INFLATION
I know she has my best interests at heart, and hers, and the baby’s, but ever since she gave birth, she’s become super-scared and cautious.
One beer, over an hour, with the boys after work, and a careful drive home in low traffic, does not constitute ‘Drinking And Driving!’
I even called last week, to tell her that I was stopping at 7-11 for bread on the way home. Five minutes late, and I got home barely in time to stop her from calling the FBI, reporting me kidnapped.
She certainly has a way of making mountains out of molehills!

It is a great responsibility being a mom. And the thing is…you love her more for all of this. Well done! 🙂

Yes we do love them all the more. 😀
Some people, not just women, or not just (new) moms, can get just a little too intense. 😯

I almost went the “mountain out of molehill” route. You did a much better job than I would have!

Your character is going to have an excellent opportunity to learn patience…and soothing tactics…and… Hopefully in a year she’ll be back to normal. 🙂

One certainly hopes so. If not, he may end up being a patient. 😯

This one made me laugh because of that last line. Sounds to this therapist like the new mom has some serious post-partum depression going on .

It may be a little more long-lasting than that, but…. Yeah, let’s go with post-partum. 😉 😯

Dear Archon,
I wonder what her side of this story is. Post-partum depression is tough to deal with…I guess for both parties. (Been there, done that…got three kids to prove it.)
Shalom,
Rochelle

That really is one anxious new mum. Hopefully, as the baby gets older and the worst doesn’t happen, she’ll chill a little.

Let’s hope that she chills before she graduates to calling the CIA, or he moves up to Jack Daniels. 😉 😯
