“In my 61 years of living on this earth I’ve never seen an adult fall asleep faster, I looked after the baby for four hours and made lunch till Megan woke up and took a shower”
“After a day of watching my son who’s on paternity do nothing but look at me and Megan when the baby cried. No help with the household work nor cooking which he should be doing all himself because she just had a c section”
“I usually don’t involve myself in my kids relationships but he got on my fucking nerves and no he wasn’t raised like that. So I told Megan she was being a door mat and that she smelled like she had an infection that she needed to be on bed rest and that my son should do 100% of the cooking and cleaning rather that act like a single teenager”
“They had a fight and my son told me I was a Karen and a bitch for calling his home dirty and his wife smelling. Me and Megan didn’t fall out she’s asked me to watch the baby for me day which my daughters and I have paid for but my son who isn’t here said I ruin his marriage and that it’s all my fault his wife isn’t talking to him”

“NTA. Your son should be helping out. You called him out on his BS and he didn’t like it. That’s his issue. Support his wife as much as you can, and enjoy the time with the new grandbaby”

“where to even start? your son didn’t tell her you were flying in until the day of. as soon as you get there, he’s off to the gym! it sounds like your daughter in law has been having a miserable time with recovering from surgery, breastfeeding, and not getting any sleep, while your son has just been letting the house get messy.”
“it doesn’t sound like your daughter in law was upset by you. in fact, it sounds like you were exactly what she—and this relationship—needed.”
