'My mum had unfortunate reaction to gender reveal – it's ruined my pregnancy'

A woman was left devastated after she told her family she was expecting a baby boy, as her own mum was "visibly disappointed" – and told her it's a "shame" that she isn't having a girl

Adding to the emotional trauma, the pregnant woman's mum keeps on eyeing up girls' clothes in stores and making snide comments. Online commenters were outraged on behalf of the pregnant woman, urging her to confront her mother about her feelings and suggesting she should "distance" herself if the behaviour continues. A third person commented on the deeper issue: "This is a classic example of parents projecting through their children and maybe she is nostalgic and thought she'd have another little you to relive those days but she's also being super rude and inconsiderate."
