He Completely Cut Off His Parents For Treating His Pregnant Wife Horribly And Being Really Pushy About Their Baby
It’s incredibly infuriating when your parents don’t like someone you’ve been dating for petty reasons. Usually, when parents try to sway you from being with someone, they have a good reason.
But what happens when your parents refuse to like someone you married?
One man recently cut off his parents because they’ve been treating his wife horribly and have gotten worse since she got pregnant.
He’s 32, and his wife is 33. She is currently four months pregnant with their first child.
Unfortunately, for the last eight years, since he’s been with his wife, his parents have become quite unbearable to be around, and he had to start distancing himself.
“My mom is weirdly obsessed with hating my wife like she wishes she was married to me or something,” he said.
“My dad is just the type of guy to take my mom’s side on everything, whether she’s right or not. He’s also just straight up [rude].”
When he first met his wife when he was in his mid-20s, his parents hated her, acting extremely cold and rude toward her.
Now, his wife is carrying their future grandchild, and he hoped they would start acting warmer towards her now that they’re growing their family. However, that’s not the case. Ever since he and his wife announced her pregnancy a month ago, his parents have become super “pushy” and controlling regarding baby logistics.

For instance, they made a fuss when he and his wife revealed what they wanted to name their baby. They explained that if they had a girl, they’d name her after his wife’s late mom, who died a year ago. If they have a boy, his middle name would be her mom’s middle name, as it’s gender-neutral.
He knows how important it is for his wife to honor her mom this way and thinks the names would be beautiful.
His parents, however, are less than thrilled with them.
“My parents had to make a big deal that they don’t get a say,” he explained.
“My dad even said, ‘It’s our son’s baby; she’s just carrying it.‘ That [ticked] me off because it’s her baby she’s carrying, too. I told them to give it a rest [but] my mom spent the entire night trying to guilt us into adding her name or my dad’s.”
Then, a few days later, his parents told him they were going to be in the delivery room when the baby was born, and he told them absolutely not since his wife made it clear she only wanted him in the room with her.
His mom became furious, and his dad said it was “selfish” of his wife not to allow their baby’s grandparents to be present for its birth. His dad also accused his wife of behaving as if she was the “first woman to give birth.”
By the end of this conversation, he was incredibly angry and decided to put his foot down.
“I told them to leave and not come back until they want to respect my wife,” he recalled.
“I kicked them out, and they are not able to contact us, as I blocked them from everything. I sent a message telling them not to contact her, not to step foot on my property, and to stay away from the hospital when the time comes.”
If and when his parents decide to behave more respectfully, he’ll slowly allow them back into his life. But for right now, he doesn’t need them around to stress out his wife. His wife has always dreamed of becoming a mother, and he wants the experience of having her first child to be as joyful as possible.
His brother recently contacted him and said he went too far by cutting contact with their parents, but he felt it was necessary.
Did he go too far by cutting off his parents, or was it a good idea?
