A woman revealed she had cut off all ties with her mother-in-law after her cruel act in the delivery room.
According to the young lady in question, she and he in-law had an agreement that her husband would drop her off at the hospital when she went into labor while the mother-in-law would collect other family members and bring them to the hospital.
The angry mom explained that she always wanted to give birth in the presence of her own mother, brothers, and grandmother, and that her MIL promised to pick them all up and bring them to the hospital when she was ready to give birth.
And when that time finally arrived, the woman was shocked to see the mother-in-law arrive at the hospital alone.
Despite their “well-known plan,” the MIL refused to pick up the woman’s close relatives saying she wanted to let them sleep because it was already late.
“I told her in a pi***d off tone to go get my mum, that was the plan, I needed my mum, and she just wouldn’t. At one point she said that she didn’t feel up to driving that much (my mum lives 20 minutes from her house, an hour away). So, I told her to get the f**k out of the room and that she was dead to me,” the new mom recalled.
“The amount of resentment and disgust that I felt toward her in this moment is honestly not something I feel I will overcome any time soon. She was pi***d, saying that my mum got to experience two births already and how she didn’t do anything wrong and she was ‘just being respectful of people’s sleep’ and when she wasn’t leaving, she was actually escorted out.”
Fortunately, the experience wasn’t totally ruined and the woman’s mother managed to arrive at the hospital just in time to witness the birth.
After asking Reddit if she was in the wrong for getting angry at her MIL, the woman received plenty of support from readers who thought the in-law was selfish and out of the line.
“Your mother-in-law’s argument isn’t even valid because you called and spoke to everyone to tell them to get ready to come to the hospital. She doesn’t get to decide for someone else if they should get some rest or not,” someone wrote.
Another said: “I don’t blame you for being so angry. She chose her actions, and now she needs to learn from her actions. A time-out is a perfect way to teach her.”
