My little man is three weeks old and I just want to enjoy hanging out with him but my mother in law is staying with us and will not shut the fuck up about trump/musk. I have to remind her every three days that I do not want to remember her complaining when I think about my child's birth.

In other news I have trained myself to wake up every 3 hours to feed him overnight without an alarm.

Congratulations dude! They're so tiny at that age, but they grow and change fast!

I can imagine that must be exhausting. I think it would be hard work having even the most laid back person around all the time! Does she help you guys out? Having a helping hand with chores around the house would be a god send.

Thanks! Yeah he was born 8lbs 7oz and is already up to 10lbs.

I've been keeping up with feeds to make sure my wife rests and recovers from the c-section. Thankfully MIL has been taking care of most of the house work.

Wait your MIL is staying with you, and you're still waking up every 3 hours? Shouldn't she be there to take some of the work?

I wish lol. She refused to take any of the overnight feeds.

Damn dude, hope you can escape a bit during those feedings and sleep in. Some of my best memories around that age were watching all of Clone Wars, and inadvertently creating a pavlov dog situation with the star wars theme song and the feeding.
