[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of us who had c-sections and difficulty breastfeeding.  I also think it's safe to say that most new moms suffer from exhaustion and incredible emotional mood swings.  However, how many people do you that would send out an e-mail like this?  Out of the hundreds of moms I know, I can't think of a single one.  SIL sounds like a real piece of work!  I can't imagine asking anyone- other than someone I hire- to do chores for me.  Even if someone asked how they could help, I don't think I'd ask them to do household chores.

OP, I don't pity your SIL, I pity you for having this diva in your life.  Hopefully you have sisters (or other SILs) who you can laugh with about this![/quote]

Yes, I had c-sections and difficulty bfding.  But Op seems really unsympathetic - "Buck up and quit your whining."  She sounds sort of like a tough old bird type.  Sort of gruff and not very understanding.  But maybe there's a history here that we don't know about?  [/quote]

OP here.

I'm assuming people are taking other responses as mine.  I've responded four times to this thread.  I never once stated that she needs to "buck up and deal".  I am sympathetic to her because I've been in that situation.  I was planning on doing a lot of what she wanted, but the e-mail turned me off. If she had rules, she should call and tell people one by one.  It really does seem entitled, and that's not unlike her at all.

She sent this out to her family and my (her husbands) family.  She sent a copy to my grandmother who is pushing 90, what the fuck does she think she can do?  [/quote]
