It was another great discussion with Author Alexandra Slater, also known as ‘The Hingham Housewife’. You can listen to us discuss various life problems, submitted by our listeners every Wednesday morning at 9:10! This week, a disgruntled mom wrote in about a frustration with her postpartum daughter:
My daughter just had a baby, and I also finally started dating again after my husband and I divorced three years ago. She wants me to help her with the baby all the time, but I’m cultivating a new relationship. Is it unfair of me to tell her no? Or is she being unfair to me if she’s mad I’m out with my new boyfriend instead of helping her with the baby?
This is a sensitive topic that Rob, Beth, and the Hingham Housewife all tried to navigate. A 508 number texted into the text line with this feedback:
I feel like the mom needs to prioritize her daughter, especially if it’s a new baby. Mom’s have a responsibility to their kids.
