Is my fiancés step mom guilt tripping my birthing experience? Am I in the wrong?
Fiancé’s step mom (59F) sobbed to her biological son (22M) that apparently she was butt hurt about a Facebook post I made that put nicely said I didn’t want visitors at the hospital 48 hours after my sons birth, and how I was so mean for that. 🙄 even though the post told EVERYONE in my family the same thing and didn’t even target her specifically. She doesn’t even acknowledge our toddler daughter much, my daughter (1F) wails when she’s around. And the only time his step mom wants to even acknowledge me is to race to the hospital without my prior knowledge or consent whenever there is a labor scare because she has to be ‘first’ to see our unborn son.
My post says as follows: “Due to last years traumatic experience postpartum in the first three months, I will be prioritizing my immediate family and keeping our newborn close for the first few days. I don’t desire anyone holding baby apart from my fiance in the first 48 hours and I am saying no to hosting visits in the first month. I won’t be having visitors in the L&D department since I will need to heal after the cesarean and establishing a bond with our son, along with my fiance and I wanting to enjoy the last time we can have a newborn. Please understand these are boundaries considered for our son’s health, my recovery and our family’s comfort. This isn’t to hurt anyone. You will get to meet baby boy when we are ready at home.”
