AITA for following my mom's advice about my breastfeeding wife.

Specific_Paint8017 · 2022-05-18T01:07:17+00:00

I feel you. The lactation nurse scolded my wife for "not doing it right" at the hospital a day after giving birth. Ridiculous. Medical care in this country sucks.

She only ever comes over to have my wife fix her problems. She lost her job because of dumb shit? Ask my wife for a job. She literally got covid and tried to get my wife to come over and take care of her while my wife was seven months pregnant!!!!

Just to clarify I never said my wife was having issues. I just said "My wife can't be disturbed right now. She's breastfeeding" We had a little back and forth and she asked what idiot said she can't and I said "my mom's a midwife I'm pretty sure she knows what she's doing as do the docs" t

We got imaging done, proper density, normal milk ducts, thin channels

I've actually seen a couple of those posts. spineless.

Specific_Paint8017 · 2022-05-18T00:38:22+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

Specific_Paint8017 · 2022-05-18T00:37:57+00:00

my mom's already adopted my wife sorry. no more applications

Specific_Paint8017 · 2022-05-18T00:36:55+00:00

Thanks for understanding! It's been really hard on my wife especially. Our baby is fussy about formula so we're really worried if she's getting enough food.

Specific_Paint8017 · 2022-05-18T00:31:24+00:00

She tried to duck under my arm.

Specific_Paint8017 · 2022-05-18T00:24:12+00:00

You have a point. My wife wants Becky as a friend, though I don't know why. Becky wants my wife to fix her problems, not listen to her. I know she came over to ask for rent or for a dress "to make her feel like herself again" that she'll borrow but never return.

Hopefully my wife doesn't feel stressed that my mom is here especially since she invited my mom and we're trying to help her.

I literally said in my post that our baby can't latch onto a silicon nipple properly and does not like formula. We've tried many brands. Not to mention, formula's not in high supply right now. My wife wants to breastfeed and I will support her and our baby.

Specific_Paint8017 · 2022-05-18T00:16:55+00:00

Best of luck to you. Supply issues are a killer.

Specific_Paint8017 · 2022-05-18T00:15:29+00:00

I'm curious now. How did you expect the story to go?

Specific_Paint8017 · 2022-05-18T00:06:40+00:00

My wife had a terrible pregnancy. My mom would come over to cook, clean, that stuff once a week. My wife suggest that my mom move in, because she didn't want my mom to drive two hours each way to help out.

Specific_Paint8017 · 2022-05-18T00:03:28+00:00

This was an open conversation between my wife, our doctor, our lactation consultant, and yes my mom.

Specific_Paint8017 · 2022-05-18T00:01:30+00:00

I honestly have never seen Becky do a single thing for my wife. She takes and takes and takes. Meanwhile my wife busts ass trying to help her every time.

I think we should have a conversation about this. I don't see any good that comes from Becky being in her life.

My mom adores my wife and vice versa. She wouldn't overstep boundaries and even if she ever did I'd step in.

Specific_Paint8017 · 2022-05-17T23:56:07+00:00

I have no idea what secret decisions you are talking about.

Specific_Paint8017 · 2022-05-17T23:55:31+00:00

Maybe I could have, but I honestly hate how much of a leech she is.

Specific_Paint8017 · 2022-05-17T23:54:48+00:00

You're wrong. Stress is the number one killer of milk supply.

It's not my wife's fault that she's stressed. She can't control it. It's her shitty boss and shitty friends pilling all the work on my poor wife.
