"Every time I tell her that I'm not she gets upset and insists that I must be."

In a Reddit post that has the internet buzzing, a 16-year-old girl opened up about the bizarre situation she finds herself in. After recovering from a nasty cold that left her with lingering nausea, she turned to the popular subreddit "Am I the Asshole" (AITA) for insight.

Despite her clear explanation that she's a lesbian and has never engaged in heterosexual activities, her mother has somehow convinced herself that her daughter is pregnant. This has led to an increasingly awkward and uncomfortable situation, with her mother excitedly declaring herself a grandma and insisting on dietary restrictions for the supposed baby.

The teenager's frustration finally boiled over into a heated argument, where she confronted her mother's delusional beliefs. Her family's reactions to the situation are mixed, with her older sister and father agreeing with her but her older brother advising her to go along with her mother's strange fantasy.

Now, she's left wondering if she should have held her tongue or if her reaction was justified. The r/AITA community, along with the wider internet audience, has rallied behind her, offering support and sympathy for the bewildering predicament she finds herself in.

Just take a look at the whole post below and see for yourself...

OP just recovered from a bad cold and mentioned her occasional nausea to her mother. Now, her mother oddly believes she's pregnant.

Despite being a lesbian and never having engaged in heterosexual activities, OP's mother repeatedly insists that they are pregnant.

Things got even more carried away when OP and her mother got into an argument and she got yelled at for not "watching" the baby. OP retorts by calling her delusional.

Now, people in OP's family are agreeing on one thing: that she shouldn't have raised her voice.

Here's what people have to say:

Show her the reality, OP!

Someone suggests pitching in a few bucks to help her buy a pregnancy test, showing solidarity in resolving the situation with collective support.

This quirky pregnancy test collection effort could become a legendary tale of online community support.

Great idea!

The dollar store option is a budget-friendly solution.

What mother in her right mind would want their 16-year-old, how much more a lesbian, pregnant?

Wishing for a pregnancy to avoid facing her daughter's identity crisis is quite the coping mechanism...

Her mom's behavior is undeniably bizarre and unsettling.

"Maybe OP's mom has always had screws loose."

So weird, either way!

Her mother's absurd belief in her teenage pregnancy without any medical confirmation is puzzling, and her father's lack of intervention is equally baffling.

Her dad's constant compliance is a surprising element, and her mom's delay in confirming the pregnancy status is just plain frustrating.

Yikes!

Her mother's preference for teenage pregnancy over her being gay is quite the red flag.

She'll give up, eventually. Hopefully!

The quicker she proves her mom wrong, the sooner this bizarre saga can end.

Her mom's promises to buy a pregnancy test seem like a never-ending cliffhanger.

Push for a doctor's appointment; it could solve the nausea and unveil the unusual situation.

The idea of her mom thinking she's pregnant at her age is just baffling!

It's like she's playing a surreal game of emotional charades.

Her mom's playing a strange game, and while she shouldn't have to prove anything, a pregnancy test could end this odd situation.

"Mom sounds like a psycho."

Simple solution...

The idea of her mom being thrilled about her becoming a teen mom is surreal.

OP's mom and this commenter's grandma seem to share a love for believing in miracles, even in situations where they clearly don't apply.

Best of luck, OP.

Saying the truth and not being believed in can be one of the most frustrating things ever, but let's face it, it's definitely weird that this young kid's mother keeps on insisting that she's having a baby when everything else just screams that it's not even possible!
