When you’ve just given birth to triplets, the last thing you expect is for your partner to suggest leaving them behind at the hospital. But as strange as it sounds, there might be a heartwarming or humorous reason behind his request—and trust us, this story has plenty of twists!
What Happened?
After days of waiting in the hospital with our newborn triplets, my husband finally arrived to bring us home. Exhausted but excited, I gathered the babies, their supplies, and myself, ready to start this new chapter together as a family. However, when we reached the car, he stopped me.
“Why don’t you leave the triplets here?” he suggested with a straight face.
At first, I was confused—and maybe a little hurt. Hadn’t he been eagerly counting down the days until we could all be together? Was he overwhelmed by the thought of caring for three infants at once?
But then, he explained…
The Surprising Reason Behind His Request
It turns out, my husband wasn’t being serious—or cruel. Instead, he had an ulterior motive: practicality . He wanted me to rest on the ride home without worrying about juggling three car seats, blankets, bottles, and everything else that comes with triplet care.
He reasoned, “If we take one baby home today, another tomorrow, and the third later this week, you’ll get more sleep!” Of course, he wasn’t actually planning to split up the family—he was simply trying to lighten the mood and prepare me (and himself) for the whirlwind ahead.
