[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The posters saying suck it up buttercup are pathetic. First baby was born in the US and it was awful. [b]Second baby I practiced the Chinese tradition of confinement where the mom and baby are taken care of by a confinement/night nanny for thirty days. [/b]What bliss. The only expectation was for me to rest. I was brought food and snacks and given massages. The baby was brought in for me to nurse and snuggle and then brought out again so I could sleep. I was so so much happier. This treatment blew my mind till I realized all my friends in Asia (middle class) regraded this as the norm. We treat women so badly in the states, better to spend money on family friendly policies than 34k ppd drugs. So those people suggesting you are a mom deal with it can go kick rocks.[/quote]

Yeah I don’t want to be institutionalized with my baby for 30 days. Hardly necessary for most moms without serious postpartum issues or twins.  I would assume there are other things about Chinese society (example - men not lifting a finger!) that result in the woman being sent off with her baby.  There is also the moron you leave your family behind as a woman when you marry.  You think a MIL is going to help?  [/quote]

Yeah no one in modern Chinese society is being institutionalized. During my “confinement” I was just waited on hand and foot like a princess but did whatever I wanted and so did my friends. Yes in olden times if you did not hire someone family members stepped up. My aunt did confinement for my mom when I was born.  So much better than you have a c section and two kids at home? Tough luck you are a mother.[/quote]
