His Sister Is Mad At Him For Preventing Their Parents From Paying For Her To Have Another Shot At IVF
A 23-year-old guy has an older sister who is 28. His sister got married 6 years ago, and for half of her marriage, she has been trying for a baby with her husband, though it has not worked out.
More than a year ago, his sister and her husband asked their mom and dad to pay for them to get IVF.
Their parents said that they would pay for his sister to undergo IVF, and they took it out of their retirement savings.
He chose to give his sister a couple of hundred dollars, too, because he wanted to be supportive, despite the fact that he did not have money saved at all since he just graduated from college.
“Unfortunately, the IVF failed,” he explained. “Yesterday, my sister and BIL came over again for dinner.”
“Afterwards, my sister said she wanted to try another round of IVF and asked my parents if they would pay for it again. I could tell my parents looked hesitant, but they agreed because my sister was crying.”
He decided to intervene, as he thought it was wrong of his sister to want their parents to pay for her to get IVF again, especially since it did not work out for them once and the odds of it not working out again are pretty high.
He and his sister began fighting in front of everyone, and his sister accused him of meddling in something that shouldn’t concern him.
“I told her she if she can’t pay for the IVF, then she needs to accept that she can’t afford a kid,” he said.

“She told me to get out, but I refused. My parents were trying to calm us down, my mom started telling me that it’s not my money, to which I replied that it’s basically a gift to one child and not the other and that it was only fair that I be given a similar amount of money as what they would spend on my sister.”
“My sister started complaining that it’s not a gift, it’s a treatment for a medical condition and if I’d expect payment if she had cancer and my parents paid for chemo.”
“I told her not being able to have a kid poses no threat to her life the way cancer does, and it’s a completely disingenuous comparison.”
Then, their dad got involved and told them both to stop speaking and sit back down at the dinner table.
Their dad then turned to his sister and said that it would not be fair for them to pay for the second round of IVF, and she needs to just be ok with her life going the way that it is.
His sister began sobbing, so her husband got her to leave. Earlier today, his sister began texting him some nasty things, and she’s upset that he stuck his nose “in her business,” which she feels is preventing her from finally having the baby that she wants.
He’s left wondering if he’s in the wrong for preventing their parents from funding another round of IVF for his sister.
