Postpartum vasectomy

I am 7 weeks postpartum and my husband just had a vasectomy. Why is he getting more rest and recovery right now than I ever did after birth? Why are women just expected to keep going after doing something so physically traumatic? Why do we act like it’s no big deal just because so many people go through it.

Three days after I gave birth the man had the audacity to question why I didn’t want to take the baby to the park for fresh air. And now that same man can’t get out of bed because he is in too much pain.
