[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We recently had a baby, and I'm completely flabbergasted that nobody (family) who visited the baby in the first days (other than my own parents) brought us food or even offered to bring us a freezer meal.

I'm NOT trying to sound like this is expected. But I'm a little confused. My parents came to visit right away, bringing us lunch that first day home. It was wonderfully received. We were all starved! That same evening, my ILs and DH grandparents came at dinner time, and not one person brought food or suggested food or ordered food. My DH figured out pizza while I struggled to get situated with a new baby. Other family came in the following days, but not one meal.

I've always assumed everyone fed the new parents. That's what I've always done! You visit, you bring a dish. Right? Are my hormones just raging, or is this crazy! Talk me down![/quote]

Honestly sometimes people assume "everyone else" will bring food and no one does, that very thing happened to my sister and she was so upset. But many of her friends told her later they really though others were doing it and didn't want her to have too much. Also depends on your circle of friends. Congrats though on your new baby![/quote]
