[quote=Anonymous]My mom felt the same too and wanted to take care of us. Dh and I both only wanted him to take care of us. (Nothing against my mom). I think it’s a new generation of men that want a role and see their role as the caretaker of their new family postpartum. I was surprised to see that tension there after birth and also that both their points were valid in my opinion. It was rational for a mother to care for her daughter and grandchild. But dh came first and it was him that I would be relying on for the rest of my life to be an involved parent. We had our 4 parents visit us in the hospital the day following birth. Dhs parents never returned that first year (no clue why? They just hate traveling) but my parents helped us often and brought us dinners occasionally and kept me company. [/quote]
