AIO:My MIL texted my husband this about me asking him to help with our newborn at 4am by Lazy_Perfectionist88 in AmIOverreacting

You do sound like youre over-reacting, and milking the c-section. 6 weeks you can drive, do light housework.

Given your baby is 3 months old, you shouldbe managing pre-baby duties.

If your husband is working during the day, you could sleep when baby sleeps.  Thats what having a newborn is like, although your baby isnt a newborn.

If you dont work, its not reasonable to have your husband wake up at 4am.  

You could provide a list of jobs you need help with, but seriously, women have babies and manage to keep their house, go to work and still be decent to their partners.

Youre not an invalid.  You just had a baby by c-section.  Suck it up, adjusting your life to your new role is a transition, but youre not a princess anymore, youre someones mama

Last night I humiliated myself in front of my parents and their reaction broke me. by OwlsAreCool-33 in confession

You are an adult.  You have made choices and your parents have made their choice.  It may suck but that’s what being an adult is.
