Expecting Mom Upset As Mother-In-Law Plans Vacation On Her Due Date, Online Community Views It As A Positive Twist
Being pregnant is a mix of happy and tough moments. As a pregnant woman, all the changes can be a lot; she might be more sensitive, tearful, or easily irritated. So she needs support from family members. When she doesn't receive care, she can get hurt and feel a bit lonely. That is what happened to this pregnant woman (OP).
She shared on the r/JUSTNOMIL subreddit that this was when she got pregnant with her first baby. Although she had told her in-laws about her labor, they still booked a vacation at the same time she was going to give birth. Her husband didn't see the issue with the in-laws' timing. And that hurt her a lot. Scroll down to read the entire story!
