Man Decides To Take Sides With His Pregnant Wife Over His Mom

Another drama worth sharing on the subreddit r/AmIthe*sshole that got us surprised.
So, OP's got a pregnant wife who's not having an easy time. Mom's birthday is around the corner, and she wants to go to a seafood place. Problem is, it's far away, and the wife can't handle long car rides and can't eat much on the menu.

OP tries to explain this to Mom and suggests picking a closer place with a different type of food. Mom isn't having it, insists on seafood, and says the pregnant wife can just stay home. OP tries to reason, but Mom gets upset, saying it's her birthday and not about the wife.

OP stands his ground, saying the wife comes first, and now the whole family is mad at OP. It's a birthday dinner dilemma with some family drama thrown in.
