to say no to school run?

[Nanaletti]

I'm 4 weeks PP. Usually do the school run once a week to pick up DSS, but my DD is currently quite demanding, I'm knackered, had zero sleep, she's attached to my boob 24/7 and the school run is 20 miles there and 20 miles back.

I'm really stressing about it but know that if I don't do it, DH will be stuck because he's at work.

I'm completely exhausted. WIBU to say no to doing it for the foreseeable future until DD is in a routine?

somewhere - stupid autocorrect

I just don’t want to is s good enough reason until the baby is at least 12 months old imo. It’s lovely that you help out but it’s “DH”’s peoblem to sort really

Somewhere it’s twenty miles each way, so the round trip of forty miles takes two hours. OP lives in central Birmingham and I can absolutely confirm that the timings are perfectly plausible.

No YANBU. You are 4 weeks PP. You are completely exhausted. You shouldn't be driving in that state. It's not safe. Why is your DH so concerned about his father driving and not you. You are completely sleep deprived, recovering from pregnancy and birth and hormonal whacked. What would happen if you broke a leg? You couldn't drive then. Life would go on. Someone else would have to figure it out. Your current state is akin to being unwell. You must stop feeling forced t do this. It wasn't your choice that DSS moved to another city. This period of time is not easy for you and it's up to everyone else to step up. I'm shocked that anyone would say anything else.

Did you manage to come to an agreement Op? Is he sorting the school run?

I can't believe what I've been reading on here! The father needs to to responsibility for his child! Why do we all have to bow down at the altar of the man's job?

OP YANBU
