“Isso deveria ser ilegal”: Homem criticado por engravidar mulher deficiente e agora seu bebê é “perfeito”
- Noah e Alex são um casal com deficiências.
- O relacionamento deles recebeu muitos comentários negativos, com pessoas pensando que Noah tinha um “fetiche por deficiência”.
- Elas anunciaram a gravidez e enfrentaram ainda mais reações negativas.
- Alex e Noah deram as boas-vindas a uma linda e saudável menina.
Alex e Noah são um casal que desafia as probabilidades e quebra limites graças ao seu amor. Alex é uma mulher deficiente; ela tem uma doença rara chamada atrofia muscular espinhal, que afeta todos os aspectos de sua vida diária.
O casal se conheceu no site de namoro Bumble e se deram bem desde o primeiro encontro. Mais de um ano depois, eles ainda estavam firmes.
Após sete meses de namoro, eles anunciaram que estavam esperando o primeiro filho juntos. No entanto, Alex admitiu que a gravidez não foi fácil porque ela teve que parar o tratamento, o que significou que Noah se tornou seu cuidador em tempo integral.
Quando ela está sob medicação, ela é mais independente fisicamente. No entanto, com limites claros, o casal encontrou uma boa rotina.
Relembrando os primeiros dias de namoro, Alex e Noah confessaram que suas famílias estavam céticas sobre o relacionamento.
A família de Alex não aprovou Noah imediatamente por causa de seu histórico de dependência de drogas. Ele tinha ido para a reabilitação três vezes, mas acredita que a terceira vez o ajudou a controlar sua condição.
Por outro lado, a família de Noah teve dificuldade em entender que ela estava namorando uma pessoa com deficiência, mas quanto mais tempo Alex passava com eles, mais eles se solidarizavam com ela.
Por que o casal foi criticado?
Embora ambas as famílias tenham aprendido a apoiar o casal, eles ainda recebem muitos olhares, “quase a ponto de as pessoas quebrarem seus pescoços”, diz Noah .
Os olhares constantes deixam Noah desconfortável, enquanto Alex não se incomoda com eles. Ela explicou que, tendo vivido a vida inteira com uma deficiência, ela se acostumou com as pessoas olhando para ela daquele jeito.
Além dos olhares que recebiam em público, o relacionamento de Alex e Noah sempre foi alvo de escrutínio nas redes sociais. As pessoas acreditavam que ele tinha um “fetiche por deficiência”, presumindo que sua atração física e sexual pela namorada não era real.
Mas o anúncio de sua gravidez gerou mais críticas. Durante sua entrevista com “Love Don’t Judge”, o casal compartilhou imagens de sua reação ao teste de gravidez positivo.
No vídeo, Alex tinha três testes positivos alinhados. No começo, foi uma mistura de emoções para a futura mamãe, pois não foi planejado.
Noah admitiu que ambos estavam animados e nervosos. Parte da preocupação era devido ao parto de Alex. Ele explicou que ela seria intubada, o que era arriscado para alguém com sua condição. No entanto, ele estava confiante de que a equipe médica garantiria que ela desse à luz um bebê saudável.
O casal também recebeu presentes de seus apoiadores, um dos quais foi uma caixa de mamadeiras adequadas para pessoas com atrofia muscular espinhal, o que significa que são leves o suficiente para Alex segurar e alimentar seu filho.
Alex já tinha presença nas redes sociais, onde compartilhava vários momentos de sua vida, então compartilhar sua gravidez com seus seguidores foi emocionante.
Mas antes do primeiro ultrassom, o casal começou a receber comentários negativos. Várias pessoas anteciparam o ultrassom e expressaram suas suspeitas de que a gravidez era falsa.
Então, quando eles foram para o primeiro ultrassom, o casal sentiu que tinha que provar sua veracidade para o mundo. Esses comentários negativos começaram a aparecer quando um dos vídeos deles viralizou.
Alex e Noah se vestiram de operários da construção civil para o Halloween e seguraram uma placa que dizia “em construção”. Usuários do TikTok imediatamente atacaram o casal, com alguns dizendo para eles “abortarem o bebê” porque “ele pode ter sua doença”, dizia outro comentário .
A futura mamãe confessou que foi o maior ódio que ela já recebeu nas redes sociais, o que ela achou mentalmente exaustivo. As pessoas se perguntavam o que Alex faria se seu namorado a deixasse, e outras descaradamente disseram que sua gravidez deveria ser “ilegal”, duvidando de sua capacidade de cuidar de seu futuro filho.
Mas o ódio que Alex e Noah receberam não os impediu de seguir em frente. O casal estava animado com seu próximo capítulo como uma família de três e queria que sua história de amor mostrasse os muitos relacionamentos diferentes que existem.
Como qualquer outro casal, Alex e Noah deixaram claro que merecem ser amados e começar uma família. É por isso que, para aqueles que não acreditavam neles, Alex disse : “Não vamos a lugar nenhum.”
Como é o bebê do casal?
Vinte e quatro horas antes do nascimento do bebê, Alex atualizou seus fãs. Ela compartilhou uma colagem tocante de sua gravidez e expressou o quão abençoada se sentia por ter criado uma vida com o amor de sua vida.
A personalidade da mídia social também informou aos fãs que daria uma atualização assim que estivesse em seu quarto de UTI. Conforme prometido, Alex anunciou a chegada de sua preciosa menina, Ari Jacqueline Smith, nascida em 6 de março de 2023, com 34 semanas e dois dias.

