New Mom Says Mother-in-law Appeared With Suitcase

A new mom posted her conundrum on Reddit after her husband turned away her mother-in-law. While she was pregnant, the mother-in-law offered to help when the baby was born, but the young mom refused. “I appreciated that she wanted to help, but I wanted time to recover and bond as a family,” she wrote. However, her husband never told his mother not to come, and so she showed up with a suitcase a few days after the birth. “Apparently, my husband never actually told her she wasn’t staying with us…He ended up telling her that now wasn’t a good time, and she left furious,” she explained. While the original poster feels guilty, commenters appear to take her side. “You set a clear boundary, and your husband failed to communicate it. Recovering from childbirth is exhausting, and you deserved a stress-free environment,” one reader said. (People)
