Her Sister Ridiculed Her Infertility, So Now That She’s Homeless, She’s Not Letting Her Sister Move In
There’s pain you carry in silence, and then there’s pain that gets laughed at across the dinner table. After years of trying to become a mother, she’s endured loss, expense, and heartbreak.
But nothing cut deeper than hearing her own sister mock her fertility struggles in front of their family, with a smirk, no less.
So when that same sister came asking for a place to stay, she said no. Now she’s being called cold. But after everything, she’s wondering, when someone makes a joke out of your deepest grief, do they really deserve your grace?
For the last seven years, this 34-year-old woman has been desperately trying to have a baby. She’s experienced one failed IVF cycle and three miscarriages.
She’s invested more than $30,000 pursuing her dream of being a mom, without success. She has a 29-year-old sister who just welcomed her second child into the world.
“I was genuinely happy for her, even threw her a baby shower. But during a recent family dinner, she ‘joked’ that I should stop trying and ‘just be the fun aunt’ because I was ‘basically barren,'” she explained.
“Everyone laughed. I didn’t. I got up and left. No scene. Just walked out. Fast forward a week later; her husband lost his job, and they’re being evicted.”
“She called to ask if she, her husband, and their two kids could stay in my guest room ‘for a few months.’ I calmly told her no, that I was still hurt by her comment and needed space.”
I mean, her sister only ridiculed her infertility in front of their loved ones, so why should she do her any favors?

However, her sister had the biggest smirk when she mocked her for not being able to have children, and she can’t get over it.
Do you think she’s wrong for not taking her sister in?
