In a family quarrel, a man felt compelled to support his wife’s position. However, his mother became unhappy with him for doing so, so he resorted to the internet to see if he was correct.

A man turned to Reddit for assistance about his expectant wife and his mother’s birthday. He mentioned that his mother’s birthday coincided with his seven-month-pregnant wife’s discomfort and sensitivity.

The man volunteered to take his mother to dinner for her birthday, and she chose a restaurant that was a forty-minute drive away. The man informed his mother that he didn’t want to travel that far because his wife felt uncomfortable traveling long distances by car.

He also explained to his mother that his wife could only eat a small portion of the menu because it was a seafood restaurant and she could not eat shellfish. He then requested his mother to choose a neighboring restaurant.

The man’s mother refused, saying the only good seafood restaurants were farther away. The man then suggested that his mother choose a different cuisine, noting that they had Mexican and Hibachi near them, which he knew his mother loved.

The man’s mother became angry and told him his wife could stay home while they went to dinner. She found it startling that a grown woman couldn’t stay home alone for a few hours while her husband went to dinner.

After telling his mother that his wife wouldn’t be pregnant forever and asking her to work with them, his mother told him to forget about it and yelled that her birthday was not about his wife. The man responded, “My wife comes first.”
