Imagine expecting your first child, only to have your mother-in-law (MIL) constantly refer to the baby as ‘her’ baby. That’s exactly what happened to this mom-to-be, who moved closer to her husband’s family after cutting ties with her own. When her MIL insisted on throwing a baby shower for her friends, the mom-to-be reluctantly agreed. But things took a bizarre turn when the MIL revealed the true purpose of the baby shower.

This mom-to-be was in for a shock when her MIL threw a baby shower for herself instead of her. The shower’s circus animal theme and off-registry gifts left the couple baffled, and things escalated when the MIL revealed her plan to decorate a nursery at her own house. The mom-to-be lost her cool and told her MIL she wouldn’t be seeing her baby, while the husband called his mom delusional. Now, the family is bombarding them with messages, calling them selfish and ungrateful. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this wild situation…
