Being pregnant and preparing to be a first-time mother is a nerve-wracking experience, which is why having a supportive partner is crucial. However, for one woman, her boyfriend’s mother had other plans. Just when her boyfriend took three weeks off work to help adjust to being parents, his mother scheduled a ‘paternity vacation’ for him to Italy, leaving the pregnant woman alone with their newborn for the last two weeks of his leave. While the mother-in-law gave a kind gesture of a jade-stoned bracelet and a matching newborn one, it was not enough to make up for her lack of understanding. The woman expressed her concern, but her boyfriend’s mother was taken aback, leaving her upset and in tears. Despite her boyfriend agreeing to go for at least a week, the woman wonders if she’s the A**hole for wanting him to stay and bond with their daughter. What do you think?
