At the very top of the thread OP said she was nervous about it. Why do you think she’s nervous about it? Her DH sounds extremely capable and already spends significant time caring for the baby.

And yet. She’s nervous. Why? Because she’s a new mother and being away from a newborn causes a primal sort of pain.  I personally wouldn’t do it for the simple reason that I would not want to.

But. It sounds like OP is doing it, and guess what? The baby will be “fine.” The one who will suffer is OP. [/quote]

DP. Exactly. I've posted on this thread previously, and I think honestly my root problem with this is I feel like OP is being taken advantage of. She just had a baby 8 weeks ago, and now her family is expecting her to leave her baby and go take care of a grown man, which is really challenging hard work. OP should be given the space and time to be with her baby. I'm mad that the people in her life don't realize this, and I guess I just feel bad for OP that feels like she has to do this.

And yea, as another person commented recently, I also think it's weird that her first post was about how nervous she is, but now she keeps commenting on how everything is going to be fine and her DH is totally capable and her MIL is going to help. Uh... so, why did you even post....?[/quote]

OP here. You can be nervous and feel confident in the care you have for your child. I’m nervous to be away from my baby, but I know he’s in good hands. I asked for tips. I never asked whether I should go or stay home. Most of the replies I got where people being rude. [/quote]
