When it comes to atrocious delivery room behavior, we’ve heard a lot of stories over the years. One woman’s mother-in-law story definitely takes the cake, however. According to the anonymous woman, who shared her story on Reddit in a post that’s since been deleted, her MIL dropped her newborn on the ground — after she took one look at her grandson and said he was “too dark” to be her son’s child.
Writing from the hospital, the new mom recalled the infuriating scene that had broken out when her MIL came to visit.
“I’m a very pale Native American and I look Irish and not Native and my Significant Other is a Norwegian man,” she explained.
One person was almost dumbfounded.
“She tried to kill your baby, because she thought that it might not be your SO’s,” the commenter wrote. “Glad to hear that she is in Jail. If that isn’t a cause to go No Contact, I don’t know what is. I am so sorry you are going through this.”
“I’m so sorry she did this to you and your baby,” a second person wrote. “You are not over reacting. Even if you had cheated (I know you didn’t I’m just saying … ) to do that to an innocent baby is absolutely horrendous. You DON’T punish an innocent baby like that, it’s horrendous.”
