If you could not have guessed, though, her cousin did not like hearing that one bit. First, she actually got accused of being “horrible,” as did her family. Then, she got told that she and her family deserved each other, and her cousin claimed that unless they fully supported the pregnancy, they would all be cut off! And finally, she even got kicked out of her cousin’s apartment.
So now, she has some pretty mixed feelings about the entire incident. On the one hand, she feels like she gave her cousin a sort of wake-up call and a reality check about what she is about to deal with.
On the other hand, though, she remembers how overwhelming it was to be pregnant herself and also feels bad that her cousin did not get any joyful reactions or offerings of support.
“Especially because in the past, other family members have gotten very happy family reactions when sharing their pregnancies,” she added.
In turn, she has been left wondering if agreeing with her family’s perspective and trying to give her cousin a dose of reality was actually necessary or if it just made her a jerk.
What do you think about her cousin’s current perspective on the triplets? Is it important to think about the practical and financial implications of having children, even if you are excited? Did she do the right thing by trying to give her cousin a wake-up call? If you had been in her shoes, what would you have done?
