Am I the one being unreasonable?

No this is not unreasonable. Your baby is still a newborn and being away from you, the mom, for an entire 24 hours is quite intense. You both will get your life back but it’ll be different and perhaps dare I say better! Just give it time. You’re both in the newborn trenches rn

I say better, too! He has to give it more time. I'm surprised my MIL didn't look at him crazy when he brought it up to her. That seems like a red flag a bit. Maybe a yellow flag for someone struggling with being a new parent and rather their mental health is intact.

I’m sorry you’re having to deal with this. I’d be livid if my husband suggested sending our newborn off once a week for a full day. I was separated from my 1 week old for 3 hours the other day so I could go to my doctors appointment and run errands… I missed her so much. Literally thought about her the entire time and was on the verge of tears wanting to snuggle her. I’m more than a little upset for you that he said, “get our lives back.” This is your lives now. It’s gonna adjust along the way but it’s the new normal. He needs to step up and accept that.

It's heartbreaking. I know he was trying to help but I almost want to say how could you suggest a thing? And how could she think that is a normal request.
