'Fed Up' Mom-to-Be Says She Won't Reveal Baby's Sex or Name to Family Members, but the 'Suggestions Won't Stop'

A woman who is pregnant with her first child says that her siblings and in-laws have been "hounding" her for information about her baby — and she doesn't want to share either the sex or the name she has picked out.

In a post shared to Reddit, the anonymous 38-year-old writes that she is "a high risk pregnancy" and has been keeping a lid on things both to protect her child, and because her family members have a tendency to overshare on social media.

"Over Thanksgiving weekend both sides of our family was asking for gender and wanting to talk baby names etc.," she writes. "My own mother knows we don't want to share and has been very supportive. My own siblings and in laws however have been hounding me."

She continues: "I've told them I don't know the gender (and don't want to know because it doesn't really matter either way) and we are set in our name choices."

She adds that she doesn't want to share those name selections, though, because she knows her family members will weigh in.

"The questions and suggestions wouldn't stop," she writes. "I've calmly and politely asked them to stop ... I finally got fed up and said if they didn't stop the hounding I'll name the baby Rudolph."

The woman's mother-in-law responded by saying, "Why can't you ever do anything normal? This is the fun part and you're ruining it for all of us," she continues.

"I could tell I hurt her feelings but everything I do ends up all over social media which isn't something I want for my child," she adds. "My husband quickly told his family to back off and if they wanted to be involved then maybe actual effort instead of badgering me and trying to constantly give advice would be a better start."

The situation, she adds, "blew up from there," with her husband's sister immediately posting about the situation on Instagram.

Now, the woman wants to know if she's in the wrong for choosing to protect her privacy.

Commenters don't seem to think so.

As one commenter writes, "It's your pregnancy and you're free to set any boundaries you want about it and the baby."

Adds another: "Just remember. If you don’t set boundaries, you’re telling your kids they can’t set boundaries. Even if it feels weird and kinda rude or mean, set your boundaries."
