Her Mother-In-Law Denied Her Food And Ostracized Her Weight At Her Own Baby Shower, So She Left, And Her Husband Actually Freaked Out
This woman and her husband are currently expecting their first son together. So, her sister-in-law decided to throw her a baby shower.
But her mother-in-law completely ruined the entire day over something so stupid– her appearance.
“I am a bit of a big girl. But, no shame in that, I love myself just the way I am, and I have been living by the motto, ‘Be you, everybody else is taken,'” she explained.
“But, my mother-in-law always made comments about my weight. And ever since I got pregnant, she started making more comments and lowkey shaming me for what I eat.”
For example, whenever she would go to her mother-in-law’s house, they would only serve her a smaller portion size. Plus, she would only be given smaller plates, cups, and even utensils. How demeaning.
Plus, her mother-in-law even still buys her size small clothing despite her being in her second trimester of pregnancy.
And sadly, this degrading behavior even continued on the day of her own baby shower.
It all began after she arrived at the event, spoke to all of the guests, and started to get kind of hungry. So, she walked over to the food table– which only contained cake and juice– and tried to get some.
But, her mother-in-law was serving the food for whatever reason. And after her mother-in-law saw her reaching for the cake, they literally grabbed her arm before making some outrageous comments.

“My mother-in-law said that I had gained enough weight already and that if I kept this up, her son would not be happy living with a large walrus,” she recalled.
She was utterly shocked and had no idea how to react– especially since her mother-in-law had said that in front of all the guests. So, she just put the cake down, grabbed her bag, and began to walk out of the shower.
However, her sister-in-law– who threw her the party– followed and tried to stop her. She was not sympathetic, though. Instead, her sister-in-law just said it would embarrass her if she left mid-party.
This took her back, too, but she ultimately told her sister-in-law that she would have to make her mother leave if they wanted her to stay. Still, her sister-in-law did not understand that, either.
“Are you crazy? She’s my mom! You want me to kick her out in front of everybody?” is actually exactly what her sister-in-law said. So, she ended up turning back around and leaving the baby shower for good.
After she got home, though, her husband was surprisingly furious. In fact, he claimed that she messed up the shower over something “so minor”– which she took even more offense to.
She tried to explain how his mother literally tried to cut her off from eating on top of calling her such hurtful names. Still, though, he was not hearing it.
“He said that his mom meant well and that I needed to get rid of this ‘easily offended’ mindset immediately before I pass it down to our son,” she said.
Then, her husband claimed that cakes are non-essential foods and that not being able to eat them was no reason to leave the shower.
Finally, he said his mother and sister had poured a ton of time and money into the event and that she should actually call them to apologize!
Understandably, though, she refused to do that and ended up going to stay with her mother.
But, her husband will not stop calling her behavior ungrateful and spiteful. So, she has been left wondering if leaving her baby shower was the wrong way to handle her mother-in-law’s unacceptable behavior.
If your mother-in-law embarrassed you like that, would you have left, too? Why do you think her husband is not standing up for her? How would you move forward with this situation?
