Her Sister-In-Law Announced Her Pregnancy At A Funeral For 2 Children So She Snapped And Is Asking The Internet To Tell Her If She Was Wrong
A woman recently snapped at her sister-in-law for announcing her pregnancy at a funeral for 2 children.
Although she thought what she was doing was right at the time, she’s now asking the internet if she was somehow in the wrong, especially since her sister-in-law’s family is all over her for it.
She started out by explaining that her 33-year-old cousin Mary lost her 32-year-old husband and two of the three children they shared together in a car accident; their 3-year-old little girl and 10-month-old little boy.
Mary had asked her husband to take their kids to the store the day the accident happened so that she could get things done around the house.
Mary and her 5-year-old daughter are a mess over the loss of their family, and this woman said their situation is absolutely heartbreaking.
Mary is so distraught someone from their family needs to be with her constantly to make sure she doesn’t hurt herself.
On the day of the funeral, as soon as her brother and his wife got to her house, her 26-year-old sister-in-law told her she was pregnant.
She mentioned to her sister-in-law that she was happy for them, but that she should keep the news to herself today due to the sad occasion.
“Well, when we arrived at the church she kept making gagging sounds and robbing her stomach saying “I as a mom can’t imagine what she is going through” they have no kids so people would look at her and she’d tell them she was pregnant,” she said.

Her sister-in-law continued drawing attention to herself throughout the rest of the day.
At her aunt’s house, her sister-in-law would tell anyone in the bathroom through the other side of the door that she’s pregnant and needs to use the restroom.
Her sister-in-law also forced one of her cousins to let her have her seat because she was the pregnant one who needed to rest.
“I ignored her till she came to Mary stuck out her flat belly and said “me and Issac just found out I was pregnant and honestly we are beside ourselves it could happen to us” Mary broke down,” she continued.
“I snapped like who says that to a woman who just literally lost two babies??”
“I said loudly to my SIL “no gives…you’re pregnant look around it’s not just one but two babies funerals not to mention the love of Mary’s life like I knew you were an attention seeker but…you took the test four days ago just leave.”
Her sister-in-law did end up tearfully leaving after that.
Mary and her aunt ended up thanking her for what she did because her sister-in-law’s comments were upsetting them.
Following the incident, her sister-in-law’s family and her brother have been calling her and saying terrible things to her because she “made a pregnant woman cry.”
Then, her sister-in-law and her brother targeted one of her cousins, calling them nonstop to try to get them to make her apologize.
A few days later when she arrived at her mom and dad’s house, she found her brother and sister-in-law there trying to convince her parents of their side of the story.
“They both came at me screaming and yelling about SIL’s feelings and she could miscarry from the stress I caused her again I told them a funeral, especially one for two children, isn’t the time to announce a pregnancy,” she wrote.
Her sister-in-law said their child would never be part of her life if she didn’t drop her “attitude.”
Things escalated from there and her dad kicked out her sister-in-law and brother. “So yeah all this drama at a time we should be there for one another,” she concluded.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“What a horrible human being to take someone’s grief of not just one person, but 3 of the closest people in their lives, and make it about her?”
“There’s not one reason why SIL needed to announce anything that day, much less spend the whole day making it about herself.”
“I hope someone keeps her well away from the rest of the family for a good while, and I sincerely hope your cousin gets the time and support she needs to heal.”
“The whole thing is almost inconceivable to me. I’ve sat on pregnancy news for smaller reasons before because sometimes things are about other people.”
“I can’t imagine making up symptoms at two seconds pregnant so that I could upstage a children’s funeral. There’s something wrong with SIL.”
“I cannot find any mitigating circumstances for how your SIL behaved and I’m really good at being able to see multiple sides to any situation.”
“I’m frankly appalled. Her behavior would have been obnoxious if the gathering had been a family birthday brunch. That it was a funeral, for multiple people including babies, made it shocking.”
“I went to a funeral once when I was about 26 weeks along for a 9-year-old child.”
“I wore basically a trench coat so no one would notice because I felt horribly wrong that I was still pregnant and this mama had lost her kiddo. Your SIL is a cow!”
“I wouldn’t have created a scene..it would have been a Broadway musical. Thank you for attending up for her. I can’t imagine her pain. But I will keep you all in my thoughts as you navigate each day.”
“She was being selfish and heartless. She owes everyone an apology – especially Mary. The fact that you made it so long without yelling at her is impressive.”
