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!

Why not pack his stuff ready for him to go back with his dps while he is out being a single man with no dc...?

How are things with you now @NoSherbert?

I didn’t see this thread until just now, and I’m sorry you didn’t get many responses at the time. That sounds dreadful and I hope things have improved for you
