Mother-in-law blames woman for having a daughter, demands a son

A woman shares her experience on Reddit of being blamed by her mother-in-law for having a daughter instead of a son. Despite her attempts to explain that the gender of their child was beyond her control, the mother-in-law insists that she should try harder for a boy next time. This causes tension between the couple, with the husband defending his wife but also feeling uncomfortable with the way she spoke to his mother.

The woman is left wondering if she should apologize for her reaction, even though she was insulted by her mother-in-law’s comments. The situation raises questions about gender expectations within families and the pressure to have a certain gender of child.

The comments and reactions to the post reveal the different ways in which people have dealt with similar situations, offering support and advice to the woman. It also highlights the importance of setting boundaries and standing up for oneself in difficult family situations.
