He Disowned His Oldest Sister After She Didn’t Tell Him That She Had COVID-19 And Caused Him To Miss The Birth Of His Son And The Near Death Of His Wife During Childbirth
This 27-year-old man’s sister, 45, is, sadly, deeply self-centered, conceited, and has a terrible habit of compulsively lying.
His sister has three children, yet, in his opinion, she acts like she’s still 21 years old.
While he was still living at home, his parents were the ones who took care of his sister’s children the vast majority of the time.
Sometimes, his sister would ask his parents if they could take care of her children for several hours so that she could do some work. But she would turn around and go on a four-day trip out of the state. She was able to get away with this behavior because their parents never turned her down, and she was well aware of it. His sister sadly took full advantage of his parents’ kindness.
In the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, his wife was pregnant.
He is the first one to get married in his family (besides his parents).
“At first, my wife didn’t want to have kids. But after much time together, she decided we should have one, and I was so happy to hear that. Hence, her being pregnant is such a big deal. My family knew how opposed she was to having a child at first,” he said.
This was going to be the only child he and his wife planned to have together.
They ultimately scheduled their baby shower for later in his wife’s pregnancy, around the holidays. That way, the family that was traveling from out of the state would only have to make the trip once.

His sister didn’t attend their baby shower because she was invited to a concert at the last minute. He didn’t mind that she wasn’t at the shower because he was apathetic about his sister at this point.
Unfortunately, his sister contracted COVID-19 at the concert.
However, she lied to him and claimed that her test results were negative. She said that she only had a cold.
Over the holidays, since she knew that she had COVID-19, she didn’t attend the family gathering.
“But she knew her youngest son also had Covid and decided to still have him come to the holiday to ‘not miss the experience.’ Without telling any of us that he had Covid. So, the whole time he was there, he looked miserable. I took it as he is the youngest there, with mostly adults. And spent time with him, playing ping pong and other activities he wanted to do. Fast forward a few days later, and I started feeling ill. Turns out, I got Covid from him. And forced to quarantine for two weeks,” he explained.
One week into his quarantine, his wife came home from work, and she told him that her water had broken.
His wife continued, informing him that she’d called her sister already so that she could pick her up and bring her to the hospital.
Since he worked for the hospital where his wife was delivering their baby, they already knew that he had Covid and was currently in quarantine.
“Fast forward a bit, and my wife had to get an emergency C-section. The umbilical cord was wrapped around my son’s neck. Luckily, he was safe and came out super healthy. But my wife ended up hemorrhaging, and they weren’t sure she was going to make it. Again, luckily, she did. My family keeps pestering me, saying that I need to be the bigger man and forgive my sister,” he shared.
His family members have also reminded him that his sister always behaves irresponsibly. He wants to disown his sister and cut off contact with her, but the rest of his family doesn’t want him to do this because they’re concerned that this will cause a lot of tension.
In response to their opinions, he said that if she had said she was sorry, he would have considered forgiving her.
But instead of apologizing, his sister texted him to say that she didn’t understand why he was angry for her wanting to allow her son to participate in the holiday family gathering.
His sister added that as a new father, he should know what it feels like as a parent to want his child to have those experiences and not miss out.
Now, he feels relieved that his sister isn’t present in his life anymore. But his family has continued badgering him, begging him to move on. Because of their perspective, he wonders if he did the right thing.
Do you think he did the right thing by disowning his sister?
