A woman says that her family still brings up the birth of her child 10 years later – because she kicked her mother out of the delivery room during the ‘terrible, scary experience’.
In a Reddit post, the anonymous woman writes: “It is 10 years ago that this happened, but my family still brings it up and tries to make me feel bad about it.”
She further explains that she was on delivery for 21 hours when doctors found that they would need a C-Section.

“Without modern medicine, I would have died on the birth table. I had extreme pain and making sounds that sounded inhumane,” she writes. “Birth was a terrible, scary experience.”
She continues: “My mother was in the delivery room with me and she would not keep his mouth shut. She constantly gave me unwanted advice and useless instructions. I asked her to stop talking, but she just couldn’t help it.”
“I got tough with her because I was giving birth, and her answer was:” You are not the only person in the hospital who gave the birth today, “followed with” your sister did not act so when she gave birth. ” ”
After those comments, the woman decided that she ‘had enough’.

“I asked the nurses to remove my mother from the room. I think she immediately came to the phone and cried around our whole family,” she writes.
In the 10 years since then, the woman writes that she “repeatedly reminds how terrible it was for me to put on my mother … I had to hear about it again during a family dinner and I just can’t handle it anymore.”
Now the woman wants to know if she was in the first place, or if her family is wrong because she keeps raising it.
But Reddit commentators agree that the mother of the poster was the one in the wrong.
“It is she who should be ashamed of herself, not you,” writes one.
Another adds: “Your mother clearly did not help, but adding stress to the situation. She was not reassuring or supportive, but instead insulted and scolding … You did not earn the way she treated you, and she didn’t deserve to stay for the delivery. You made the right choice!”
