“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.
