[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I'm an experienced parent and had a baby a few months ago. I do agree with keeping baby from germs-I've really kept this one in, much more so than with my (considerably) older kids when they were babies. So I get that.

I do think the OPs SIL's email was way over the top-not so much the basic gist of it (they want to limit visitors, need some help with the house and have dietary restrictions)...moreso how SIL presented it. She came off as very entitled and presumptious. If I had gotten that email, I'd probably feel as though I really didn't need to see her snowflake self so much...

I guess for me, I simply didn't encourage visitors, I accepted whatever househelp was offered, and I welcomed meals-if it's not something you can or will eat, just get rid of it. I didnt find it necessary to send a long, presumptious email.

Same here. Especially during this flu and cold season. It's nuts with sick days at the office, playgroups and classes/school. I wouldn't dare go visit a child under age two who has no immune system nor shots. Only if I were in tip top shape and really cared to see the new mom, dad and child. [/quote]
