I was home with my newborn when the doorbell rang, right in the middle of pumping. I never answer it, so I just kept going. 5 minutes later, I heard a stranger talking to my husband downstairs. Then he stormed up the stairs, grabbed the baby, and said, \u201cSorry, I didn\u2019t know they were coming!\u201d<\/p>\n
I\u2019m like, \u201cWhat? Who is it?\u201d and he explains that his boss and his wife are at the door with a baby gift. I respond with \u201cOkay\u201d since I\u2019m still attached to the pump machine. I finish up, then head to the bathroom to put on lotion. A couple of minutes later, my husband comes back upstairs, visibly upset, because I didn\u2019t come down to greet them and accept their gift.<\/p>\n
I told him I didn\u2019t realize I needed to or that they were staying. He says it was very rude of me and that I\u2019m a jerk for, first, not answering the door and, second, not coming down after he told me. He said they were asking him where I was and what I was doing, which made things awkward for him.<\/p>\n
Edit to clarify:<\/strong>\u00a0my husband wasn\u2019t home when they arrived. He got home five minutes after they did, and they were still standing at the door,<\/p>\n Did I mess up by not answering the door while I was pumping with my newborn? Was I wrong to stay upstairs and not greet my husband\u2019s boss and wife? Or was it just a misunderstanding? What would you have done?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was home with my newborn when the doorbell rang, right in the middle of pumping.
