Question for parents of newborns -

[Anonymous]

I'd love to send my friend some freezer meals since they just had a baby. Any suggestions of good places to order from that you liked? thanks!

I didn't want freezer meals. DH made a ton of soup and that was basically the only "freezer meal" I ate.

Just ask your friend what you can send for a dinner that she and her family would like.

Pick the food delivery company you hate the least and send your friend a giftcard.

If you're in DC, I'd do a gift card to Galley Foods.

Send your friend a nice robe. Prepared foods are so easy to get now. No one wants frozen food.

I would rather my friends invite me over or bring dinner over than a freezer meal. Why don't friends want to visit with me and my newborn? Stop dropping off frozen food.

If you were my friend, I'd like you to ask me what I'd like/need at this time, and then do that thing. Not ask a bunch of internet people who don't know me what they think I'd like.

Honestly, I'll accept them politely but I had no need for either freezer meals or "one handed snacks" after having a child.

+1. Nobody wants a freezer meal.

I wish the custom was to send people who are 38 weeks pregnant freezer meals instead of newborn people. Once the baby is out I am FREE. But that last month of third tri is an agonizing slog.

Ask them what they want. I would not have wanted freezer meals as we don't really eat frozen foods. I'd want easy to reheat or salads.

38 weeks pregnant, still working, and totally losing it here...yeah. With you. (It's not my first so i don't want to hear any "just wait until the baby's here" - at least then no one will be expecting me to metro to work and back every day.)

That said, wow y'all are ingrates. I'm always appreciative of ANY help people offer unprompted, even if it's not my first choice of a meal I didn't prepare myself.

Ask them. Or get a gift certificate to a local place that delivers (or Uber eats if you prefer).

Exactly.
