Welcome back to another Reddit post from the AITA thread that we're going to be looking into today. This thread is often used for people who are looking for unbiased opinions and advice on their situation that they are posting about.

Ultimately we love looking into these posts because they're very entertaining and they usually get a lot of different comments on them from different perspectives as well. So with this all being said, we are going to dive in and take a look at this post that was submitted and see what it's all about.

This father comes to Reddit to see if he is wrong for not wanting his baby to be around someone who doesn't have a great history. Basically, his wife has rekindled a friendship from back in the day and he said that he's never heard anything great about this friend.

He expressed his concerns but his wife thinks it's a jab at her not being able to watch their baby or be a good mother around the friend. This situation is a little difficult to navigate but people in the comments had a lot of advice for OP.

So without further ado, let's dive in and check out the full post and some of the best comments on it as well.

OP gives a little bit of background on this friend and the wife's relationship with her as well. He explains what he's heard about her which has made his opinion what it is.

Then this is when he gets into the details about how his wife reacted when he explained his concerns about the friend.

This is when people came to the comments and let him know that he's not TA for having concerns about this friend because it sounds like she wasn't that great of a person.

It definitely is not too much to ask and he being that girl's friend should make her know exactly how she is and why her husband doesn't want the baby around her.

OP responded a lot in the comments and really gave a conversational feel to the post that he had submitted. This allowed us to know even more about what he thought of the situation.

People were encouraging him to stand his ground and to let his wife know exactly what his thoughts are on this.

Many people gave advice but it seems that OP has done a lot on his side to help explain this in the best way to his wife.

It seems as if his wife doesn't do that stuff anymore, but we understand the concern of the friend dragging her back into something like that.

This is a great rule because yes both parents need to agree on who is around or isn't around their kid.

It seems like a lot of people were on OP's side, and they understand why he wouldn't want them to be hanging out. Obviously, this isn't clear to the wife, so I hope that he can explain it to her again and she comes around instead of doing something somewhat dangerous.

What do you think?
