[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think if a family member asks to stay at a new mom’s house in the week post partum she’s required to help in some way?

I’m asking because MIL stayed for a week a day after I had our baby and didn’t get me a glass of water, didn’t cook a single meal or help in any way and I thought it was really rude. [/quote]

Oh Jesus can we go for five minutes without bashing a mother in law?  Does anyone have any new material?

If MILs (and mothers, as is apparent from this thread) would please stop doing these extremely rude and entitled things, I'm sure the complaining would stop.

The fact that so many women have stories of their MILs being entitled horrors in the weeks after the birth of their first child should tell you something. I know there are MILs who aren't like this, but whew there are plenty that are like this and they should be called out if only to send a message to future generations that this is a surefire way to make your DIL freaking hate you.[/quote]
