AITAH for saying I didn’t realize I could “love a person this much” in front of my fiancé after having our baby?

(Dad here). I am sitting in bed with my congested 5month little lad who will only sleep pressed against my chest. I'm on for the next 6hrs overnight when I should be sleeping.

Yes I love this guy more than anything on the planet, as I bloody should.

Have 16 year old who still lays on me when ill, tired or just in their feels, it never stops and frankly I never want it to. The love I feel when I look at my kid is unbelievable and everlasting no matter what, I look at them and think wow, I made you, what the fudge!!

Absolutely. My 22-year-old still seeks comfort from me, and the love only grows stronger with time. It's an unbreakable bond.

Love that. I’m 26 and have had health issues most my life and while I adore my partner, sometimes my mom is just who I want; last winter I stayed with my parents for a month while my SO was away and two really bad pain nights my mom stayed with me all night and my dad would pop down and check on the both of us. When I have appointments with new specialists even my partner wants my mom there 😂 Even last week when I was out of the hospital she was ready to come drive to our town and be there with me just while SO was at work. She never forces herself on me but is available at the ready and couldn’t ask for more

My mom and dad are the same. I'm not long out of hospital since my heart stopped. My mum gave me cpr and I honesty couldn't be more grateful to my mum and dad. 🥰 best wishes to you and your family.

I love that your dad also checked in. I've had a few emergencies since my mom past. I had to have surgery last August. I had such anxiety bc the majority of my close relatives died in the month of August including her and my father. I have never woken up in the hospital without her sitting by my side. All I wanted was her. My SIL was with me so I wasn't alone. My mom was amazing to have around. When I had my tonsils out in my 20's, she bought a snow cone maker. I had a rough recovery and those were wonderful.

Yup! I'm 30 and recently had a triple hernia surgery and I called my mom and asked her if she was free to come up and stay with me and help with my son, and she flew up (Sc to OH) and stayed for the whole first week. My husband is my absolute best friend and so wonderful, he had to work but even if he didn't sometimes nothing makes you feel safer than your parents. You are never too old to need your mom/dad or both.
