Reddit Slams Man Who Calls His Wife Extra Hormonal After Deciding To Let His Parents Visit Right After The Baby's Birth Without Consulting With His Wife
Clearly, this guy is ignorant.
One Reddit post about a newborn visit turned into a full-blown argument about marriage, boundaries, and who gets to make decisions after childbirth.
In this story, a man told Reddit he let his parents visit right after his wife gives birth, even though he never asked her first. When she got upset, he brushed it off by calling her extra hormonal, which only made the situation worse.
Reddit did not hold back, and the backlash kept growing as he tried to defend himself. Read on.
The man and his wife
JosephPeckerjrWhy are his parents demanding anyway?
JosephPeckerjrAnd he did not even consult the wife about it.

That detail set off the whole argument.
Of course she's upset!
JosephPeckerjr
He did not even bother asking his wife what the issue was, shaking off her concern.
JosephPeckerjr
He agreed because they complained? Unreasonable.
JosephPeckerjr
Redditors were not impressed.
Dude, just listen to your wife.
JosephPeckerjr
Redditors will be the judge.
JosephPeckerjr
Why can't he just be understanding?
JosephPeckerjr
It wouldn't be a problem if he consulted her. He made himself stuck.

But is the wife comfortable enough with his mom?
JosephPeckerjr
You tell him!

The days after childbirth aren't the best time to accept guests.

What this Redditor said is on point.

This is similar to the husband stuck with intrusive in-laws, while his wife demands boundaries.
Did the man even consider this?

Ignorant is the best way to describe this man.

She doesn't need the added stress that comes from the guests.

This man needs to educate himself.

Women need their privacy during such a time.

In such an important time, the husband decided to become the antagonist to his wife.

This is what the wife fears, and he completely disregarded it.

The parents' version of helping.

This woman would even go as far as to divorce such a man.

She will always have a say in who gets to be in their house at any given time.

This Redditor has seen it before.

He is actually the bad guy here.

Recovery should be the priority, not what the guests think.
throwawayact75
He refuses to see these things.

Guilt-tripping during the Christmas season?

We hope he realizes his mistakes.

New mothers understand his wife's plight.

The bottom line is simple, he needs to understand his wife's needs.
He has been completely ignorant about the situation and utterly inconsiderate towards his wife. No wonder Reddit is fuming.
If you saw the other comments from the husband, you'd get mad too. Instead of understanding his wife, he kept defending himself.
He doesn't have any updates about the situation, but we do hope that the wife gets all the privacy and attention she needs!
Wondering what happens when in-laws make comments so bad you leave? Read this AITA where someone walked out of a family gathering over hurtful in-law remarks.
