My (24f) cousin (23f) has always lived a privileged and rich life with parents that spoiled her rotten as long as she was in school.
Me and her have always been pretty close since we were children because she is my only female cousin, so we often confide in each other.
A few months ago she confessed to me that she was pregnant and that my uncle and aunt were refusing to support her, while she and the father could stay in their home they wanted both of them to find a job to be able to provide for the baby’s needs (formula, diapers, clothes, stroller, bassinet and crib)
My cousin has been unable to find a job, supposedly due to her state and the father is also still uneployed, so she asked me to help her.
While browsing through some trade/selling groups on facebook I was able to find her some second hand clothes, free baby diapers and an old crib that a woman was giving away. When I told her about my findings she called me horrified and said that her baby would not be wearing “old, stinky clothes from someone else’s trash” and that the crib was super old and not what she was looking for.
I have to be honest, she was kinda annoying, so I told her “Do you know what choice you have? You either accept these or get your ass off the couch and go to work, and pray that you can buy all you need for the baby’s due date” (which is mid-October, so not a chance) She accused me of calling her lazy and purposefully “finding the shittiest stuff I could” to upset her and she called me words before hanging up. My uncle later called me and told me that I had greatly upset my cousin and that I should treat her better because she is pregnant and can’t afford the stress. AITA?
