The birth of a child can wreak havoc in a couple's lives. Already during the pregnancy, the first signs of change in everyday life begin to be perceived. Then, when the new baby arrives, the situation really gets hectic. We sleep very little, we get up at all hours, we are constantly on the alert so that nothing happens to the baby. Surely, for all these reasons it is perhaps not the best time to think about having guests over to house. The subject of the story we are about to tell you is not of the same opinion. This is a husband who, in the very first days of his son's life, decided - without first consulting with his wife - to invite the whole family over to spend a week at their house. One can only imagine his wife's reaction.

It would be easy for no woman to deal with giving birth to a baby and, the next day, to have a house full of relatives for an entire week. Let's see how things went:

A 27-year-old husband and new dad told his story on Reddit to ask followers for advice. In his story, we read that his wife had not yet given birth, but she was preparing to do so when he had a confrontation with his parents. The family complained that, during the previous Christmas holidays, the couple did not show up to spend some time together with the family, taking advantage of the holidays to do so. He replied that he was open to any proposal.

Well, the proposal that was made, in the end, did not please his wife. The boy's parents proposed joining them at their home and staying with them for a week, immediately after the baby was born. Without hesitating for a moment, the 27-year-old accepted.

The young man continued his story on Reddit: "A few days later, when my wife a few days later told me about what we needed to do after the birth of the child, I remembered the commitment I made with my family and I told her about the invitation. She was shocked - she had always got along with everyone, but this was too much. We had always spent a lot of time together with the family in the past and everything went smoothly. But in this case, she immediately told me to cancel. "

The man's wife could not believe that he had thought it would be a good idea to invite people to their home immediately after her giving birth. "I replied that my mother could have given us a hand with the child. My wife, however, did not buy this and continued to demand that I cancel the visit. On the other hand, I could not tell my parents that we would have had to postpone it again - they would have been offended," continued the husband, user @JosephPeckerjr.

From the rest of the story, we learn of the deep unease of the new mother who wanted to take the first days of her son's life to get used to him and to create a deep bond as a family of three. Instead, everything was about to be turned upside down and other people would around interfering in their lives.

For this reason, many doubts arose in the husband's mind and he, unable to decide for himself, asked for advice. Most followers have sided with the wife, arguing that the postpartum period is not an entirely easy time and one needs to be in a comfortable and calm environment.

What do you think? Was he wrong or could the wife have relented and welcomed her husband's family into their home?
