'I was told that they can't help out with them unless it's one baby at time': Woman has triplets, in-laws claim it's too many kids for them to help, woman wants to keep them out of her kids' birthday party

We all know the old saying. "Two is company, three is a crowd." Three's an odd number, and if you're in a group of three, there's usually one who gets left out. And yet, there are so many iconic groups of threes. Peter, Paul, and Mary. Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Alvin, Simon, and Theo. You know the other thing they say about three? That it's the magic number.

So, why all this talk about three? Well, imagine you find out that you're about to give the greatest gift of all: the gift of life. You've got a bun in the oven, a baby on the way, and one day they tell you it's not just one baby, it's three! Triple the gift of life, you're having triplets. It's up to you now which way you slice it: is three company? Or is it all the more magical now with that mythic number?

One woman thought her triplets were the greatest gift she could ever receive. Her in-laws, however, didn't have the same reaction. When they opted out of helping out with childcare one too many times, this woman got skeptical of their real reasons. Read on to see how some family favoritism causes some real strife.
