We have other children and were expecting twins. at my direction, my husband stayed home with our older kids overnight instead of at the hospital with me. Now that I’m a few months removed I’m feeling sad that he didn’t say absolutely not and join me in the hospital. It ended up being much harder than I thought and I look back in those nights with some sadness around him not realizing I needed him. Also that my mom didn’t think the same.
Additional info:
- grandparents were willing and able to watch older kids
- Husband is very involved, does fair share of work, mental load etc etc he’s an exceptional partner and dad otherwise
Fully prepared to be told to get over it/did this to myself.
