Colonoscopy for a Delivery Room Ticket?
Our heroine is at her wit’s end with her pushy mother-in-law, who’s desperate to be in the delivery room for the birth of her grandchild. Her husband, usually supportive, is starting to cave under the emotional pressure. So, she proposes a deal: if her father can witness her husband’s colonoscopy, then his mom can be in the delivery room. Her husband thinks she’s being ridiculous, but eventually gets the point. However, his mom is not amused. Our protagonist even offers to watch her mother-in-law get a Brazilian wax instead, but she’s met with radio silence. Now, she’s left wondering if she’s in the wrong for her unconventional approach. Let’s see what the internet has to say about this situation…
