A WOMAN was left fuming after her sister announced she was expecting a baby without her permission.
In a post on Reddit, the 26-year-old claimed she physically couldn’t deal with the stress that came with telling her family.
“I am pregnant with my boyfriend’s child. We aren’t married yet, but we will probably get married after the baby is born,” she began.
“My parents are very judgmental about having a baby out of wedlock. This makes me really nervous to tell them that I’m pregnant and unmarried.
“On top of that, my family has a history of delivering babies who do not survive.
“Besides being really anxious about my baby’s survival, having them attack me would cause me even more stress.
“Given those two factors, I decided to just not tell my parents and three siblings that I am pregnant.
“They live on the other side of the country, and our only interaction is on the phone or by zoom, so it’s not exactly hard to hide the pregnancy.”

“If the baby survives and is healthy, I was planning to tell them. If not, I might not have told them,” she wrote.
“In another complicated story, my sister ended up coming to visit due to a delayed flight, so she came to my place to surprise me.
“She saw that I was obviously pregnant and freaked out.
“She called me a lying w***e and proceeded to call my parents to tell them I was pregnant.
“They all told me I was a major a**hole and that there was no justification for my actions.
“As I predicted, my parents also lectured me about having a baby out of wedlock and how I should have saved sex for marriage and this pregnancy is a punishment.
“On top of that, they were upset I hid their grandchild from them which caused them pain.
“I cried the whole time and tried hanging up but they kept calling me.
“The whole situation is just terrible, and I sort of feel like an a**hole.”
After she had vented, many took to the comment section to wonder why exactly her family was upset: was it because she was pregnant while unmarried or because she had hidden it?
One person wrote: “They’re just using random justifications for their hate.
“Either the pregnancy is a punishment and they want nothing to do with you and the child, or they’re excited to meet their grandchild.
“You can’t have it both ways.”
Others suggested she be more concerned about her own health.
“For your own personal health, please consider keeping low or having no contact with them,” said a second.
