[quote=Anonymous]i think its hard when the two sides of the family have different versions of helping. 
when my parents came to visit after the baby was born it was like a team of cinderellas helping us get things done because baby showed up a month early and we had a lot to do. my in laws didn't show up until a month or so after the baby was born and we needed to run to one store and the grocery store and my mil acted like we were never going to have enough time to get everything done. they didn't help clean or cook.
i also think its easier to ask your own parents for things than it is for you to ask in laws, unless you are really bonded and close with the in laws. so i can imagine as you sit there sick with a sick baby, it is hard to not compare how much more help you would have received if your parents had been the ones in town instead of your in laws. i try to focus on the things that my in laws do that my parents don't when i am frustrated in a situation like yours. although, it is not easy and i am not always successful![/quote]