Segurar sua filha pela primeira vez foi emocionante e um sentimento que Alex disse ser indescritível. Ele compartilhou um vídeo de Ari em seus braços enquanto ele se sentava e aproveitava o momento com os olhos fechados. “Eu amo esse pequeno humano com todo o meu coração”, ele expressou .

Depois de passar três semanas na UTI, a mãe compartilhou outro vídeo especial dela e Noah trazendo a filha para casa pela primeira vez.
A chegada de Ari foi recebida com muito amor pelos usuários do Instagram. “Ela é tão perfeita”, escreveu um seguidor, e ainda mais usuários acharam o bebê precioso.
Fãs disseram para Alex aproveitar a fase de recém-nascida porque ela passa rápido, e outro a parabenizou e disse que uma filha é a melhor amiga de uma mãe. Mas, acima de tudo, as pessoas não conseguiam parar de elogiar a garotinha por quão perfeita e linda ela era.
Desde a chegada da filha, Alex compartilhou fotos adoráveis de Ari nos braços do pai e outro momento terno do vínculo entre o bebê e o cachorro .
O casal comemorou a primeira Páscoa da filha com uma sessão de fotos em família. Eles vestiram Ari com um vestido branco e uma faixa floral combinando em volta da cabeça.
Alex usou um vestido branco e posou com a filha nos braços; Noah também manteve o tema branco enquanto segurava Ari cuidadosamente em seus braços.

My MIL Came to My Work Demanding I Pay for Expensive Caviar — the Lesson I Taught Her Had Everyone Applauding
My mother-in-law and I never saw eye to eye, and she always tried to get under my skin. But when she pulled a stunt at my workplace, I had enough and decided to teach her a valuable lesson then and there, to the praise of my colleagues and manager.
Yesterday, I was about halfway through my shift at an upscale grocery store where I work part-time when I saw her: Denise, my mother-in-law (MIL). She was strolling through the automatic doors like she was walking into her kingdom. Little did I know that her presence would cause a confrontation where I was forced to stand up for myself.

The store’s faint background music did nothing to dull the sound of her heels clacking on the polished floor as she made her grand entrance, dripping with expensive jewelry. Denise had that air about her like everyone should stop what they were doing and admire her presence.
And to be honest, she kind of expected it.
She was in her usual “look-at-me” outfit: a tailored designer coat, big sunglasses despite it being perfectly lit indoors, and a diamond necklace that probably cost more than I made in a year.

When she strutted straight toward my register, a smirk already forming on her lips, my stomach did a little flip. What on earth was she doing here?
Denise had never come to my job before, and at that very moment, part of me wished it could’ve stayed that way forever. The woman had a way of making me feel two inches tall as if her disapproving looks and passive-aggressive comments weren’t enough of a daily reminder that I wasn’t “good enough” for her precious son, Jack.

We’ve been married for five years, and still, my MIL found ways to remind me that I didn’t measure up to her standards. My husband didn’t help much and always appeared to take her side to avoid further drama, saying things like, “That’s just how Mom is.”
His unwillingness to have my back drove me insane! But I love him and believed my MIL would eventually get tired. For years, I put up with her antics and continued biting my tongue… until yesterday. Yesterday was the last time Denise messed with me because I taught her a lesson she’d never forget.
Here’s how it happened…

She stopped in front of my register and gave me that fake smile that sent chills down my spine. In her arms were two cans of caviar, the specialty, high-end, top-of-the-line kind that cost more than my rent.
I glanced at the price tags. Yep, it was as bad as I thought: hundreds of dollars for two tiny tins.
“Sweetheart,” Denise said in that sickly sweet tone she always used when she wanted something. She dropped the cans down with a soft thud on the counter and glanced over her shoulder, probably making sure we had an audience.
“I need you to take care of this.”

Confused, I blinked, trying to process what she was asking.
“Sure,” I replied, reaching to scan the cans for her, but she stopped me to clarify.
“No, silly, I need you to TAKE CARE OF IT, darling,” she replied, looking annoyed but thrilled to be putting me on the spot.
“Take care of it?” I repeated, unsure if I’d heard her right or understood what she really wanted.
Denise tilted her head and gave me a pitying look like I was a child who couldn’t understand basic math.
“PAY for the caviar, my dear. You’ve always been so slow,” she said as if she were explaining the most obvious thing in the world.

