SIL steals spotlight at your party with surprise pregnancy announcement

The hill people choose to die on is fascinating. ESH

ESH grammar & spelling aside, it’s true that her & her husband were being wildly inappropriate to announce this there, but in a sense you did ruin the party. Guarenteed, his side of the family is not going to automatically side with you & you put them all in the position to choose a side in that moment. Probably would’ve been best to confront them after the party.
