[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]She drove out to you while on bedrest and asked how to help you, and you asked her to clean your place? lol it's not surprising she declined.[/b] Either sit down and talk to her about how you feel and how you'd like to proceed, or accept that it's always going to be this way. Either way, you can do it without family support. I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but you can do this. [/quote]

np:  What were you and OP’s mother expecting OP to ask for?  I can’t think of anything OP would need with more than domestic chores![/quote]

Why cant OP DH clean and unpack? [/quote]

SHE ASKED HOW TO HELP!!!  Good lord what did she think her daughter would say?  Oh mom how about you just sit there and watch Netflix while I seethe with anxiety inside about all the things I can't physically do but desperately want to?  I'm not OP but man you people are so quick to judge.[/quote]

Oh, please. You think IP wants to desperately unpack? OP had a whole month to unpack, and did not. If OP and her DH didn't unpack in that time, why would anyone else? [/quote]

OP here. You seem to lack empathy or perhaps have been surrounded by people with perfect pregnancies. We moved into our home while renovations were being finished (which my husband took care of managing 100% of that) plus I had such horrible nausea and other health complications that I was very limited in what I could do.

I’m sure you understand how unpacking an entire home takes a backseat to managing basic daily needs.

Not that you deserved this explanation :)[/quote]

It’s ok, OP, we get it. People like the PP above are wired wrong. Ignore them.[/quote]
