‘Switch the babies to achieve perfect gender balance!’: MIL’s Demand Following the Birth of Two Sets of Twins Leads to SIL Limiting Free Access to Twin Boys

Everybody yearns for that one person who will stand by them no matter what, in good times or bad. It might be a father or a lover for some people, or it might be a twin who has been there from day one for others.

The story below is an account of a frustrated son-in-law.  The original poster (OP) and his spouse recently announced the arrival of their twin sons. Not long after the couple's twins were born, OP's sister-in-law unexpectedly gave birth to twin daughters.  At first, everything was going quite nicely, or as smoothly as can be with two newborns to look after. However, when OP's mother-in-law started advocating for the notion of switching children so that each sibling could have a boy and a girl, things took an unexpected turn.

That being said, if you're curious about what transpired and what ultimately prompted OP to post a plea for support and advice on Reddit, make sure to read the story that follows! Also, be sure to check out the employer's story of the babysitter who disrupted their meeting because they broke their contract and left her at the beach with the kids after you've finished reading!
