My Christmas gift…

[u/PrincessKirstyn]

Hi all. I’m mom to a 6 month old baby girl - I was induced due to preeclampsia and never produced enough, so I formula feed. (There’s a lot more to it but it doesn’t matter)

Nothing went the way I wanted with my birth or anything - including breastfeeding. I was able to basically live glued to a pump and provide for my girly while she was in the nicu but once she came home it really made my depression worsen to keep pumping because I was losing more and more time with her. My MiL was well aware of my journey with this and how devastated I was to have to stop (if I hadn’t I honestly might not have been here today) and have a another thing go wrong.

Since my baby has been on formula and been perfectly fine and healthy and we are bonded so well!

Wellllll for Christmas I’m watching everyone get really personal gifts for Christmas from mil- I’m excited to get something for ME that I will love since I’ve kinda lost myself since having a baby… but what did I get?

A breast milk storage bag.

She wasn’t on board with me stopping and this just feels like another dig. It’s also not a brand carried in stores so she definitely went out of her way to order it.

This just hurt, and maybe it’s my hormones but it felt intentionally mean.

That’s all. Just had to get this off my chest.

This is fucked up and would’ve made me so upset. It’s time for your husband to say something to his horrible mother. Like “why would you do this?” And then maybe she doesn’t get to see her granddaughter as often as she might want. Fuck that thoughtless bitch.
