Here we go, folks…
It’s another story from Reddit about a mother-in-law who just can’t seem to keep her nose out of the business of her kids…
And this one has a bit of a twist to it!
Check it out below and see if you think this woman acted like a jerk!
AITA for “lying” to my MIL about the gender of our baby after she promised to keep it a secret?
“I didn’t really want a gender reveal party but my husband’s family made a big deal about it so I agreed.
Her MIL seems like a handful.
My mother-in-law was convinced that I knew the gender and insisted I tell her. I totally didn’t and I told her that fact.
She wore me down after a month of bothering me about it. She begged me and promised that she wouldn’t tell anyone. This was all in texts. I told her it was a girl.
I figured it was a 50/50 chance and it would get he off my back.
Well she lied.
Well, this is awkward…
When we cut the cake to reveal a blue inside there was a really awkward silence. She had told literally all of the guests from her side of the family so they could bring appropriate gifts.
My friends and family quickly gathered around to congratulate is on our son.
Her MIL was not happy.
She came over and hissed at me that I made her look stupid. I reminded her that she had PROMISED not to tell anyone.
She said she had never promised so I showed her our text conversation. Some of he family were right there when I did that so they heard her admit that she lied and had never intended to keep that promise.
She said that it was a jerk move and that I only did it to embarrass her. I again reminded her that o had told her on multiple occasions that I did not know the gender.
My husband wants me to apologize to keep the peace. I probably will but I don’t think I was an ******* like she seems to think.”
Here’s how people reacted on Reddit.
This person made a good point…
Another individual said her husband needs to apologize.
This reader said they both owe her an apology.
One reader said she’s NTA and explained why.
And this reader nailed it!
Jeez, learn how to mind your own business…
Some people, I tell ya…
