[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He got upset when I told him I'd need him to stay with me overnight in the hospital after I gave birth to our daughter.  He'd been hoping to sleep at home then come back in the mornings and was very upset he had to sleep on the uncomfortable recliner in my recovery room.  It wasn't our finest moment but honestly, we were both so exhausted after a multi-day induction that neither of us were thinking clearly.  It was a single moment of dumb@ssness from an otherwise wonderful man.  [/quote]

Is it really so bad? I wouldn't want to sleep on that stupid recliner either and if he's just going home to sleep and coming right back in the morning... why is that a big deal?[/quote]

Because I hadn't slept for 48 hours.  Because we were in a "baby friendly" hospital that provided absolutely no help with the baby besides coming in and yelling at me for doing apparently every single thing wrong, they literally wouldn't even hand me the baby if they were already in the room.  Because the call button in our room didn't work so if there had been an issue, I couldn't have alerted the nurses (I tried shouting and they didn't hear me).  Because my epidural didn't wear off for hours so I couldn't stand up to get the baby on my own.  Because, even after the epidural finally wore off, I had a 3rd degree tear and needed help getting out of bed each and every time and needed help getting onto and off of the toilet.

Because I needed him there.[/quote]

You sound really needy. [/quote]

+1000. Next time hire assistants to be with you. Or choose a different hospital.[/quote]
