Mom-to-be Claps Back at MIL’s Outrageous Comment

What happens when a mom-to-be is tired of her mother-in-law’s (MIL) constant pressure to have a boy? Sparks fly! This woman and her husband have three daughters and another girl on the way. They’re not trying for a boy; they just wanted a big family. But the MIL, let’s call her Janet, has other ideas. She’s obsessed with the family tradition of having a male heir to carry on the legacy. When the couple decides that they’re satisfied with four girls and the husband gets a vasectomy, Janet goes ballistic. But the real drama unfolds at the baby shower…

But the rest of the family wasn’t so understanding, accusing her of humiliating Janet. Now, they’re considering limited contact with the MIL for their youngest daughter’s sake. What do you think? Was she too harsh, or was it about time someone put Janet in her place? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
