The OP felt like his partner was trying to attack his mother at every opportunity.

Boyfriend supports his mother

The friend went into labor and the OR drove her to the hospital, where they met her mother. The Reddit user decided to take his mother to the delivery room since his girlfriend wasn’t in active labor yet.

She clearly did not want to see his mother against her will, which resulted in his mother being physically removed from the room.

When the friend went into labor, the operating room wanted to bring his mother with him to witness the birth of the child. But his partner ensured that he and his mother both stayed out of the room and he was never allowed to attend the birth of his child.

He visited the baby shortly after birth and brought his mother with him. The grandmother gave the baby a kiss on the cheek, which quickly angered his girlfriend.

Reddit users have spoken out in support of the friend, supporting her opinion that pregnant women have the final say in some matters when it comes to who can be involved in the birth.

One said: “She could have chosen to be there completely alone. You have no right to decide what happens there. She is the patient. We like to think about it.”

“As a father, I never allowed anyone to be in the same room with my children. There was no one in the delivery room except her husband and mother,” said another.

A third user said: “I think she was pretty hard on mom. But then again, it’s probably their decision.”
