Home Birth MELTDOWN: Sister’s Shocking Refusal Divides Family ‍ ‍ ‍

Buckle up, folks! We’ve got a juicy family drama brewing. My sister’s about to pop out a baby and wants the whole fam there for the big show. But here’s the thing – I’m not sure I can handle all the blood, sweat, and tears. I mean, have you SEEN a birth video? Traumatizing stuff. Now sis is p*ssed that I’m ruining her perfect labor plan. Mom’s not happy with me either. I feel guilty AF, but also… boundaries, right? ‍♀️

Family Feud: To Birth or Not to Birth?

Whew, talk about a sticky situation! On one hand, I totally get wanting to support my sis during this major life event. ❤️ But on the other hand, the thought of being front row for the bloody miracle of birth has me shook. I offered to help in other ways, like cooking and cleaning, but apparently that’s not good enough. ‍♀️ Now I’m feeling guilty for stressing out my very pregnant sister. But honestly, I think I’d be more of a liability than a help in the delivery room. I love my sis and my future niece/nephew, but I gotta draw the line somewhere, right? ‍♀️ Let’s see what the internet thinks of this family drama!
