Rant moment
My gorgeous daughter is 5 weeks old and I love her more than anything (and anyone, including, sometimes, my husband đ)
But: Iâve got mastitis, donât fit into any of my pre-pregnancy clothes, and am constantly fielding calls from family wanting to visit.
My family live in a different country, and so my husbandâs family donât totally âgetâ my hang ups about certain things with baby so I constantly feel like Iâm defending myself. They also just like to stay for hours. My husbandâs father, upon hearing I have mastitis and wanted to curtail their visit today said, âoh, thatâs ok, she can just lie down in the bedroom while we visit with the baby so we can stay longerâ. Like, noooo please just leave us in peace. They never wash up or do anything and expect to be waited upon when they come round. (plus, can I point out: baby is 5 WEEKS OLD. She wonât remember anything from this visit so really itâs just to please them!)
I know the mastitis will improve, Iâll eventually fit into the clothes (fingers crossed!), and itâs nice to have family support when you need it, but Iâm just finding it so hard.
Anyway, thatâs me out. Thank you for joining me at this low point.
