A new baby is a jolly thing, and their coming into the world gives you an amazing feeling. However, not one you imagine being watched by your brother-in-law. One mother was left puzzled by her husband’s demand that his sibling should be a part of the child-birth process because he is a medical student.

She took on Reddit to ask for other people’s points of view on how to respond to his husband’s out-of-the-blue request- which many agreed was illogical. She told the readers that she was currently 31 weeks with twins, a boy, and a girl. Her husband and she were both 21, and they were trying for a baby about a year before they finally fell pregnant.

She claimed that she faced a lot of difficulties throughout her pregnancy, and as her brother-in-law was a medical student, he had taken quite a lot of interest in her pregnancy and future delivery. Both of them shared a decent bond. He was 24 years old. The mother had known the husband's side of the family since they were children so they had pretty much grown up together.

A few days ago, her hubby told her that her brother-in-law had expressed his curiosity in being there whilst she gave birth, mainly due to it being helpful from an educational standpoint to see natural multiples birth, which was what she had planned for. She was very firm in her decision of not letting him be in the room she was giving birth in. She was not even overly eager on allowing her husband to watch her go through that, let alone his brother.

The husband did not agree with her and said that it would be a good experience for him and his degree. The mother replied to him by saying that as much as she supported him, her experience of having a pleasant birth was of greater importance. He got defensive and said that as much as she needed someone to have her back, he also needed to have a support person. The woman said that she understood his situation as well, but she really just didn't feel uncomfortable about it all.

One person commented that he was so angry with her. The commentator said that he didn't want to overstep, but if she was his real-life bestie, he would be asking if that was really the type of person she would want to spend the rest of her life with. Another joked by saying that she should ask him if he was willing to get naked, lay on the dining room table, grab his ankles, and let her dad stare at his private parts for an hour. Maybe then he would realize that what he was asking was unreasonable.

The people on Reddit supported her by saying that birth was hard enough and she should not let him bully her into this.
