Her Mother-In-Law Brought Up A DNA Test For Her Baby, So She’s Banned From The Delivery Room
Labor is intense enough without having to defend your integrity in the delivery room. But instead of support, this 28-year-old woman is fielding accusations, disguised as “jokes,” from her mother-in-law, who’s spent months hinting that the baby might not even be her son’s.
Now, as she prepares to give birth, she’s drawing a firm line. Her husband wants peace. She wants respect. And in this moment, she’s done negotiating.
She is actually in labor as we speak, and she’s furious with something her mother-in-law did to her.
While her 30-year-old husband is technically on her side, he is stuck between her and his own mom now. For the last couple of months, her mother-in-law has been making nasty jokes about how her unborn baby was probably fathered by a man other than her husband.
She has never once cheated on her husband or given her mother-in-law reasons to think she’s less than faithful, but that hasn’t stopped this woman.
“…She keeps dropping comments like, ‘Well, we’ll see who he looks like!’ or ‘There’s always a chance!’ She even once laughed and said, ‘You know, women lie about paternity all the time,'” she explained.
“I told my husband I was uncomfortable, and he did talk to her, but she brushed it off as ‘just teasing.’ I started distancing myself, but now that I’m in labor, she showed up at the hospital demanding to be let in the room ‘because she was there when all her other grandkids were born.'”
“I told the nurses no. She’s not coming in. I don’t want that energy near me or my baby. She started crying and called me petty. She told my husband I’m punishing her for a joke and that I’m ‘keeping her grandson from her.'”
Oh, and her mother-in-law did literally say her baby is not ‘real family’ until a DNA test is performed to prove paternity.
