[quote=Anonymous]I was basically abandoned by friends and family after my first baby was born. I had people drop casseroles on my front porch and no one would come in, even when I invited them. Over and over everyone kept saying they didn't want to bother us. I couldn't even believe it. My family and inlaws had been ALL OVER us at the hospital, but they left before we got home. It was one of the loneliest times in my life and I couldn't figure out why no one wanted to meet up for lunch, come over to eat dinner with us or see my baby. I assume my family and friends had just been told by other moms that they should be cooking and cleaning for new moms and no one wanted to do that (that was NOT what I wanted, I wanted someone to shop with!) My solution was to meet up with mom's groups daily, mom fitness classes, and stroller strides. I adored seeing all their babies and they liked seeing mine. [/quote]
