New Mom Calls in Reinforcements for a Shower Break

Being a new mom is tough, especially when you’re breastfeeding and your baby just wants to be close to you 24/7. One mom found herself in this exact situation, and all she wanted was a little time to herself to take a relaxing shower. But with her husband’s inability to soothe their baby, she had to call in backup – her own mom! Little did she know, this would lead to some unexpected drama between her and her husband.

Mom vs. Hubby: The Shower Showdown

This new mom was desperate for a relaxing shower, but her husband just couldn’t seem to handle their baby without bringing her into the bathroom. Frustrated and in need of some self-care, she called her own mom to come watch the baby so she could finally have a moment to herself. But when her husband found out, he accused her of making him look bad in front of her mom and being an a**hole for not telling him to keep the baby out of the shower.
