Let him try staying at home for just a couple of days while you have some time away & he’ll soon change his tune ! You are doing everything right. Don’t take any of his criticism or that of his parents who should be offering to help instead of criticising you.

You’re doing nothing wrong. I had only 1 baby and had to do this. It’s better for you to have a breather for a moment than have a panic attack that’s worse for both you and your babies.

I think all mums have done this in some form or another!
The babies were safe and she is taking time to regather herself, the alternate option of her losing control is a much higher risk to the babies!!
I think she needs support and the finance and his family should help her with this.

Why don’t your soon to be in- laws help you

Oh my gosh mumma! Far from neglectful!! You are being a responsible mum and taking care of your mental health as well as your three babies. I am a mum of twins and I can tell you now, we have all done it!!!!!! I’m sure even most mums of singletons have done it. Shame on those who have said such cruel things to you. Maybe they need to step in and have the trio solo for an extended time and they will 100% be eating their words!

Keep taking those moments for you to breathe and collect yourself. Babies and safe, you are near and you are filling your cup ready to soothe them some more.
It is so hard having one, two and especially three people screaming in your face when you are doing everything you can to soothe them. You got this MUMMA!

Please don’t listen to them I realise it’s hard my grandmother had 13 triplets and twins she always told me it doesn’t hurt to let them cry for a little bit, but don’t put yourself down we’ve all been through it and are here for you

I’m a mum of triplets and I’ve done what you have done. Mum of one or a mum of 3 doesn’t matter. You are doing the best you can and don’t let anyone make you think otherwise.

What she is doing is completely right and she should not feel bad. You can pour from an empty cup.
People need a breather.
If babies are safe, they can cry for a couple minutes while she regathers herself.
Frustration boiling over is so dangerous, especially on top of sleep deprivation & TRIPLETs at that.
He should put himself in her shoes and I believe his stance would be completely different.

It’s tough and a break is important. You’re doing the best you can and your fiancé and in-laws need to help more and be more understanding.

I felt guilty for once leaving my daughter in the bedroom crying whilst going to another room for about a minute to try and take a breather and come back in more relaxed. That was the only 1 occasion where she cried for an extended period, about an hour and nothing I did would help I think she was starting to teeth. Triplets crying at the same time.. I can’t imagine. Whilst I wouldn’t condone leaving children to cry if you have already been trying to comfort them with no relief and the stress is building it seems it may be more beneficial than harmful as your babies need you to be strong, so take that breather, feel the deep still quiet peace within and then return to those babies full of love and patience.

Tell them to not be so harsh. Would they prefer you having a complete meltdown and not been there at all. Maybe they should be looking at solutions to help you out and not belittle you. How dare they.

I don’t think she’s wrong. Look, ideally we’d all hover near our kids for every moment. In reality, that can’t and doesn’t happen. She’s made sure the babies are safe, she’s not actually far away and is still monitoring them, and her being calm is best for the babies. I think she’s looking after everyone in a sensible way.

every mumma needs a break!

I only had one at the time but when it got to me I walked right up the back of the yard for 10 minutes a few times when it was getting to me. Absolutely nothing wrong, literally just in another room.

I honestly dont see any difference between this, and parents who use the ‘cry it out’ method for settling. sometimes you just need to take a break for yourself because the babies will sense if youre feeling worked up and it will escalate the situation. I wouldnt feel the need to appologise. as the main care giver you need to keep yourself together as best you can or the whole family falls apart!
