My entitled parents demand that I give up my baby to my twin sister as they claim that she would be a better parent than I ever would as a single mom.

0:08.3

Things have gotten so bad that they said they would cut me out of the family if I don't sign away my rights to my child over to my sister.

0:15.6

Here's what happened. So I'm in a really tough spot and I could use some outside perspective. I'm a 28-year-old single woman, currently seven months pregnant and living on my own.

0:23.6

My sister and I are twins and she's the golden child of our family, always getting special

0:28.6

treatment, praise, and the best of everything.

1:10.5

heartbroken and furious.

1:12.2

I get that they are excited about being grandparents, but I've worked hard to prepare for this baby,

1:16.8

and I firmly believe that my child deserves to be raised by me. Sure, I might not be a picture-perfect

1:22.2

family in their eyes, but I have loved to give and I can provide for my baby. I thought my

1:27.1

refusal would put an end to their

1:28.6

unreasonable expectations, but instead they escalated things. They staged a family meeting where they

1:34.2

tried to pressure me further. My mom even went as far as to give me the ultimatum, saying to me,
