[quote=Anonymous]Think about what your mom is like. My mom happened to be in town 24 hours after I had DD a month early. She "did" my laundry by putting it in them washer down the hall and then leaving. She "helped" by suggesting we go shopping 48 hours post partum. She provided meals by calling and ordering food from restaurants that didn't have delivery, but then saying she wasn't comfortable driving in DC. That left either me or my DH who had just started driving at the time to get it. They left when DD was about 4 days old. We were exhausted and called MIL. She slept on our sofa, did middle of the night bottles when I pumped, cleaned and grocery shopped etc. She stayed for 5 nights and it gave us a fresh start. It also got us through a period of bad jaundice and she's a nurse, so it was really helpful. [/quote]
