A new mum says she feels put under pressure by her husband to leave their eight-week-old baby behind while they attend a wedding, and she just doesn’t feel comfortable
A mum of a newborn baby has told how her husband is piling pressure on her to leave their child behind while they attend a wedding. Although everything has been going ‘fairly well’ since she gave birth eight weeks ago, the new mum says her baby has experienced reflux issues that are causing her some anxiety.
Currently she’s not ready to leave her with anybody except her mum – but she’s worried she may ‘freak out’ with the baby’s reflex issues Although her husband has the exact same fears, he’s now pressuring her to leave the baby behind so they can attend his cousin’s wedding.
Taking to Reddit, where she goes by the username u/Benjamin_F_Pierce, the worried mum explained: “To be honest, I hate weddings. I really don’t want to go. I don’t feel emotionally ready to leave her, and I won’t enjoy myself anyways. I know the stress of going will inevitably lead to me being a mess and most likely having multiple panic attacks.
“I still feel like a hormonal mess, I don’t even have anything that fits me to wear.
