Christmas is supposed to be a time for love, joy, and family togetherness, but sometimes things don’t go as planned. A man and his wife recently found themselves in the middle of a family feud after announcing their pregnancy during a Christmas gathering. The conflict arises from the fact that the man’s sister-in-law has suffered from multiple miscarriages and struggles with infertility. The couple tried to be sensitive to her feelings, but their decision to reveal their pregnancy news at the holiday gathering has left the family divided.
