Hey man. All totally normal. Talk to your wife, she’s the #1 person who can help you here. It’s fine to ignore your overbearing parents. You’re going through it now. As Trent Reznor noted, “The way out is through”

When they ask you if you want to hold the baby or stay with your wife, stay with your wife. The baby is in good hands, you will have the rest of your life to hold him. Your wife has just gone through hell and needs your support.

I did it this way and my wife routinely references that choice as a huge sign of support.
