I Fainted during a Family Gathering Because My Husband Won’t Help with Our Newborn to Let Me Sleep

My husband and I were meant to be a team when we welcomed our first child, but he turned on me. Recently, I experienced one of the most embarrassing and eye-opening moments of my life. Let me backtrack a bit. My husband, Jake, 29, and I welcomed our beautiful daughter, Tilly, three weeks ago.

Whenever I ask Tilly’s father for help, he says, “Let me relax; my paternity leave is so short.” I’ve struggled alone with sleepless nights, and things went too far last Saturday during a family gathering. As the party progressed, Jake was busy telling everyone, “I needed this paternity leave because I couldn’t imagine how much more exhausted I would have been working AND taking care of the baby.”

Exhausted, I fainted right there in the middle of the party. I awoke to concerned family members and Jake’s frown. He later exploded at home, annoyed that I embarrassed him, accusing me of making him “look bad!”

Just as I was about to leave for my mom’s place, my in-laws arrived with a professional nanny they had hired. “She’s here to help with the baby and to teach Jake about caring for her,” my MIL explained. They also insisted I go on a spa retreat for a week.

Overwhelmed by their kindness, I immediately agreed. The week was blissful and helped me recover. Back home, the changes were remarkable! The nanny had put Jake through a rigorous “baby boot camp.” He learned to change diapers, cook baby meals, soothe a crying baby, and manage a sleep schedule. Jake greeted me with a heartfelt apology, having sold his vintage guitars to pay for the nanny and my retreat, showing his commitment to our family.

ROYAL TRAGEDY. William and Kate are in shock.

When the Prince and Princess of Wales bought pizza for mountain rescue workers, they met a man selling pizza and wrote a touching funeral speech for him.

Father of two Peter Morris, who was 47 years old, died of cancer in May, not long after Kate was told she had it.

On notepaper from Kensington Palace, Prince William wrote his wife Tracey a letter of condolence. When he died, it was read.

“I can’t even begin to imagine what a huge hole he will leave in your life,” he wrote. “My heart goes out to you and your family.”

“Catherine and I had a great time meeting Pete.”

“We know Pete was a very dedicated and well-liked member of the community because of how people have responded to his death.”

“I wanted you to know that you and your family are thinking about you right now.”

In April of last year, Kate and Wills bought 12 pizzas from Peter’s converted VW van for £127.50. Peter is from Ebbw Vale in South Wales.

They gave the Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team a choice of pizzas while they were at Dowlais Rugby Club in Merthyr Tydfil. The pizzas were margarita, pepperoni, BBQ chicken, and goats cheese.

At the time, Peter said, “They were really nice.” When I was setting up the business, I never would have thought that one day I would work for the young king.

In 2016, Pete opened Little Dragon Pizza Van.

He had beaten esophageal cancer, but doctors found it in his adrenal gland and liver four months after he became a royal. He died in less than a year, but the business keeps going.

The letter from William will be framed for Pete’s daughters, who are eight and five years old.

Tracey, who is 40 years old, told The Sun, “It was a huge surprise.” I have no idea how they learned that Pete had died. Because Kate is getting help, it may have struck a chord with them.

“He talked about how normal they were.”

“Many people wrote to tell us they loved Pete, but the letter from William and Kate was the most lovely.”

William wrote his wife Tracey a letter of condolence on paper from Kensington Palace.
