I just gave birth a month ago and had anterible labor and the recovery process for me has been hell:.

Anyway I’ve just been a mess and don’t even have the energy to have ppl over.

My bf asked if I was doing anything w my mom for mother’s Day & I said no bc she wanted the day off to sleep and she lives an hour away. He said he wants to get lunch with his mom
(She also lives far like 45 min ) and I said okay whatever . Then yesterday he said maybe his mom and sister can come over & we can have takeout . His mom hasn’t visited the baby once
Since the hospital bc she said she was sick. She also was rlly rude to me in the hospital after I had a horrible labor and almost lost
My baby. had tons of
Complications I have ptsd from the experience.
She barely acknowledged me and said my bf must be so tired, asked why he hadn’t held her yet when she came In the room
Immediately after the birth when they just put the baby on me and hasn’t even done apgar scores. She Brought Clothes that say “I love daddy “ on them, took my baby and took family pics with her while I sat on the bed discluded. No one asked to take pics of me, or of me and my baby, or with me. It was extremely upsetting and ducked up tbh. Literally took my baby for family pics without her mom who just gave birth to her. Then didn’t say bye to me.

No I don’t want her coming the first time since the hospital and the day she wants to
Come Is my first Mother’s Day? like she wants my boyfriend to
Take her out to brunch then come over and play with my baby.I jusf flipped and said it’s not grandmas day she’s not coming over to play with the baby on my first Mother’s Day and making it about her. Ans he said okay fine I’ll jusr take her to lunch and she can come in after for five minutes. I said no becaus at this point I was just angry . And tbh I don’t see why on my first Mother’s Day he even has to take his mom out. I know that sounds selfish but I’m a new mom and he can’t celebrafe with her another day,l.. like he has to take her out and give her time with the baby on my baby and mom
Day when she hasn’t vistited all month.

I told my bf I don’t lnkw why she even expects you to take her out on my first Mother’s day and he ruined the day for me.he woke up at 1 pm and I’ve been
Doing everything as usual, then I asked when’s ur mom
Coming and he said I told her not
To
Come. It’s 3pm now and he hasn’t even said anything to me like happy
Mother’s Day. I said you Ruined my day so you might
As well gonspend it with ur mom

Am I overreacting. I’m just disappointed & it aucjs this is my family..

So really, what is he for?

Smoking around kids is far from ideal but I think it's favourable over staying with your partner. Go to your mums, plan what to do next once you are away from this man. And most of all, please don't have more children with this man.

You all sound about 12 years old. This is about a baby, not about the two of you. She doesn't get another chance at childhood and all this angst about things that don't matter is energy wasted that could have been focused on the baby.

I was a little fragile about my first mother’s day too. It will get easier

Must point out that it isn't actually 'Mothers Day' here in the UK. This is an Aus and USA celebration.

UK Mothering Sunday was back in March.

Kind of irrelevant since OP is clearly not in the UK.

The OP is in America.

Although it all sound a bit off and I see why your upset, Mother's Day doesn't just cease to exist for older parents because there's a new baby that has made you a mother. It's for ALL mothers, that's the point of it.

Let him take her out to lunch. You even said yourself you're only not seeing your mum because she wants to sleep.

londonrach · 13/05/2019 07:24

Op.."adding my voice to everyone...move back to your mums now. Chain smoking not good but short term then get out of your mums. You need to leave this guy before something terrible happens. Mothers day was in usa yesterday judging by my fb friend posts

SherlockSays · 13/05/2019 07:24

But overall, he sounds like a dick.

TheSerenDipitY · 13/05/2019 07:48

it is also Mothers day in NZ, May 12th as in yesterday

Trebla · 13/05/2019 07:54

Yes in NZ too

cantfindname · 13/05/2019 07:56

Apologies to all who corrected me, I missed the bit where it said OP was in the US.

Mucky1 · 13/05/2019 17:14

Why didn't you make the day special for yourself? Once he didn't get up in the morning then would have got the baby all the kit and buggered off somewhere nice. Buy yourself a luxurious treat and don't give it another thought.

I have read all your other threads and your relationship is Batshit. You didn’t want a baby you love someone else. Your BF is maybe cheating. There is a problem with mil and sil. And that’s a snapshot.
Do yourself and your baby a favour, leave now this isn’t a healthy environment to bring up a baby.
