Buckle up, folks! 🚗💨 We've got a juicy family drama brewing. 🍵 My sister's about to pop out a baby and wants the whole fam there for the big show. 🤰👪 But here's the thing - I'm not sure I can handle all the blood, sweat, and tears. 😬 I mean, have you SEEN a birth video? 😱 Traumatizing stuff. Now sis is p*ssed that I'm ruining her perfect labor plan. 😤 Mom's not happy with me either. 🙄 I feel guilty AF, but also... boundaries, right? 🤷‍♀️

Family Feud: To Birth or Not to Birth? 👶🔥

Whew, talk about a sticky situation! 😅 On one hand, I totally get wanting to support my sis during this major life event. 👭❤️ But on the other hand, the thought of being front row for the bloody miracle of birth has me shook. 😱 I offered to help in other ways, like cooking and cleaning, but apparently that's not good enough. 🙅‍♀️ Now I'm feeling guilty for stressing out my very pregnant sister. 😔 But honestly, I think I'd be more of a liability than a help in the delivery room. 🤢 I love my sis and my future niece/nephew, but I gotta draw the line somewhere, right? 🤷‍♀️ Let's see what the internet thinks of this family drama! 🍿👀
