[quote=Anonymous]And this is why I’m telling family that we’re quarantining with no visitors for 4-8 weeks after baby #2 is born due to COVID. This type of “help” is what broke me after our first child was born. I offered explicit instructions of ways they could be helpful (wash a bottle or unload the dishwasher, etc). But all they wanted to do was hold the baby or give a bottle (that I had to pump) and wait to eat until I sat with them (sitting on a hard chair at a dining table is the last thing I wanted to do postpartum. Just leave me in peace on the soft couch!) The rules for visiting a newborn is to bring food and leave within the hour unless you’re really willing to just clean the kitchen while the new parents rest. [/quote]
