[quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry, OP. The post partum hormones are no joke and I totally didn't anticipate how out of sorts I was going to feel. I was raised by Southerners where manners are paramount and even I found myself yelling at my MIL when my oldest was less than 2 weeks old. That's NOT who I am, and I like my MIL. I was just so totally overwhelmed by an emergency c-section and trying to nurse and didn't have space to manage the desires of anyone other than the baby and basic needs for myself. I was crying all the time and actually wondered for months if I had PPD (which in hindsight I might have but it's hard to suss out at the time).

Your mom was wrong. A, for not asking and springing it on you. B, for not pivoting when she realized it was a problem. C, for sending that crappy email after she left.

As others have mentioned, I'd drop your Uncle a note/email and apologize, tell him you don't feel quite like yourself yet, but I'd ignore your mom for a while. So sorry, OP. [/quote]
