[quote=Anonymous]Wow, am I the only who was grateful for my MIL coming not once, but TWICE, to help out after the baby was born? I had the house professionally cleaned before she arrived so that our focus could be on taking care of the baby. Just being able to hand the baby off to her while I went to get a shower or even go to the store to get my pain med prescription was a tremendous help. Her being there that first week allowed my husband to work most of the week after the baby was born and, as a result, he was able to be home the 2nd week which was so necessary. I would not be pushy about helping a new mom and I would take the hint and leave if necessary. But I also would not assume that all new moms and dads don't want help. Many do![/quote]
