AITA for being upset with my sister in law?
I’m in the last few weeks of my pregnancy, and my sister-in-law is upset that my husband can’t stay at her house for a week to take care of her after her cosmetic surgery.
Mind you, this isn’t the first time she’s had cosmetic work done. A few years ago, my husband was there to take care of her after she had her lypo done. He’s always been the type to put family first and goes above and beyond for everyone he loves—including me, our children, and his entire family. He’s never been someone who refuses to help.
But this time is different. We have a newborn arriving any day now. We both feel that his priority should be being home with me and our baby, especially since I could go into labor at any time or we’ll be adjusting to life with a newborn.
She also has other adult children and a boyfriend (they don’t live together, but they’re still together), so it’s not like my husband is her only possible source of help.
What has us completely dumbfounded is how angry she is that he won’t be there for her cosmetic surgery. We understand wanting support, but expecting my husband to leave me and newborn for an elective cosmetic procedure feels unreasonable to us.
Are we missing something here, or is it fair to think that your spouse and newborn should come before an elective cosmetic surgery?
