[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly the loneliness of that first month or two is the reason we're debating not having another child. Absolutely everyone was there in the hospital (6 people stayed for 3 days, ugh), but drove home before discharge. We didn't have a single guest for 6 weeks and I remember being so darn lonely and depressed. We did get food dropped off, but friends wouldn't come inside because they didn't want to burden us. I begged people to visit. Inlaws expected the baby to come to them (4 hours away). [/quote]

So you wanted to host? Would you complain if they did accept your invitation but didn't offer to make or bring the food? [/quote]

Yes I wanted to host. I had stocked my house, changed the sheets and had two guest bedrooms prepped and ready for guests that never came. :( I'm a great host and DH is our cook. I didn't want anyone in the hospital (I was in for 4 days with 3 days in labor), but really wanted guests in our house. It was lonely.

DH had a miserable paternity leave because the baby didn't take bottles and I was shocked my inlaws, especially MIL didn't come visit to keep him company (they live 4 hours away). I thought for sure they'd visit once I was back at work. [/quote]

Well, you seem like an outlier on this thread. Sorry! Most likely they didn't want to be a burden or intrude on the first few weeks of new parenthood, but who knows? [/quote]
