    Font - V r/AmItheAsshole - Posted by u/throwaway6779770 7 hours ago 2 7 e5 2 AITA for walking out of the babyshower my InLaws threw for me? The situation is kind of a mess. I (f27) am expecting my first baby with my husband. This is the first grandchild in the family (InLaws) and they said that if the baby's a boy then we'll give him my father InLaw's name (he's dead due to cancer). I had no problem with that. This happened before we found out the gender of the baby - my husband and his family h

    Font - Dr appoitment came, and it turned out to be a girl. My husband cried in the car then turned his phone off to hide from his family then finally told them. His mom and the others made their frustration & disapppintment clear which bothered me cause my daughter deserves to be celebrated but, they ghosted me for days then started coming over & visiting constantly referring to my daughter as my son claiming the results were false and basically pretending it's a boy. I had severa fights with th

    Font - Sister InLaw called to apologize then inform me she arranged for a babyshower for me. I was so excited and happy. But when I arrived I saw blue balloons, blue cake with Father InLaw's name/decorations around. I was so confused I had to sit down. Sister InLaw explained they were "still" hoping the gender results are false and it's a boy. I looked at my husband and he agreed with her. I lost my temper and yelled at them all calling them delusionals and telling them to stop treating my daugh

    Font - They started yelling and my husband followed me outside and started arguing about how I insulted his family, and his dads memory by acting like that. I told him to wake up and see the insanity in his family's behavior. He said they needed time to process the fact that it's a girl not a boy as they expected and insisted I play along and "they'll soon get over it". I said absolutely not and demanded he take me home, he said no so I called an Uber and left. He was fuming he called 15 times,

Time to take a nice hard look at how your life between now and when you die will be and what your daughters life will be like and make some hard decisions. NTA

This is totally sick and you are totally spot on. The way your husband is feeding into this madness raises all sorts of red flags in me. I can see this family ignoring your daughter when she gets here and making her feel like she's not enough because she is an a boy. I have seen that happen and it's sick.

    Font - zelonhusk · 6 hr. ago · edited 6 hr. ago Partassipant [1] NTA But let's be clear. It is evident you are very good at ignoring red flags: They told you what to name your kid and you were fine with it? They made you practice all sorts of rituals and you just went along? Girl, you need to set your boundaries.

    Rectangle - llamadrama2021 · 6 hr. ago YTA if you stay married to this jerk. As a woman, you know how hard it is in this world. And already her DAD and your inlaws hate her just for being a girl. Love her and yourself enough to walk away. NTA for leaving the shower, but you need to leave this relationship.

    Font - Proud_Drawing5898 - 6 hr. ago · edited 6 hr. ago NTA please tell me you're thinking about leaving this man. You can NEVER have more children with this man especially a son the favoritism will be through the roof. Please go stay with family or friends and tell them what's happening. This family is UNSTABLE ! Also you can also get a prenatal test that test the dna to prove once and for all it's a girl, it sucks that these people can be happy with any grandchild. It sounds like there were se

    Font - Sublixxx · 6 hr. ago Asshole Aficionado [19] Dude NTA. Document all of this psychotic shit because if they're acting like this now imagine how bad it's going to get when your daughter is born. I would cut contact over this psycho behavior. They're going to pressure you into trying to have a boy asap. Husband gonna turn into Henry VIII real quick.
