This Redditor (OP) got a bunch of money from his mom after she passed away. Instead of paying off the house, he decided to use the money for the college fund of all three of his kids—one is his biological son, Ethan, and the other two, Aiden and Gracie, are adopted. However, things got a little bit tough when his wife didn't agree with his decision, as he wanted to contribute his inheritance equally to their three kids.
The OP shared that she was willing to pay for their biological son's college but only wanted to help a bit with their adopted children. The OP thought it was not fair and that all the kids should get the same chance. The fight got more intense, and his wife left the house.
And now the OP is left wondering what will happen to their relationship. So he came to the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit to ask people online for their opinion. Scroll down to check out the entire story and the thoughts of Redditors.

Here's the second part of the edit...


Very sound advice

It's terrible if the wife values the adopted children less

Adopted children desire the equal love and resources

The wife's words may have a lasting impact on adopted children

Reconsider the relationship due to her behavior

Why the wife adopted children while she can't treat them equally

This is heartbreaking
