MIL Loses Chance to Meet Baby
So, our protagonist’s MIL has a sister with some serious issues, including a history of alcoholism and anger problems. The baby isn’t allowed around the aunt, and MIL has uninvited the family from all future holidays. Our protagonist tries to talk to MIL about this, but ends up getting screamed at to “shut up about your f***ing baby.” That’s when they decide MIL doesn’t deserve to meet the baby. But when MIL finally has time to meet her granddaughter, our protagonist stands their ground, refusing to let her meet the baby. MIL then claims that if they want a good relationship, they need to adjust their expectations. But it seems like MIL might not even want to meet the baby after all… Let’s dive into the internet’s reactions to this wild family drama!
