I'm sure that it wasn't intentional that you weren't called. Remember what it was like to come home with a new baby.....all the stuff that you had to take care of......and how tired you were? Don't be offended. Be happy that the baby is finally home and everyone is doing well! Give the new Mom at least 2-3 weeks to become comfortable with being a new mom and to heal then go for a visit. A new grandchild....Congratulations!!!!!!!!
Let your DIL know that you're being considerate of how she's feeling. She'll really appreciate that you're concerned for her well being. It's always good to stay on the good side of your DIL!!!!!!! My daughter's MIL came to visit as soon as she heard about her first new granddaughter. My daughter felt like she hardly got to care for the baby and was bossed around by her MIL. She was very upset.

jasmine, i would feel hurt, there is so much to do when you first bring your baby home, both of us were exhausted, every 4 hours waking up feeding, changing diapers, getting bottles ready, running to the store for last min. things, doctor's visits, people coming over to see the baby, you just don't get a break, the time just flies, maybe he was going to call when things settled down a little...

First off welcome aboard. Second. I know it must be hard. My oldest had her baby here close to me but the next one won't be and i'm not sure the next time i will be called before the event happens. Sometimes they get caught up in the moment. If i could I'd reach out and give you a hug. Keep your chin up and just remember they are the ones that have to get up in the middle of the night with
feedings and walking the floor trying to get the baby back to sleep. Motherhood isn't it just special.

I sure do feel for you. Be patient, he'll call. Probably had a million things on his mind with getting mother and baby situated at home and probably running around buying things when they probably thought they had it all figured out, but you just never know what you overlooked in the preparation.
When you get pics please be sure to post them so we can all see the brand new baby!

Hi Jasminie and welcome aboard.. I agree with the others I don' t think you were meant to be slighted. With the baby having to stay and then being released he didn't think to call... How is your relationship with your DIL in general? Her hormones will be out of whack for awhile so don't take things to heart...
Btw Congratulations Grandma! Is he your first grandchild? |
