[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Give OP a break. She works full time, has a preschooler and is PREGNANT. I know everyone's pregnancy is different but when I was pregnant, I was so tired. I needed lots of help and was not afraid to ask for it. I have had a mix of both paid and family help and I can tell you that paid help is soooooooooooooo much better. Both my mom and MIL have a lot of advice and comments along with their help.

Can you afford PT help? I would think you could use all the help you can get (during pregnancy and maybe the first yr of the new baby's life).[/quote]

Who forced you to get pregnant?  Oh, no one.  Your problem so hire someone and stop using family as your personal slave.  You ate pregnant by choice and you already knew the associated discomforts.[/quote]

Not pp but aren't you a witch. No one is saying that in laws deserve to be treated like slaves, geez. I also grew up in a culture where parents help with child care and the kids take the adult parents in when they are elderly. Is it so horrible to ask FAMILY for a little help??? If my in laws needed me, I would be there asap and vice versa. [/quote]
