Things got tense when I told my brother's wife that staying home with the baby doesn't mean staying in bed 24/7. Every visit, I found her scrolling her phone while the house was a mess and my brother struggled to manage the baby and chores. My concern led to a blunt comment—one she didn't take well.
Here's the story: My brother works 40–50 hours a week and comes home to chaos. Meanwhile, his wife stays in bed watching Netflix, rarely helping out. I ended up helping clean, feed the baby, and calm things down. When I finally asked if she was okay, she said she was just exhausted. I snapped and said, "Being at home doesn't mean always being in bed scrolling and watching TV." She broke down and my brother's now upset with me for hurting her.
People in the comments suggested she might have postpartum depression. Some say I overstepped, others think my concern was valid. Should I have handled things differently? Was I insensitive, or was the situation out of control?
What do you think—was I the asshole here, or was I right to speak up?
