This mother-in-law wanted to be the main character in the delivery room, but despite her scheming, she could never escape the shadow of this young woman’s real hero: her mom. 

After attempting to sabotage the birth plan of her son and DIL’s 3rd child, this mother-in-law found herself ostracized, paying in spades as a consequence of her selfish ways. She tried to cut out the other side of the family from the labor and delivery room, but ended up an outsider herself. 

Never get in the way of a pregnant woman and her emotional support person. 

Going into labor can make any woman lose their marbles a little, but when things don’t go according to plan, all because of the selfish intent of your mother-in-law, that’s going to make her head spin. Driving a hefty wedge in the family relationships, this mother-in-law decided she was above her daughter-in-law’s wishes and nearly denied her the one person she wanted present: her mom.
