A pregnant woman claims that her jealous sister who has “always wanted a daughter” but is a mom to six boys is attempting to live vicariously through her pregnancy.

The pregnant woman took to Reddit to write about her 40-year-old sister.

“I remember when I was a kid and she’d talk about the daughter’s she’d have. She had names picked out and this image in her head of how she’d dress them and such,” the pregnant woman wrote, per people.com. “When she met her husband, she told him she wanted to get married young and have kids young, so she had plenty of time to make sure she had at least a few daughters.”

Now, as the pregnant poster awaited news of the sex of the child, she said her sister is “struggling with the idea I could live her dream.”

The woman said she chatted with her mom about the issue.

“They were actually hoping I’d let my sister help with names if we’re having a girl, once she’s processed the news and all,” she wrote.

“I told my mom it wasn’t happening and she told me it could be fun and my sister’s got a long list of little girl names she saved for daughters,” she added.

After declining to include her sister in the naming of her own child or letting her know about the sex of the baby, she said her sister called her “insensitive and selfish.”

“She told me it’s a small ask to find out the sex and let her know so she finds out if I was lucky and got a girl this time around. Then went on a rant about how unfair it is and she knows deep down I’m having a girl this time and how unfair it is when I don’t care about the sex of my kids but she always did,” she added.

The woman said she doesn’t want to be around her sister, adding that her and her husband “wouldn’t see her for at least the rest of my pregnancy.”

“My dad and brothers get it, but my sister and mom are pissed,” she said. “My sister thinks I’m robbing her of the chance to experience a baby girl and my mom said I’m overreacting. I tried to explain why to my mom, but she told me it wouldn’t have hurt to make my sister feel included.”

The woman said that she is worried that her sister might “try and hog the baby” after the birth.

Reddit users were weighing in on the issue, with some saying that the woman is right to be concerned.
