When farmer Ben saw that his mare was pregnant, he was filled with joy. This meant he would have another horse,which could lead to greater financial wealth if it turned out to be a good horse. After waiting for months, the moment was almost here.
The belly was swollen, and the mare showed signs of being about to give birth. But strangely, she refused to deliver even with a huge belly. Ben decided to go to the local vet to get an ultrasound.
When the vet saw the ultrasound, he immediately called the police. But what was wrong with the mare? And what had Ben done wrong? Let’s uncover this curious case.
As the police also lived in this small town, any action was considered good action. There really wasn’t much to do here; everyone knew each other, and crime was quite low.
In fact, the local police department had practically nothing to do during the day, as there wasn’t much law enforcement to handle, so it was as exciting as any other case.
When the police finally arrived, they helped the vet calm the almost lifeless giant horse. But the police not only assisted the vet; they also came to talk to Ben. “Sir, we need you to come with us, it’s important.”
Ben was in sh.ock. He had only asked the vet to come and help his mare give birth. What had he done wrong? Horse births should be a fairly straightforward process.
Horses often give birth without assistance, and foals usually come out of their mothers already knowing how to walk and gallop despite being born just minutes earlier. Truly, horses are one of the easiest animals to assist in giving birth, and Ben knew it.
Ben answered questions about himself and the mare he had owned since his youth. When he answered all the questions, he heard disbelief coming from the operating room. “I can’t believe it!” said the vet.
But what had the vet found inside the horse that surprised him so much? What left them stunned?
The average conception rate (with artificial insemination) is around 60%, indicating that getting 90% of mares pregnant generally takes two or three cycles.
You’ve already doubled or tripled your veterinary expenses just trying to get your mare pregnant at this rate. Getting a mare pregnant takes a lot of work, making this occasion stressful for Ben.
Dad & fiancée exclude his daughter from their wedding after she bought a dress & shoes for it
Reddit is the place where people share stories of their life and ask fellow redditors for advice and opinion on the decision they make.
A teenage girl recently shared that her dad and his wife-to-be excluded her from their wedding and she explained the reasons behind that heartbreaking decision.
“I (f18) was always pretty close to my dad. Closer to my mom but I often visited my dad (about 3-4 times a week). A few years ago he started dating “Anna”. Anna and I always got along when my dad proposed I was happy Anna seemed like she would be a great stepmom,” she started her post.
OP said that she was overly excited and was looking forward to the wedding. She bought a dress and shoes, but then her dad told her that he and his fiancée needed to talk to her about something important.
“Well a few weeks before the wedding after I had bought everything (dress, shoes, etc) my dad and Anna said they needed to “talk to me” Anna and my dad decided to have a child free wedding which I get especially for young kids.
“Well turns out child-free means no one under 18. On the day of the wedding, I was still going to be 17 so, therefore, I’m not allowed to be at the wedding because Anna wants to stay true to the child-free rule even for the daughter of the groom and her about-to-be stepdaughter.”
Devastated, OP told her mom what her dad and Anna said to her. The mom was as heartbroken as her daughter and decided to take her on vacation so that she cheer up. At the same time, the mom told the rest of the family what her ex-husband did to their daughter. Understandably, most of them were shocked and angry.
Later, OP posted birthday pictures on Facebook and wrote, “I’m so glad my dad and Anna didn’t allow me at their wedding since I was under 18; I feel more mature since yesterday.”
“The family was freaking out asking if that was true and bashing my dad and Anna. I later got a bunch of texts from my dad and Anna calling me immature and a selfish brat and that’s why I was too immature to be at a wedding. I was talking to some friends and they said I was kinda an AH for doing that and I should have just let it go.”
Fellow redditors shared their opinions and agreed that OP wasn’t an AH for telling the family what her dad did to her.
“NTA. What kind of man doesn’t have his own child at his wedding? Anyway, they made the choice, if they believe it was the right choice they should have no issue about it being publicly known. Plus, people might well assume you weren’t there because you disapproved of his new wife or chose a vacation instead. Ensuring people know WHY you weren’t there saves your own reputation,” one person commented.
“The no children was made for you. I’m sorry but let that sink in. She made that rule to keep you out. You now know where you stand in their marriage…you don’t. I’m so sorry. NTA. I personally think it was EPIC. Harsh but epic. They deserved more than that. I would even update it with pictures of their texts,” another added.
A third wrote, “I can’t help but wonder if she purposefully pick a date before OP birthday just so she couldn’t go. If the dad & step-mom wanted to make it child free but make sure OP was there they could have made sure the date was AFTER OP birthday but to make it just 2 days before….. nah they didn’t want her there & was just trying to use that as an excuse.”
We believe the dad was not right for excluding his own daughter from the wedding.
