Still, she did her best to have her little one well-fed and leave the place spotless. On top of everything, she ran errands and made dinner every single day.<\/p>\n<p>Her husband, John, thought it would be nice if his mother moved in with them for some time and help with the housework. Hearing his words, Jenna felt a sense of relief. She was aware that it truly takes a village to raise a child, and her mother-in-law seemed like the right person to be around.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, what Jenna didn\u2019t know was that her MIL\u2019s presence would bring more trouble than comfort.<br \/>\nDuring the first days of her stay, the MIL started inviting guests over. Not only she wasn\u2019t offering any help, but she also added an additional layer of stress to Jenna\u2019s everyday struggles.<\/p>\n<p>Between changing diapers, breastfeeding her sweet bundle of joy, and soothing him to sleep, she could barely find the time to eat anything.<\/p>\n<p>It was her MIL who was supposed to take care of the dinner, and Jenna felt at least she wouldn\u2019t spend much time in the kitchen, but one night, as she put the baby to sleep and went downstairs, she noticed there wasn\u2019t any food left for her. Her MIL, nonchalantly said, \u201cWell, you didn\u2019t come down, so we assumed you weren\u2019t hungry.\u201d These words cut deeper than Jenna\u2019s actual hunger.<\/p>\n<p>Things took even worse turn when John didn\u2019t react at his mom\u2019s words. On top of that, he demanded Jenna to clean the mess and wash the dishes, saying she wasn\u2019t doing anything anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Jenna was hurt so deep that she finally decided to confront John and his mother. But they accused her of being lazy and started yelling at her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being a first-time mom, Jenna found it hard to balance between taking care of her newborn baby and having everything done around the house.
