When are we resuming normal activities?
I’m due on July 10th and a first time mother. We already have an important wedding that we can’t miss on August 8th about an hour away since my husband is the best man, and my husband just informed me his sister is having an engagement party on August 15th about an hour away. I have already prepared the best I can for the wedding, we are going to get a hotel nearby so I can leave early if I have to.
I said that I am not yet making promises about attending the engagement party. Am I delusional to think that I won’t be ready for events 2 weekends in a row? He is upset that I won’t promise to go to the engagement party. I don’t want to commit to plans when I don’t know how I’m feeling yet.
My husband also has to attend a bachelor party on the 20th of June, and a huge work event that he is hosting on the 27th of June that he is expecting me to attend. I feel like my husband is not having realistic expectations of me at the end of pregnancy and newly postpartum.
Edit: we talked it out and agreed that I would be tentative for these events. I wanted to clarify that my husband is a good guy just very optimistic given the circumstances and apologized after doing some more research. He is the patriarch of his side of the family so feels especially obligated for these things. Thanks to everyone for providing different perspectives and we can lower the pitchforks… for now lol
