MIL Turned Her And Daughter In Law’s Pregnancy Into An Ugly Competition

Relationships July, 14, 2025

The lady is much younger to her father-in-law and is highly competitive, so much so that she even organized her baby shower the same day, the user was scheduled to have one, and of course, it could not be a mistake or coincidence. Ever since her husband’s father tied the knot with this woman, that is, some four years ago, the couple had tried to ignore the fact that the new woman in the old man’s life was younger than both of them. A few months earlier they discovered that they were pregnant, however, it was not planned and yet they were elated.

Soon they broke the news to all their near and dear ones, minus the cheesy gifts and all, this news sharing was done with the FIL as well but his response was entirely un-thought of, the man did not bother congratulating the couple before breaking the news of him becoming a father all over again. And ever since then the woman has to be a part of a competition she has no interest in. From expensive 4D ultrasounds to buying everything much higher in price and then boasting about it on social media, just minutes after the poster had done the same thing.

Next, the lady went onto talk about her baby shower, her MIL was well acquainted with the dates beforehand but at some unknown point, she decided to organize her own baby shower and that too the very day, the user was supposed to have one, in fact, she even created a big event about it and since the FIL is an affluent man, they have the best of everything.

The result? Her husband’s family is torn between this and that, and her husband wants to cancel the baby shower since according to him, his father was not half as happy as he is now when he was born. The two never shared a great bond.

The pregnancy alone is very tough but to add salt to her burns, the MIL has stooped extremely low and of course, we all know that this is not stopping even after the birth of the babies. Many readers suggested that she cut-off from her in-laws quick to which she replied that the damage has already been done, she will most probably block her mother in law and that her father in law is not a very social media-friendly person, and even if she cuts-off all ties, her husband wouldn’t let it go-he is deeply hurt!

Maybe for now she should focus on her husband and their upcoming bundle of joy, and let us all hope things get better real quick for her.
