[quote=Anonymous]OP, I agree with everyone who has said that you should just tune everyone else and snuggle that baby. I did that with my second and a ton of extended family drama everywhere. I had some self-care rituals built in to the caregiving and some fun entertainment to keep me from ruminating on family stuff too much, like a book or a fun podcast or TV show. Other than that, I just took care of the baby, my younger child, and myself. This was years ago, pre-covid, and I think the drama people might have been offended- I'm not sure honestly. My husband had to go back to work after the first week. I kept this up for at least three months. My mental health was primo and the kids and I were healthy and happy. It was an amazing time in my life and I wouldn't change a thing. And it was many years ago. Once that was over and the kids were older, I couldn't shut the drama family out like that anymore, and sometimes I really miss those days for that reason. Enjoy them.[/quote]
