I have a daughter from an affair, and I know that makes me a terrible person. My very forgiving wife agreed to give me a second chance but didn’t want my daughter, Daisy, to live with us. I agreed, but I still wanted to be involved in Daisy’s life.
When Daisy, who was 15 at the time, had no other option but to move in with us, I took on all the responsibilities to avoid burdening my wife. My other children didn’t want to build a relationship with Daisy, and I didn’t push them to.
Daisy later married a very wealthy man, and they lived a luxurious life. My children met her husband once, and I thought that was the end of it. Recently, Daisy asked me to tell my “legitimate kids” to stop contacting her. She sent screenshots of their messages where they apologized for not knowing her better and included cash emojis.
I confronted my children, saying they embarrassed me and wouldn’t have reached out if Daisy had married someone less wealthy. I told them to leave her alone.
My children were hurt, and my wife was angry, saying I had no right to call them embarrassments when they were just trying to be kind to their sister.

AITA for My Reaction to My Kids Contacting the Child from My Affair?
NTA, I’m team Daisy, your ‘legitimate ‘ kids and wife probably put her through hell while she was living with you. Good for her for declining any association with them now.
Sounds like someone is only considered family to your wife and “legitimate children” when it involves 💵 💰
You NTA
I recently got a text from Daisy saying “can you tell your legitimate kids to stop talking to me. Please and thank you” So, can anyone guess what his kids were calling Daisy to her face when she lived there? Yeah. I thought so.
Isn’t this the plot of Cinderella? Like almost to a tee except in this story the father is alive??
