[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a meal train is nice ¯\_(?)_/¯

They went a little over the top with the recipes, but that just seems misguided, not rudely entitled to me. Just because some folks on this board didn't need or want help (or their mothers or grandmothers didn't) doesn't mean that NO ONE deserves help.[/quote]

I think his request comes off as a bit self centered. He strikes me as someone who hasn't lifted a finger in his life for anyone else and suddenly now that he and his wife are having a baby and things are going to get crazy hectic for them - MEAL TRAIN time.

That is not to say that a casserole or two dropped off by friends/family/neighbors aren't appreciated.  But organizing a meal train for yourself complete with recipes?  It just seems a little over the top....

Why not take the time to make and freeze some food before the baby is born if this is such a concern for you?  Ah well.  Another possibility is that he was fully anticipating people to be dropping off dishes that they wouldn't like or stopping by unannounced to offer help....and he was trying to prevent that from happening in the nicest possible way.  Better to come across as misguided than ungrateful.[/quote]
