One time thing or weekly? Big difference

Might be some postpartum issues. Your wife is taking it out on your mother.
Is her mother in the picture? Part of the problem could be her mother is some distance away or has passed away, and she’s taking out her frustrations of missing her own mother onto yours.

My mom…now deceased…lived about 2.5 hrs away. If my wife called my mom and asked her to come take care of her newborn grandchild for a couple of days, my mom would have been at our door in an hour.
Yes my mom and my wife loved and liked each other.

Once a week until he is ready for daycare

How old is your mother? How many grandchildren does she have? What else is going on in her life? Job? Health issues?
Most grandmothers would drop everything to take care of a grand baby. The only issue I see is if it’s for an extended time.
Are we talking about 4-5 hours once a week, or 8-10 hours?

Once a week for 2 nights? Even once a week for a day is a lot. When will the baby be ready for daycare? Most take infants starting at 6 weeks. It’s hard for me to imagine taking my baby to daycare that young, but if you or your wife have to return to work quickly, it’s an option.

In her defense she lives in NOLA and we live in BR. We asked her to come up and spend the night and watch for two days
And your wife hates her for declining? I can understand being disappointed but that’s over the top. Your wife sounds entitled.

My wife currently hates my mom because she does not want to take care of our newborn. Any tips?
Are you related to me? I have a cousin in the same position

what's so important that you and the wife are ditching a newborn baby for two days?
Posted on 9/10/24 at 5:55 pm to Ghost of Colby
He has already said come for 2 days and stay the night. Follow along
Posted on 9/10/24 at 5:56 pm to GeauxZone90
No wonder she told yall no. That’s shitty to expect her to come for two day and stay the night EVERY week.
Your wife gets maternity leave. When maternity leave is over, put the baby in daycare like everyone else does.

If she lives in a separate city multiple hours away and you are expecting her to come once a week then that's a bit much. If you are expecting that level of grandparent help you should be living in the same city as her.
Asking for a weekend is one thing, every week is a completely other level.

Mother is deceased but they were wonderful together and to one another

Kind of crazy you and your wife simply expect this of your mom.
I have a 2 year old and am a month from a second kid and I would never try to force this hand.

I don't want it. My wife does
Posted on 9/10/24 at 6:05 pm to GeauxZone90
What's the alternative?
It's only 2 days? Is it just to give your wife a break? Does she actually have to go back to work?

My mother and my wife get along extremely well. I feel sorry for guys whose wife and MIL don't get along.
