The husband, clearly embarrassed, pulled his mother out of the room. Shortly after, the front door slammed.
When the mom woke up from her nap, her husband was sitting at the kitchen island, clearly angry. He accused her of embarrassing him and claimed it wouldn’t have “killed” her to get up for 30 minutes so his mother could see her and the baby.
But the mom remained steadfast, reiterating that she was tired of being left in the dark about guests. She said, “Unless he loops me in, I’m not open to guests. I’m done not being told what’s going on and feeling like I’m in the dark in my own home.”
People rallied around her online, supporting her decision to stand her ground.
One commenter noted: “What absolutely baffles me is that after he knows his mother is headed to your home, he has literally 3 HOURS to inform you that she’s on her way.”
Others pointed out how disrespectful it was for her husband to think it’s acceptable to use the baby and home as an open-invitation venue without consulting her first.
Her stance was simple: Sleep is sacred when you have a baby, and her need for rest and informed consent on visitors isn’t up for negotiation.
In the end, people agreed she had every right to establish boundaries and protect her space, even if it upset her husband and MIL.
