This new mom tried to lighten the mood with a joke about her baby not being hers, but her in-laws didn’t find it funny at all. Instead, they got upset and accused her of insinuating the baby wasn’t her husband’s or that they weren’t her real family. The mother-in-law even went as far as fake crying to the husband about how ‘mean’ the mom was. But was the joke really that bad, or did the in-laws just need to lighten up?
