Ughhh . I asked my mom to come for 2 days after my son was born . I had a rough labor and delivery and because I had not been around many newborns , I lacked confidence . She came and packed a bag . She told me it would be good for me to go to Walmart , but I suspect it was because SHE needed something . I came back exhausted . I fixed HER lunch while she held the baby . She did wash and fold 1 load of baby clothes , which really wasn ' t needed yet . Then she called my dad to come and get her , while I cried and begged her just to stay one night since I was having so much worry and anxiety that I wasn ' t able to sleep at all . I thought having her there , an experienced mothergrandmother my fears would ease and I would be able to sleep . She laughed at me while she headed out the door , leaving me sobbing . She said she would miss my dad too much to spend a night without him . I could have written your story .
