[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I'm sorry. No one brought us food either. Not. a. single. meal. We have no family around. And friends dropped by to see baby, but no food. I chalked it up to being in a city where people have no manners (in the South, you can't sneeze without someone bringing you a casserole). I spent my whole life doing the "right" thing, writing every thank you note, bringing meals, etc and then then when it was my turn (and this wasn't the first time, I had a previous surgery where no one turned up) and no one showed up, I realized not everyone is as into friends as I was and I just let go. Now I have a neighbor who has a 3 week old, and eh, I'll get to her when I get to her. Maybe not the the best attitude to have, but I no longer bend over backwards for everyone else. Life lesson for me. We subsisted on many sandwiches, takeout, frozen waffles, pizza, etc for months. And it made us stronger. No matter what life throws at us, we'll be ok. I know that doesn't make things easier right now for you, but you're going to be ok!

I'm from the South too. And my friends get my macaroni and cheese after they have babies. Plenty of calcium for nursing![/quote]
