r/AmItheAsshole – AITA for kicking my brother-in-law out after he told me not to force fatherhood on my husband a second time?

I’ve always wanted children but my husband didn’t initially want them. We had an unplanned pregnancy and he knew I didn’t want an abortion so he agreed that we should keep the baby. He was upfront about only agreeing because he wanted me to be happy and that he would always give me whatever I wanted. Despite this, he’s a wonderful father and loves our son very much.

Now I’m pregnant again and we told our families 2 weeks ago. My brother-in-law came to visit and when my husband was in the other room he brought up my pregnancy and essentially told me not to force fatherhood on my husband a second time and that I should be content with our son. I said I hadn’t forced fatherhood on him and that he loved our son and would love our baby too. My brother-in-law agreed but he said my husband loved our son because he was half me and because he made me happy. I was upset by this point so I asked him to leave.

He didn’t make a move to leave and instead said I needed to consider what my husband wanted this time. I told him to get out which he eventually did after arguing with me some more. My husband is upset at his brother too, but he said I shouldn’t have kicked him out and instead I should’ve let him deal with it.

My brother-in-law is still angry at me for kicking him out so I wanted to ask here if I was an asshole for doing so?
