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.
The days after giving birth are a crucial time for both the mother and the baby. It's a time when the mother needs to heal after such a strenuous event.
Above all, it's a cherished moment between the mother and baby. It's a time to prioritize herself and her baby.
As much as possible, mothers don't want additional stress during this healing time. They certainly don't want to hear any unwanted advice from the in-laws.
Women also need privacy during the healing process. The fewer people at home, the better.
These are the reasons why women who have just given birth don't want to deal with their in-laws. Unfortunately, some husbands aren't too understanding, just like this Redditor we're looking at today.
Reddit user JosephPeckerjr asked the community if he's the a**hole for letting his parents visit them right after his wife gives birth. He calls his wife "extra hormonal" after she got upset over a decision that they should have discussed.
Members of the AITA subreddit were completely against the original poster and sympathized with the pregnant wife. Even his edits did not save him from the sharp words of the community.
Let's take a look at the different reactions of the Redditors.
The man and his wife
JosephPeckerjrWhy are his parents demanding anyway?
JosephPeckerjrAnd he did not even consult the wife about it.
JosephPeckerjr
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
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.
JosephPeckerjr
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.

Ignorant is the best way to describe this man.

He's too inconsiderate.

We do hope he realizes what he has done.

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

Yikes!

They're guests, after all.

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.
theresidentpanda
He is actually the bad guy here.
throwawayact75
Recovery should be the priority, not what the guests think.
throwawayact75
He refuses to see these things.
throwawayact75
Guilt-tripping during the Christmas season?
throwawayact75
We hope he realizes his mistakes.
throwawayact75
New mothers understand his wife's plight.
DinoMaster365
The bottom line: 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!
