Unfiltered Story #313234

My sister just found out she can’t have kids. It’s been hard because she’s tried for years to get pregnant, and one day at a family dinner, this comes up.

Sister: (my name) you can still have kids, right?

Me: I wasn’t planning to, why?

Sister: You can get pregnant and be a surrogate for me and (husband)!

Silence falls, then I laugh out loud.

Me: Very funny, (sister).

Mom: actually I think it’s a good idea. This way your sister can have a kid, and you can practice!

Me: No, Mom. I don’t want kids at all. Did you not notice how small I am? A baby would destroy my body. The answer is no.

Sister: don’t be so selfish, (my name!) you know that )husband) and I have been wanting a baby for years, wnd this is perfect!

Me: For you, not for me!

Mom; don’t be ridiculous, (my name). When is this phase going to end!

Aunt: That’s enough, (Mom’s name). I wasn’t going to say anything, but you and (sister) are in the wrong here. )sister), you are not entitled to your sister’s body. If she says she doesn’t want to get pregnant, I assume she means it. Now both of you quit nagging her.

Sister: )gets up and leaves)

Mom: (starts harping on about how I shouldn’t be so selfish and I should be proud that my sister asked me)

Me: Okay, you know what? I’ve had enough. Mom, you always take her side, even when she’s in the wrong. I’m sick of it. You paid for her college but not mine, you bought her a vehicle but not me, and you paid for half the cost of her wedding but you won’t respect my wishes not to have a kid. And you didn’t stick up for me when (stepgather) was verbally abusing me. I’m done. Goodbye, mother.

Her jaw dropped and she stared at me like a fish as I went to my car and cried. Then I started to get multiple calls from her, asking how the hell I could treat her like that, what did she do to deserve it, and blaming me for her problems. I blocked her and have not spoken to her or my sister since, although both her husband and my aunt have apologized on her behalf.
