My Mother Went Back Home After Just One Day Because of My Husband’s Hurtful Words: “Mom, please don’t kiss my baby on the face like that, it’s not sanitary…”

My mom went back home, and all I could do was sit and cry. After hearing that I had given birth, she arranged everything at home so she could come to the city and help me take care of the baby.

She had only arrived yesterday, but by this morning, she was already packing her things to leave.

I grew up in the countryside, but I married a man from the city. Since my husband’s family is large and well-off, right after the wedding we bought our own place.

My husband is generally a good man, but he’s very particular about food, clothing, and cleanliness — so meticulous that it can sometimes make others feel uncomfortable.

As his wife, I’ve had to change a lot, slowly giving up my “carefree countryside” habits. But I always told myself those were good qualities in him that I should learn from.

When I was close to giving birth, my husband mentioned that since his mother was still working, he would hire someone to help me during my recovery. But I insisted that my mom would arrange things back home so she could stay with me for about a month.

He said, “It’s fine if your mom just visits, but I don’t want to trouble her.” Still, because it was important to me, he agreed.

Three days after I gave birth, my mom arrived. Just the thought of having her by my side during those first weeks brought tears of relief to my eyes.

But that happiness didn’t last long.
