My husband’s family thought I had given birth to a daughter and ignored me during the confinement period. On the day of the full moon, I made them lose face. Was I wrong?

Actually, I really don’t understand the idea of ??favoring boys over girls. Boys and girls are both good, so why should we treat them differently? Moreover, in today’s society, there are still such old ideas. My mother-in-law has such stubborn thoughts, so it makes me particularly speechless.

I knew before my husband and I got married that their family originally had two children, including the husband and a sister. Because my husband's sister is a girl, she has not been liked by her mother-in-law since she was a child, and her mother-in-law also pays little attention to her. When she turns sixteen, she will be asked to go out to earn money, and all the wages she earns will be given to the family. Later, my mother-in-law married off her husband's sister for a bride price without a dowry, which made her very helpless. The eldest aunt was particularly sad. She never visited her mother-in-law after she got married. Although she didn't say it explicitly, she had basically severed ties with the family.

Later, my mother-in-law also kept instilling this idea in me, that I must have a boy, because having a boy will make a difference. I was really annoyed by what she said. When I was really pregnant, my mother-in-law kept urging me to get checked. Later, she quietly learned that I was pregnant with a girl. My mother-in-law immediately changed her face, became very indifferent to me, and scolded me from time to time. The last few sentences are tiring. My mother-in-law also wanted me to have an abortion and get pregnant again. This is a life, how could I do this?

Later the baby was born, and I needed someone to take care of me during my confinement period. My parents were far away, so I couldn’t come over, but my mother-in-law didn’t care about me at all, and I often couldn’t eat. She would never come home to see me or the child, and she was extremely disgusted with my daughter. I had no choice but to go back to my parents’ home.

That day when my child was one month old, I made my mother-in-law’s family look embarrassed. I said that day that this child is my child and will bear our family name from now on. My mother-in-law doesn't like girls anyway, so this is her choice. She shouldn't regret it. When this incident spread, my mother-in-law's family was completely laughed at. Everyone was talking about it, but I think she forced me to do it. I didn't do anything wrong. What do you think?
