[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey lady who said that having a healthy newborn isn't a big deal...want to hear how insensitive you sound?

"I can have multiple Orgasms through intercourse alone. It's no big deal. I don't know why some women need vibrators!"

"Labor was painless for me. It's no big deal. I don't know why anyone would need an epidural."

Don't be stupid. I had a life-threatening illness last year, multiple deaths in the family, lost jobs several times, and nearly lost the house. My special needs newborn nearly suffocated from breathing issues, at home, when we brought him back from hospital. I nearly died during the birth of healthy baby. We continued to cook at home, as do the immense majority of people who go through these events.

So YES, I hereby affirm that "wondering why people don't bring food after a birth" is a minor issue.

If you think I'm insensitive, then you are lucky to have lived a charmed life. I envy you!

And no, it's not culturally universal to bring meals for births, as this thread has shown. Thank you.

Listen, sugar, there isn't an Olympics of Suffering. I'm sorry you went through all that stuff. But it doesn't give you the right to belittle others who are having a hard time with something you found easy. I would have thought that your trials and tribulations would have given you more empathy.

I found school easy. I never studied until professional school. And then it was still easy, just a lot of material. Did I for one second tell my classmates who were failing to buck up and stop whining? NOPE. I helped them when they needed help. I was responsible for making sure at least three friends passed.
