[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually don't think the email is that crazy and I would gladly do any of those things for someone who I cared about.  You are a crappy sister for posting this.[/quote]

X 2.

People SHOULD have the attitude of coming over to help and serve. Not just see the baby. Unfortunately, many people do not. Clearly the mom is having issues in breastfeeding, diet, and she had a tough recovery. Unfortunately, not everyone thinks of the mother's recovery.

For me - I had a LONG bedrest, c-section recovery, and NO ONE helped with ANYTHING. No dinner, no food, no nothing. They all assumed others were doing it. I was too shy to ask for help walking my dog. Poor thing barely got exercise those weeks. In hindsight, it made things very stressful for me and DH while I was trying to get adjusted as a new mom.

If it was a mass email to a select group of family - I think her laying everything out removed any room for doubt. Good for SIL for learning the ropes quickly and laying down the law with her expectations. At least she won't be disappointed if someone comes over. If they don't come over - she is probably ready to deal with that.[/quote]
