Some jokes are not funny, and this story is a prime example of that!
Have you ever said something that was meant to be funny, but then it realized it was actually insensitive?
That’s what happens in this story, when one sister makes a joke that the other sister does not find funny at all.
Check out the full story!
AITA for making a joke about me being overweight?
Last thanksgiving, I (19f) made a joke saying I looked pregnant after eating too much since I was bloated.
I made this joke in front of my sister (34f), not thinking anything of it.
My sister got her son taken away 12 years ago, and has since had to have a hysterectomy for medical reasons.
The joke wasn’t funny to her sister.
Because of her felonies, she’s not allowed to adopt, so she has no chance of being a mother.
Tensions are high during Thanksgiving, especially in the South, so I apologized and went about my holiday, because it was rather insensitive.
However, this February, I was involved in a car accident that rendered me incapable of pregnancy.
Now, she knows how her sister feels.
While a child is NOT something I need right now considering my school, finances, age, etc, I am very sad that later on when I may want one, I will not be able to as I have felonies as well.
I’ve been struggling with PTSD from the accident and have been in very intense therapy, but I reached out to my sister for extra support since she’s been in a similar situation.
That sounds so mean!
After explaining how I feel, all she said was “You kind of know how it feels then LOL.”
A child isn’t something I want, but the injury was serious and I’m still recovering, so hearing that made me feel selfish for even reaching out for help.
I’m not sure if I should give her more grace considering her son turned 15 yesterday so she may just be going through a hard time or if I should feel a little aggravated that she made my trauma about herself.
GEEZ! That sounds rough!
