np here.  not a valid comparison.  this is your child.  it can be rough with a newborn.  it's supposed to be.  you both grow and bond over it.  having a stranger feed and comfort your newborn child at night while you sleep is a pretty strange concept.  unless absolutely necessary.  i don't understand this wanting to have it all mindset.  what is the point of having children if you don't care for them, to have heirs?[/quote]

Actually in some asian countries its pretty common to hire a special confinement nanny for a month after the baby is born. She's usually an older lady and she would be the one taking care of the baby full time and also cooking special nutritious food for the mother. Only thing the mother has to do is rest and breastfeed. There are even specialized confinement centers with doctors and pediatricians available. We believe that giving birth takes a lot from the mother health-wise, so in order for her to recover it is essential that she gets proper rest and eats a special diet. It has nothing to do with being unable to care for your offspring or being lazy.[/quote]

Thank you 100%!  Weird Victorian+50’s+wasp culture makes Americans think it’s completely normal for the mom to do everything on her own while recovering from childbirth, and quite frankly it’s insane and a major outlier across the world. Then you get these bitter posters who are like “I did it why don’t you do it too!”  Well quite frankly, no help is a bad idea for the mothers long term health prospects, and if there is ANY additional issues, the nuclear family can crack under the pressure.

Buzz off angry PP’s! People need help when they have a new baby! [/quote]
