Being a mother is difficult, but it is also the most gratifying job on the planet. When you see your children happy and healthy, all of the sleepless nights, unending washing, and constant fussing will be worth it. However mothers too are human beings who at times need to take a break and just have that 5 mins of fresh air of mins of ‘me’ time. Read this story to know what happened with this mother of triplets and what would you do in this situation?

I (20) am a mother of triplets who are only 2 months old. I never expected ever in my life that I’d be a mother to triplets so when I first became pregnant it was definitely the last thing on my mind.
I’m home with my babies all day long and had to even transfer my education to online.
Sometimes I just need some fresh air especially when I can’t get them to stop crying and I find myself getting super frustrated to the point of tears, it’s honestly so hard and the dad isn’t here to help as he’s either at work or at school. My fiance’s (24) parents rented us a main floor apartment so when I step outside I’m literally just sitting on the chair right beside the door plus I have a baby monitor step up in their room and it has a camera on it I can literally see them and hear them so if anything happened I’d be able to quickly get to them.
Being able to step outside for a few minutes to take a breather is really important to me because I start to have mini panic attacks when I can’t get them to stop crying and I get really frustrated because I just feel super overwhelmed, Being able to go outside just gives me a chance to calm down.
My fiance came home to me sitting outside while the babies were crying and freaked out on me calling me a horrible mom and a bunch of other names that I’m not gonna list here. He thinks that I was being super neglectful and putting the babies in harm’s way and even told his parents and now everyone seems to be really against me.
I grew up in the system. My fiance’s family is the only family I have ever known so it breaks my heart that they are so upset with me but I really don’t think I was doing anything wrong or putting my babies in harm’s way but they seem to think otherwise.
So here I am wondering if I should apologize for my actions or if I am the A-hole in this situation.
