Long Post.

So this is a bit of a rant/upset post. I’m four almost five months postpartum. When I was pregnant my family was over the moon so excited and so overwhelmed with joy. When I gave birth I specially asked everyone not to be there I wanted to enjoy that moment with my husband after years of infertility. During hours and hours of labor my grandmother, mom and dad popped up at the hospital mid cervical check as my grandmother barged into the room. I ended up having a c section and my daughter went into the nicu and was there for almost two weeks. I asked for the first couple of months other than letting her meet my family on Christmas. To please give us space until around March when it warms up and sickness isn’t as bad. My mom kept telling me that everyone was talking crap about me and my boundaries for my daughter. As months have passed and it being almost the end of April not one person checks up on my daughter or even has seen her. Not one family member actually helped me postpartum and still doesn’t. My mom calls my daughter her angel, precious, her baby but every time she tells me she’s gonna come over she doesn’t show up, she doesn’t text, call, let me know or anything. She said she wanted to bring my daughter an Easter basket on her day off and we had talked about it multiple times being Thursday. Thursday rolls around and I wait all day after being up since 3:45 am and no show, no call nothing. I reached out Friday and she says because I don’t know when she naps. So I decided to stay home and watch my shows When I told her that we go off of cues. But she’s welcome to come over and wait. My husband and I go off cues for our daughter because four month sleep regression hit hard and I try to stretch wake windows but she gets so tired or I lay her down and it takes a bit to fall asleep so only naps 20 minutes. I feel like I’m just feeling so upset because I feel like no one shows up for my daughter and I want them to.