“See, I’m hosting a little dinner party tonight, and my friends are expecting ONLY the best. I’m sure Jack wouldn’t mind if you helped out. After all, it’s what family does. And I’m certain you wouldn’t want me to disappoint my guests, would you?”
I stared at her, my hands frozen on the register. Stunned is an understatement for how I felt at that moment. I wanted to laugh, but the words were caught in my throat.
“Denise, this is hundreds of dollars’ worth of caviar,” I said, my voice low, trying to keep my composure. “I can’t—”
But she cut me off with a dismissive wave of her hand.

“Oh, don’t be so dramatic,” she scoffed. “My Jack will cover it. You’re his wife, and it’s your job to help with things like this.”
Now, I had put up with a lot from Denise over the years, but this? This was new. She wanted me to shell out hundreds of dollars, on the spot, for some caviar that she absolutely didn’t need, just so she could impress her fancy friends!
My co-workers were watching, probably wondering what was happening. I could feel their eyes on me, the customers in line shifting awkwardly as they pretended not to eavesdrop.

“Denise,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady, “I’m not paying for your caviar.”
Her smile faltered, but only for a second. She quickly recovered, brushing off my refusal like a minor inconvenience.
“Oh, come on, honey,” she said, her voice dripping with false kindness. “Don’t be selfish. You know how important this is to me. My friends expect the best.” She leaned in closer and whispered, “If you don’t help me out here, I’ll make sure Jack knows exactly how uncooperative you’re being.”

That was it…
Something inside me snapped. I wasn’t about to let this woman blackmail me in front of a crowd, in my own workplace no less! I squared my shoulders and gave her a sweet but tight-lipped smile, pretending to go along with her demands.
“You know what, Denise?” I said, my voice a little louder now. “You’re absolutely right. I’ll take care of it.”
Her eyes lit up with satisfaction, convinced she had won. “I knew you’d see reason,” she said, already preparing to bask in her victory.

I grabbed the cans of caviar and scanned them, feeling the weight of every dollar as it added up on the register. My heart was pounding, but I knew exactly what I was going to do. After I bagged the caviar when my MIL wasn’t looking, I leaned forward and pressed the microphone button at my register.
My voice rang out loud and clear over the speakers as I gave Denise a taste of her own medicine, but amplified…

“Attention, shoppers,” I said, trying to keep the glee out of my voice.
“I’d like to introduce you all to a very special guest today, my mother-in-law, Denise! She’s here to buy two cans of our finest caviar, and she’s asked me, her cashier daughter-in-law, to pay for them. Let’s give her a round of applause for being such a generous family member!”
For a split second, the store was dead silent. Then, someone in the back started clapping, slowly at first, but then others joined in. Soon enough, the whole store was clapping and cheering!

My co-workers were grinning from ear to ear, and even the customers in line were chuckling and clapping along!
Denise’s face turned a shade of red I’d never seen before!
“What the hell are YOU doing?” she hissed under her breath, glaring at me like I’d just committed a crime.
I kept smiling, pretending to be oblivious.
“Oh, I just thought everyone should know how generous you are, Denise. Isn’t that what you wanted?”

She snatched the bag from the counter, her lips pressed into a thin line. Without another word, she stormed out of the store, her heels clicking furiously against the tile floor as the applause continued!
It didn’t stop until she was well out the door, and by then, I was practically glowing from the satisfaction of it all!
After she left, my co-worker Rachel sidled up next to me, barely able to contain her laughter.
“That,” she whispered, “was the most LEGENDARY thing I’ve ever seen!”

The store manager, who’d been watching the whole thing from the back, gave me a wink as he passed by. “Remind me to never get on your bad side,” he said, grinning.
I couldn’t stop smiling as I finished my shift. It wasn’t just the applause or the fact that I’d finally stood up to Denise in such a public way. It was knowing that, for once, I’d outplayed her.
It wasn’t until later that night, when I got home, that the full impact of what happened hit me. Jack was sitting on the couch, his phone in hand, looking confused and impressed at the same time.

“What the hell happened with my mom today?” he asked, not quite able to hide the hint of a smile.
I sat down next to him and told him everything. I braced myself, expecting him to be mad or at least a little annoyed. But instead, he just shook his head, fighting back a laugh.
“You know,” he said, “I think she might leave us alone for a while.”
And guess what? He was right. My MIL hasn’t called, texted, or shown up since!

Denise sadly isn’t the only troublesome MIL out there. Jane moved in with her son and his wife, pretending to have issues with her home, only to find out she wanted to monitor the couple and ensure they give her grandchildren. Her daughter-in-law was having none of it and retaliated the best way she knew how.
