[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]7 hours. In a car. With a 3 week old?! Not ONE person said “hey, this seems like a bad idea?” Wtf. You win the thread. I’m so sorry, PP.[/quote] Babe, it was 7 hours each way. I am not winning anything here. And actually in retrospect it was definitely more than 7 hours total of travel time because she was an infant and I was nursing and did not have the hang of pumping (or really anything) at that time, so I remember having to stop multiple times both ways so I could nurse. I sat in the back with the baby and was just kind of catatonic the whole time. Thinking about it is upsetting me, I think I'm going to have to leave this thread. But yeah, I have some big feelings about the expectations placed on brand new moms to make their babies available to eager grandparents as rapidly as possible regardless of the mother's actual needs. I am team mom on this one no matter what.[/quote]
