[quote=Anonymous]Neither my mom nor my ILs were helpful. My mom was a “just want to snuggle the baby”/“what’s for dinner” type, and my ILs were helpful on their terms- unloading the dishwasher at 4 am after we’d just fallen asleep, walking into my bedroom when I was half dressed to “check on me”, telling me all about their friends’ grandchildren and how they did things better or differently than I did. I couldn’t walk, like Pp, so I was stuck and reliant on DH and these people for basic needs. DH was a passive wimp about the entire thing and it set the tone for our marriage. No surprise; divorcing now. My mom came around and found her way. MIL remains a meddling you-know-what and DH remains a passive baby who is letting mom run around and give him legal advice and tell him how much custody he wants and pay for fancy attorneys. How people act when you are at you most vulnerable is who they are. Take note![/quote]
