[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. I begged him to take off work so I wouldn't have to watch siblings and do housework until literally hours before giving birth and he did not. My last baby, I went in at 4pm for a MFM appt with DH on speaker phone (DH still working), was offered repeat C vs TOLAC due to oligohydramnios immediately. I had PPD and birth trauma with my first. I knew something was wrong and literally begged my husband not to leave me alone all day with the baby. He did starting 3 days post partum. To be honest it damaged our marriage and the experience makes me really disgusted with my mother and MIL and their laziness and selfishness. I will not be doing this to my daughter or DIL. If you have funds, hire a doula. Your DH will be equally useless post partum. [/quote]

What does you decision to have a baby have to do with your mom and mother in law?  Why are you disgusted with them?[/quote]
Because a new baby is an unreasonable amount of work for only 2 people. Only Western societies do this to new moms. Boomers know what its like to have a baby and they all got help from their greatest gen parents. They both have second families, career reboots. Don't care about anybody but themselves. [/quote]
