[quote=Anonymous]op: I'm coping ok and I have a good dh. ILs live closer but are nearly 80. I didn't ask my parents to pay for college, to do any free child care, help with my house payment, etc, but I always thought my mom would do all she could to help if I had a true crisis. I continued to pay the full time nanny while my mom stayed, even though I had to use unpaid time from work. We had home care nursing for a while- I'm glad that's over, because it was intrusive. What I wanted from my mom was to provide a "mom substitute" in the evenings for my girls, so my dh could help me in the hospital - we had to travel to a more distant hospital to get specialty care. My son was raging, pulling out tubes and lines, we had to get a crib with a cage.[/quote]
