[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this expected of friends that visit as well, and I'm not talking dinner time, but during the day?

And what would you have done if they were not visiting you? [/quote]

Did you just fall off the turnip truck? It's good manners to bring new moms food. [/quote]

+1, and I don't buy only people with kids know to do this.  I didn't have my first kid until I was 42, I've been bringing my friends food when they had kids for 20 years. [/quote]

Well, you are one of the few grannie.[/quote]

NP; she isn't one of the few, and immature name calling doesn't exactly stake out your position as the one on the side of proper behavior.

I've lived in 5 states since I was old enough to have friends having kids, and in each one food was a welcome and expected new-parent gift.

I completely understand that there are subcultures where this is not the norm, but everyone shouting that at OP should realize that she is a part of her subculture.  If she expected food, she's not in one where it's not the norm.[/quote]

Expecting handouts is not proper behavior. [/quote]
