After giving birth to the baby, I couldn't sleep all night because of the pain from the cesarean section.

During this time, I also experienced problems such as blocked milk ducts, fever, wound infection, and pelvic adhesions, which made me doubt life.

My mother-in-law, on the other hand, only saw my husband taking a few trips to the nurse, holding the baby to get a vaccine, and thought he was a hardworking good father.

She went back to her hometown after I was discharged from the hospital, and then posted that infuriating post on her social media.

What's even more infuriating is that when I showed it to my husband, he didn't take it seriously at all.

"Are you being too sensitive after giving birth? My mom is just really happy, she definitely didn't think too much. I think you're overreacting."

That really got me worked up.

Alright then.

If your mom didn't think too much, then you should do more.

She said you worked hard, so you should follow through.

That day, I resigned from having a postpartum caregiver.

My husband started to show his lack of understanding, almost getting into an argument with me. Unfortunately, it was my money that paid for the caregiver, so I had the absolute say.

When the baby woke up crying, my husband comforted him.

When the baby peed or pooped, my husband changed the diaper and cleaned him.

When the baby ate and slept, my husband busied himself in the kitchen.

And then came the scene I posted on social media.

After finishing a call with my mother-in-law that night, she hurried over with bags in tow.

As soon as she entered, she pushed my husband, who was washing dishes, out of the kitchen.

"Oh my, son, are you trying to make your mom worry to death? Stop washing! Let mom do it later! Look at your hands, all wrinkled from soaking!"
