[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While expectations may vary across cultures, in no culture is a postpartum mom expected to care for her in-laws right after she has had a baby. It is absolutely unacceptable across all cultures and socioeconomic groups to expect anything from a postpartum mom unless you are her baby. Anywhere in the world, OP's MIL is out of line. She should not come over right after a birth unless it is to serve the new mom. [/quote] This, end of story. There are also cultures in the world where a person who did this would simply be packed up and removed from the house. Not meanly, she could come back later when the baby was older and the mother was fully recovered. But she would not be permitted to sit in the house and make demands of the new mom, who would be being cared for by friends and family members, and deferred to with special status for having just done one of the most important things a human being can do -- bring a new life into the world.[/quote]
