She’s Evicting Her Boyfriend And His Son After His Son Kept Scaring Her Baby On Purpose
After giving birth to her daughter three months ago, this woman was diagnosed with postpartum depression.
She has been in a relationship with her daughter’s father, her boyfriend, for the last six years. Her boyfriend has a 12-year-old son named Jake from a previous relationship.
For the last decade, she has owned her own home, and two years ago, her boyfriend and Jake moved in with her.
Jake adores his half-sister. He constantly holds her and wants to help take care of her. However, ever since she was born, he has always intentionally scared his sister for his own amusement.
“He’s always walking up to her and yelling, ‘RAW!’ He thinks it’s hilarious when she does startle reflexes and then laughs when she cries, saying, ‘Aw, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare her like that,’ but he continued laughing and purposely trying to scare her at least four times a day,” she said.
Every time Jake has done this, she’s demanded that he stop, but he never listens. She explained that his yelling hurts his sister’s sensitive ears and pointed out his behavior isn’t humorous.
Three days ago, she freaked out and let both her boyfriend and Jake know that if this continued, she would evict them and not stay in their lives except for co-parenting purposes.
“I said this because while my boyfriend does correct his kid sometimes, he also tells me I’m overreacting. He said that it’s natural for kids to think it’s funny when babies get startled and that I simply don’t understand because I’ve never been around multiple kids,” she explained.
Jake has a younger half-brother, and he purposely scared him when he was a baby, the exact same way that he’s scaring her daughter now.

Despite her boyfriend’s excuses, she warned him that she wouldn’t hesitate to evict them and force them to get out of her house if the behavior didn’t stop.
Afterward, she felt guilty because she saw the depressed look on Jake’s face as he left and walked to his bedroom.
A couple of nights ago, she walked out of the room where she had her daughter set up in her swing, and she was only gone for a moment.
While she was out of the room, Jake walked in and sat next to her daughter in the swing. Then, in a baby-talk voice, Jake asked his half-sister, purposely in a loud voice, what she was doing, which caused her to begin to scream and cry. She was still out of the room and heard her boyfriend check on their daughter and calm her down.
About an hour after this, she left her daughter momentarily again to use the bathroom. Again, Jake went up to her daughter, and she heard him yell, “RAW!” at her daughter, which, like last time, made her daughter start crying.
This was the last straw for her. She ordered Jake and her boyfriend to start packing and leave immediately. Since she needed to tend to her daughter, she didn’t pause to see their reactions.
Jake attempted to say he was sorry and that he couldn’t help scaring the baby because, according to him, it was a “habit” that he supposedly couldn’t break.
But when she questioned him about why he repeatedly does this, he told her that he finds it hilarious when infants cry.
Her boyfriend was furious that she was kicking them out, and he began arguing against her decision.
“He was saying it’s not a big deal, and I just refused to acknowledge their excuses and told them to leave,” she shared.
“My boyfriend sat down in a chair, said he wasn’t going anywhere, and that this was his house, too. So, I said I would leave, then, and have cops serve him an eviction notice.”
“He tried begging me to calm down and kept saying, ‘He’s 12; what do you expect? He’s not going to be perfect.'”
She left the house, and the following morning, she filed the paperwork to have Jake and her boyfriend evicted.
All her loved ones whom she’s told have said she’s going overboard, but she doesn’t agree. Jake won’t change and continues shouting right in her daughter’s face in order to terrify her, and he does it several times a day.
