[quote=Anonymous]When I had a newborn and lived overseas, my dad came to help me for the first two months. I caught lots of side eye from other new moms and even my ILs (who lived where we were). But I was high risk for PPA/PPD and having my dad there meant I got more sleep during the day, I didn’t feel quite as anxious or isolated and I could still eat well/shower/take some long walks. It saved my sanity and made me a better mom to my baby, which is all that matters. If you can afford that help and it’s best for your family, that’s all that matters. Try to shrug off any judgment (or distance from anyone you feel is judging you) and just enjoy that you have this option. There are no medals earned for toughing it out and making yourself exhausted and miserable if you don’t have to.[/quote]
