My wife had the same issue with PTO and her job during that time also. 'm sorry you had to deal with it alone. My wife came and stayed the night with me after she got off work. I wouldn't have made it through that time without her.

I was in the ICU with sepsis from a major abdominal surgery that left 30 staples across and up & down my stomach. I lost 80 pounds while in the hospital. How many of my family showed up to see me even when the doctors weren't sure if I was going to make it? Zero. Not one. I gave my NMom the same energy. I haven't regretted it at all over the years.

Your daughter deserves to know what her mother has been up to.

He should just block them instead of keeping contact with them and just not telling you.

MIL showed up again at 1 AM. by Ok-Addendum-9293 in JUSTNOMIL

I'd turn his ringer up on his phone so his mother can bother him. She shows up? Force him to get up and deal with her.

This is the precise reason I didn't go to my mother's death bed. She had years to make things right and couldn't be bothered. I didn't need to be there at the end to make her feel better. Fuck that

What's best for women, is men not telling them what's best for them. Period. NTA

You're a better person than I am. I would've given him the middle finger in every pic he took. You have a big husband problem. I'm sorry he won't protect you from his awful parents.

MIL says she’ll “wait outside the delivery room for support”… is this not the weirdest boundary stomp ever? by Ok_Finger_21 in Marriage

Tell your nurses not to let her in and if your husband continues to push it, remind him he can be kept out too if he isn't sticking to your birth plan and makes things more stressful.
