I have a 16 month old and had a planned c-section with our 2nd child 2 weeks ago. We thought it was going to be difficult and that we would need help, my mother died 4 years ago and I don’t have any other family that are able to help so we brought husbands parents over from Morocco for 3 weeks to help.
It has been a bloody nightmare from the start. I am hating every second of it and I’m counting down to when they leave. I won’t go into details as I’d be writing an essay, but there’s alot of cultural differences and miscommunication as they don’t speak much English and I don’t speak much Moroccan. DH is always swanning off for a “little drive” in the car after laying in bed til 11/12
I’m bipolar and the stress of it all nearly triggered an episode.
I’ve seen a different side to my husband now too and seriously considering separating from him.
Anyway just needed to rant!
