This expecting mom was thrilled to celebrate her second pregnancy with a gender reveal that confirmed they were having a baby girl. But the joy dimmed quickly when her parents’ visibly disappointed reaction to the pink cake didn’t go unnoticed.
Her husband, already aware of her history of being overshadowed by her brothers, immediately bristled at what he saw.
What followed was a sarcastic comment, a tense exchange, and a fight she never stepped into.
AITA for not saying anything to my husband?
My husband and I are having a second child.
We had a gender reveal and were over the moon when we found out we are having a girl this time.
So exciting!
My parents looked clearly disappointed when they saw the pink cake.
My husband has heard a lot of stories about my parents favoring my brothers over me so he is very sensitive about that. He asked my parents if they have a problem and they said no, it’s ok.
Hmmm…
He sarcastically said “oh im so glad you are ok with this…”
It caused a fight and my parents said that they didn’t say anything and didn’t deserve to be attacked like this and think I’m an a****** for not saying anything to my husband.
So she’s turning to Reddit to decide whether staying quiet made her complicit… or simply spared the situation from getting worse.
This person says NTA, *but*…
This person says actually there was no need to say anything.
And this person says to just keep her eyes open and peeled.
Sometimes silence isn’t approval.
