Calling Mama Boy AITA She Called Her Brother A “Mama’s Boy” After He Agreed That Mom Could Be In The Delivery Room. Was She Wrong?

I’m always fascinated when parents have such a weird mind control on adult children. It’s like…. what happened to you?

And look, most of us love our moms… but to this point?

Today’s story from Reddit’s “Am I the A**hole?” concerns a guy who simply can’t say no to his mom… so his sister says what all of us are thinking.

Let’s get to it!

AITA for calling my brother a mama’s boy and refusing to apologize for ruining his birthday?

“My f29 brother m26 and his wife f24 live at my mom’s house. Mom tends to get involved in their marriage constantly and my brother lets her. Sil always complains about mom steamrolling her decisions and violating her privacy.

When Sil got pregnant mom got worse, she went out a brought a whole nursery and put it in her room despite Sil having one in her room. Their most recent conflict is about mom pushing to be in the delivery room and Sil saying no, my brother not only is siding with mom but he’s making promises to her to keep her happy.

Last week we were gathered at mom’s house for my brother’s birthday, his friends came and asked why Sil wasn’t at dinner table. My brother nonchalantly said that she was just being a princess, acting spoiled and immature over everything. I was shocked and hurt on her behalf, so I responded “actually…she’s probably just upset now that she’s realized that you’re a grade a mama’s boy ready to do whatever mom says while ignoring your wife’s wishes”.

Brief silence while his friends stared, he started arguing about how disrespectful I was, he told my husband to say something and my husband just said ” don’t mind me…I’m just a bystander–sitter”. Dinner got awkward and my brothers friends left early. He went off on me saying I embarrassed him before friends and ruined his birthday dinner. I decided to go home cause he kept yelling. Mom then called demanding I apologize for the rude things I said at dinner but I refused.

AITA for this?”

And here’s how Reddit users reacted.

One reader said that somebody had to stick up for the SIL.

Yeah, whoever is having the baby gets to set the rules on this one.

No mom in the delivery room.

Period.
