I am a first time mum and gave birth to my daughter 4 weeks ago.
My OH's best friend turned 40 last weekend and we were both invited to a party at his house. It was a relatively small affair with about 20 people and a fair few toddlers. I knew about half the people there, though most not well.
I didn't have the best birth (induced, ventouse, episiotomy, minor pph). I am also breastfeeding and contracted mastitis 10 days post partum which I had just finished antibiotics for at the time. A
Anyway, I decided I wasn't feeling up to going to the party with my daughter. Partially because I still am not recovered from birth, I am sleep deprived and also because my DD is still very unpredictable and can want to breastfeed at any time, which I am still getting the hang of.
I obviously said OH could go, to send my love etc.
Anyway OH seemed annoyed at this, when he came back said people were 'surprised' I wasn't there and text me whilst there asking if he could come pick us up. To be honest this annoyed me a bit because I would have thought most of his friends with young kids would understand why I wasn't there. He started saying things like "we can't turn into hermits" etc. as I hadn't been out the house much since she was born. He seems to think I'm being unreasonable by not wanting to go out much just yet.
To clarify I don't mind going round to peoples' houses who I know well or family and we are going to his friends' this evening where there will be just his friend and his wife.
Aibu?
