I Stopped My Mother-in-Law from Seeing My Baby—Then She Tried to “Show Me” What’s What

Postpartum blues are more common than many⁤ of ​us ‌think. Research shows that about 80% of new⁢ parents go through it. A new ‍mother named Gretchen is ⁤having a tough time ‌adjusting​ to her new life,‍ which leads ⁢her to ask for some alone time from her family. But things ​got worse ​when her in-laws arrived unexpectedly ⁣to see the baby.‍ She reached out for advice.

I had my first‍ child two weeks ago and​ I’m feeling really ‌overwhelmed and not wanting to do much, so my⁣ mom came over to help me out. I told my mother-in-law, “Please give us some space now.⁣ You can meet the baby later.” She kept⁣ calling every single day, so ⁤I finally said, “I don’t care if it takes forever! I’m just not ready yet.” ‌She went quiet.

Yesterday while I was sleeping, my mom rushed in looking worried. I woke up hearing my baby cry and saw that my husband​ looked shocked when he found me in the living room. To my horror, there⁢ were nine‍ people from his family​ at our house without any warning! It turned ‌out that he invited his mom, dad, siblings⁤ and even their kids without telling me anything.

I confronted him about it because he shouldn’t ⁣have invited them over without asking​ me‌ first! He replied with “You’re‍ overreacting;⁤ it’s not like you‌ had to cook or host them⁢ for days.”

I felt​ totally⁣ stressed ⁤out seeing my ⁣mother-in-law smiling like she won something ‍as if⁤ she was pleased with herself for teaching me a lesson.⁢ Without⁢ saying anything else, I grabbed my‌ purse and left the house still wearing pajamas! Do you think ‍maybe I overreacted?
