There’s nothing worse than your own husband making you feel like shit for wanting one week (7 days) of privacy after having the baby! His whole family (mother, father, brother, sister, his other daughter) wants to come stay at my house for a week when I have our daughter and I just want privacy during that time and he is making me feel like the worst person on earth for it. I feel like he’s not caring about my needs at all and prioritizing their wants regarding meeting the baby. I want time to heal, to learn breastfeeding, to bond! It’s not a social event for me 😩

UPDATE:

Sooooo, I ended up just calling his dad myself and explaining the situation and it turns out, he was completely understanding. It was only my husband wanting everyone there and making me think that they were the ones just being pushy when it was just him the whole time 🤬

I feel like this is deceitful and I feel pretty betrayed. Marriage counseling here we come 🤦🏻‍♀️
