Mother Stands Up For Her Son After Years Of Coddling Her Infertile Sister

When a woman wants to have a baby more than anything, the worst news they can hear is that it’s not possible. The experience of having a miscarriage is something that many women go through, and the pain from it can take a while to heal.

One mother wants to know if she’s being too harsh toward her infertile sister after years of coddling her. The woman explains that her family tiptoed around the subject of children and refused to even mention babies around her in her presence.

While they were trying to consider her sister’s feelings and respect her, the rules seemed a bit extreme given that OP had her own children. Even this was hard for her sister to be around, and finally, she had enough of the way their family was handling all of this.
