A new mom is struggling to balance her postpartum recovery with her mother's expectations that she continue helping with wedding preparations.
A new mother found herself in a difficult situation when her mother insisted she continue helping with wedding preparations even after giving birth. The author had already gone above and beyond in her role as maid of honor, organizing bridesmaids, managing dress fittings, and planning a bachelorette weekend while eight months pregnant. Despite her exhaustion and the demands of caring for a newborn, her mother expected her to continue contributing to the wedding tasks.
Initially, the new mother agreed to help after the baby was born, but her mother's request to work on wedding crafts once she was out of the hospital was met with resistance. The author made it clear that her time would be consumed by caring for the baby, sleeping, and recovering. Her mother, however, resorted to guilt-tripping, claiming that grandparents would also be helping. This situation sparked a debate online about the importance of postpartum care and setting boundaries with family members. Many netizens emphasized that the postpartum period is crucial for recovery and bonding with the baby, and that taking on extra tasks like wedding planning can be unrealistic and detrimental to a new mother's well-being. They suggested that the author should have set even firmer boundaries with her mother and prioritized her own needs
