[quote=Anonymous]First baby, DH was kind of out of sorts, and neither of us knew how he could help. I was recovering, plus wearing/feeding the baby 24/7, he didn't know how to cook or clean or even do laundry, nor did it occur to him to help, so it was a lot (his parents were not much of a team, they were at each other a lot). I was perpetually starving because of nursing. His mom came over, but was really just rude to me, and wanted me to leave my house, but I was too exhausted to drive, so I refused. I definitely had the feeling she had negative birth experiences, and I am fairly sure her husband was not present. Subsequent babies we were more established and able to hire a person to help, which made all the difference. That person was even there for us when we were in the hospital, which was tremendous - we are obviously still close. [/quote]
