I Visited My Pregnant Sister, and When I Saw How Her Husband Treated Her, I Taught Him a Lesson

When I arrived at my pregnant sister’s house, I never expected to find her husband treating her like a servant. But what I did next, with a watermelon and a crazy bet, changed everything.

What are you supposed to do when you visit your sister, who is nine months pregnant, and see her being treated like a maid?

This happened to me while I was traveling for work and had to spend a few nights at my sister’s place.

The moment I stepped through the door, I knew something was wrong. Lily, my dear sister, was waddling around with a belly that looked ready to burst.

Her face was pale, and dark circles hung under her eyes like twin shadows. I could practically see the exhaustion radiating off her.

Meanwhile, her husband, let’s just call him “Mark” to protect the innocent (or not-so-innocent, in this case), was sprawled on the couch, controller in hand, and eyes glued to the TV screen.

That’s when I realized the root of my sister’s exhaustion. The very first evening, I witnessed firsthand Mark’s royal treatment.

Dinner was served. It was a simple pasta dish that Lily had clearly put effort into, despite her condition.

Of course, I helped, but this entire time, Mark continued his gaming marathon upstairs.

The next morning, over a breakfast of burnt toast (apparently, Lily’s exhaustion was affecting her culinary skills), I decided to have a little chat with my brother-in-law.

“Hey, Mark,” I began cautiously, “I couldn’t help but notice Lily’s doing a lot around here. Maybe you could lend a hand, especially with the baby coming so soon?”

Mark scoffed, not even bothering to look up from his phone. “Oh, come on. It’s a woman’s job, you know?”.

As I prepared to leave, Lily wrapped me in a bone-crushing hug. “Thank you,” she breathed into my ear. “You saved our marriage and gave our daughter a father who will love and cherish her always.”
