[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guess what, for all of human history women have had help when they had babies. Even 24/7 help! The idea of doing is solo is an American concept born out of our puritanical and pioneer heritage. As we speak women all over the world have help with their newborns and older kids. Yet we look down on that here because we're conditioned to, and because childcare is so expensive it's a luxury. It's expensive because on top of this we don't value women's labor in this country. Do it and don't give it a second thought. There's no prize for being sleep deprived despite what some martyrs would have you think. You will be a better and more present mom when you're well rested and have help. [/quote] +1 I am Indian and my parents moved here for 6 months to help when I had my baby. In-laws came once they left. All of their own volition. I work full time and baby now goes to daycare but it is so helpful to have extra helping hands at home.[/quote]
