[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm incredibly independent - moved out at 17 and never lived at home again even for a summer. I wanted my mom there and cried when she had to leave.[/quote] Me too. I was really questioning if I wanted her there right away or to come after a few weeks, but she came right away from the Midwest and I'm so glad she did. I cried when she left. That said, my mom was ALL IN. Groceries and cooking (including freezer meals for after she left), laundry (ours and babies'), night feedings (daytime too), the works. My MIL is local, but I couldn't count on her for much more than holding babies. We had twins, FWIW, though my DH was on leave for the first several weeks as well - I might have felt differently or needed less support if it was one baby, but I think I would have appreciated the help either way as a FTM.
