My Mother-In-Law Said She Would Kick Me Out Of The House If I Didn’t Give Birth To A Boy

“Three girls. Bless her heart.”

For illustrative purposes only
When I was pregnant with Mason, she said: “Let’s hope you don’t ruin this family line, honey.”

When Mason was born, she sighed: “Well, next time.”

“Some women just aren’t built for sons. Maybe it’s your side.”

By baby #3, she didn’t bother sugarcoating. She’d pat their heads and say, “Three girls. Bless her heart,” like I was a tragic headline.
