[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m coming right to the source to ask your opinion!

We will be visiting friends who just had a baby, and we don’t want to show up empty *food* handed. In speaking, they casually mentioned that they are inundated with prepared foods and casseroles that they don’t know what to do with because their older kids aren’t interested, they can’t keep up, etc.

I was thinking of bringing either quick breakfast-type foods (bagels and cream cheese, muffins) or protein-rich snack-y type foods (chips and guacamole, pita and hummus, etc.)

In this instance, what would you have loved to receive? Or, what was well received? [/quote]

Your friends are both ungrateful and stupid.  The can freeze casseroles for later use.   If, like so many DCUM twits who think their neighbors and friends want to poison them and refuse to eat what people bring them, then call a local church that provides free meals to homeless.[/quote]

It’s not ungrateful nor stupid. They can appreciate the thoughts and efforts of others and still feel overwhelmed by the food contributions. Freezer space may be limited, or maybe the food isn’t to their dietary preferences. And figuring out what to do with extra food is the last thing a new mom needs to worry about. The kindest thing you can do is take the hint and not bring them food.[/quote]

It is rude to bring unwanted food. This is rude, especially with a postpartum mom.
