I am really struggling with this and feeling really bitter and hurt. I am able to admit this was partially my fault, but I expected more support from him. <br><br>A little back story, my husband and I are parents to 3 kids: an 11 year old daughter, a 3 year old daughter, and a 6 week old baby girl. I am currently breastfeeding the 6 week old, and have been exclusively pumping to have bottles of breastmilk in the fridge/freezer for when I am away from the kids and can't breastfeed her. We currently live in an apartment and have one car that my husband uses for work. I drive the kids around in my car. <br><br>Now I am not saying what I did was right, but with the holiday season, our apartment's washing machine has been acting up (but still washing) and its been extremely busy with appointments and such for our kids, I have been very lazy with washing the breastmilk bottles. They have been sitting in a bucket filled with soapy water for the last week (since before Christmas). That was my fault. I should have washed them constantly. <br><br>On to the issue at hand, the milk had gone bad and rotted and began to grow mold and smell bad. I have no clue how long it has been like that. The bottles were in the bucket in the fridge to keep it cold. The other day, I pulled them out and put them in the dishwasher to sanitize. I forgot it was bad and didn't think about the dishwasher and it made a huge mess and my dishwasher smelled awful. <br><br>I tried multiple dishwasher cleaning tablets and washing it multiple times to get rid of the smell. Nothing worked. My parents came over to visit and saw the mess from the dishwasher and my dad went off on me about it. He absolutely went after me and made me feel so bad. He told me I was so gross and needed to get my life together and take better care of my babies and house and how disgusting it was. <br><br>So my husband came home from work and before he said anything to me, he let my dad go on and on and on and berate me. Once my dad was done, my husband stepped in to say something to me and then my dad jumped in and said, "yes, this is all your fault". <br><br>It took my husband a while to defend me, but not before he let my dad berate me and tell him he was right. So yeah, that what happened and I am so hurt and angry at my husband. He is my partner, he should have defended me and stood up for me instead of throwing me under the bus. He hasn't apologized for it either.
