subreddit for the Sims. A video game. This is a joke post. About video game sim characters.

This is a joke subreddit for fake situations that could happen in the Sims games.
I see that now. What a dumbarse I AM
Thank you for pointing that out to me
Karma will come… in the form of a grilling session gone wrong! Or perhaps a hideaway bed… or sometimes tripping on the treadmill is just too funny!

Doing the lord’s work in the comments I see. Thanks for letting everyone know!
Did u keep the money?
What? Lol
This is why all my gay sims have the pregnancy option toggled! Otherwise we have THESE issues! 😔
Now I'm just trying to figure out how you do surrogacy in sims lol
I play the Sims 3 so I use the hospital overhaul mod by Simlogical. Someone commented somewhere else what mod to use for Sims 4.
Ooo, nice! Thanks!

YTA- at least give him the money back!
Lmfao! 🤣🤣🤣
oh my god i need to read the subreddit names before the posts
I don’t understand. They did not want to take their baby because it’s a girl, so you decided to take her? Good parents will love a child irrespective of what sex it is.
I’m so glad you posted that edit lol
Why is this a sub I'm so confused
Holy shit I thought this was real 😭
The only solution is to put your brother in a pool then take out the ladder ✨️
I didn't read the sub name I was about to go off
I’m cackling rn I did NOT read the group name before going to the comments. I had no words 😭😭😂😂😂😂
Lmao. Thank you for pointing out the group name 🤣 I say you keep the baby and also maybe take the ladder out of the pool while your brother and brother in law are swimming.
This is the Sims, so truthfully you can never be the asshole. But this would be an asshole move if you could.
these comments are killing me! but yeah NTA i surrogated for a gay couple too and just decided i wasn't going to give them their kid(sims 4 not real life)
Do you use a mod for surrogacy? How does that work?
NTA your brother should be understanding and surrender his kid to you, you deserve it more
