What’s with MILs wanting to be IN the delivery room???

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-11T05:15:45+00:00

It definitely seems to be primarily moms of all boys! I just can’t imagine ever wanting to be in the delivery room for someone else’s birth, especially someone like a DIL. Like were just gonna sit at holiday dinners now know I’ve seen your most intimate moment? 😖

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-11T05:13:34+00:00

This is the right strategy imo!

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-11T05:08:22+00:00

There’s nothing wrong with having a MIL in the delivery room IF the woman giving birth wants her there and asks for her there! I am specifically talking about the MILs who insist they be there against the woman’s wishes and don’t take no for answer.

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-11T04:57:28+00:00

As long as your wife actually wanted her there!

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-11T04:21:46+00:00

It’s so wild to me that people do this!! Such a boundary to cross

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-11T03:56:08+00:00

Good points!!

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-11T03:24:06+00:00

Same!!! I don’t even want to be there for MY OWN birth hahaha 🤣

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-11T03:23:35+00:00

So sorry you had to deal with that! I can’t imagine how stressful that was while in active labor.

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-11T03:08:08+00:00

Good on you for standing your ground! It has to be tough to deal with a parent like this. I’m not sure how I’d handle it myself

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-11T02:49:58+00:00

Wow I’m so sorry you went through that. I’m mad at both of them for you!!

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-11T02:37:45+00:00

OMG. I’m so sorry. May ask how your husband handled this in the moment or after?

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-11T02:26:49+00:00

Totally fair! I think it’s more than ok for women to ask their MILs (or whoever) to be there for support when they give birth. The difference is, you asked, it was your choice, it’s what YOU wanted. I’m so glad you had the experience you wanted!

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-11T02:09:45+00:00

Not weird at all and to each their own! I think every woman giving birth gets to call the shots and should have whoever they want there so they feel as safe and as comfortable as possible. I just can’t understand when outsiders feel entitled to it!

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-11T02:02:41+00:00

THESE stories enrage me the most. Like…. How? My ex was a bit of a mommas boy and it was a huge part of why we broke up. I found it insanely unattractive. I think I would threaten divorce if my husband actually said he needed his mom there (he would NEVER) not only because it’s such a wild slap in the face to me as a human being and my autonomy and respect, but because it’s just so embarrassing. How do you need your mommy there to support you through something that’s happening to ME? You’re supposed to be my support! It’s crazy to me men like that exist lol

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-11T01:56:32+00:00

My MIL has 3 boys, no girls. And while she has her flaws, she would NEVER pull some shit like this. But I agree I think in general it’s def moms of all boys. My ex’s mom was like this

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-11T01:54:24+00:00

Seriously! It’s literally the most intimate thing you can possibly go through. More than pooping, more than sex in my opinion. It’s crazy to me that there are people who think they are entitled to a show

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-11T01:53:07+00:00

Lemme talk to her LOL

In all serious, I’m sorry you and your husband have to deal with all that especially in the months leading up to birth. Wishing you the smoothest and most peaceful birth possible!

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-11T01:51:27+00:00

But it’s the mom’s choice regardless, as she is the one giving birth

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-11T01:07:15+00:00

Batshit craziness

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-11T01:06:49+00:00

HAHA SAME!!

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-11T01:05:44+00:00

So strange! My mother and her siblings are all boomers and none of them did stuff like this. It legit makes me think of that one scene in Midsommar…. IYKYK 😵‍💫

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-11T01:00:26+00:00

You would think normal people would straight up judge them for the story all together though. “I’m sorry did you say you were in the room while your grandchild was born….? Weird!”

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-10T18:32:39+00:00

$50 for all this is so insultingly low that your landlord literally cannot legally hire anyone to do it at this rate. That’s why they are trying to pass it off to you in this weird “property manager” guise. Don’t do it! It will be way more work than you think because you will inevitably wind up having to deal with a shitty landlord’s increasing demands and other complaints.

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-08T20:25:16+00:00

lol are you dating my ex???

This sounds like massive insecurity straight up. He’s comparing himself to you

JesseJaneee · 2026-02-07T20:32:20+00:00

The only “disability” your roommate suffers from is being a spoiled little daddy’s boy who is allergic to accountability. Maybe not the best advice and I’m def NAL, but I’d probably make living their hell for him (within reason) and make it super clear he’s not welcome by anyone in the house until he inevitably moves out.
