A woman is fuming after her mother-in-law announced her own child’s birth while she was still in the hospital.
In a post shared to Reddit, she writes that her birth was “rough” and that her child “had to be taken to the NICU due to her having a brain condition and then making sure she was stable.” As she had high blood pressure, she was placed on bed rest and couldn’t immediately go to the NICU to see the child.
But her mother-in-law did go to the NICU, taking “multiple pictures and photos of her hooked up to the IVs and CPAP machine.”
The mother-in-law then “immediately posted and announced everything about my baby and how she’s in the NICU and ‘mama and baby are doing just fine.’ “
“It upset me greatly because before I even got the chance to see my baby, hold her, or make MY announcement she already told the whole world about it,” she continues.

The woman adds that her engagement went similarly, with her mother-in-law posting about it before she could tell her own family and friends: “It was a surprise and she recorded the entire thing. She immediately posted before I could tell anyone.”
“I got upset and she always says she just ‘gets so excited’ and ‘can’t wait to share.’ I’m fed up,” she adds.

Others suggest the woman limit her interaction with her in-laws or force her to face consequences for sharing things on social media when she’s specifically been asked not to.
