It's unacceptable to make a scene at family gatherings.
Mary and Jeff are at Mary's mother's house for a family dinner when Mary whispers to Jeff that she's pregnant.
Jeff wants to tell Mary he doesn't want another child.
Jeff whispers back to Mary that he's not OK with the idea but that they'll discuss it further at home.
Jeff admonishes Mary for not taking birth control and declares that he's not interested in keeping the baby loudly enough for all to hear.
The family doesn't notice anything and continues to laugh and eat having a fun evening together.
The family is shocked and embarrassed on behalf of Mary.
