[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband CAN cook, but if he's cooking and doing all the dishes after he gets home from work I'm responsible for keeping track of the older kid, bathing, and getting him to bed as well as taking care of the newborn. Which may be the new normal we have to adjust tk, but when the newborn is cluster feeding every hour in the evening right now, I literally don't have enough hands. Freeing up half an hour to an hour of my husband's time from cooking is a godsend. [/quote]

Ever hear of crock pots or slow cookers?  I made a huge pot of beef stew on Friday with enough to give to elderly couple next door for two meals.  You and your husband should have thought of these things prior to you getting pregnant.  Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency for anyone else.  In this day and age there is no excuse for meal trains.  Call for carry-out.

np  There may be no need for it but, it is a long tradition in community!  The community of family and friends are welcoming a new member to the community and doing so by supporting the family.  It isn't about the food per say.  It is an expression of LOVE.

Maybe you need more love and caring.

Who prepares before they get pregnant?[/quote]

People who are organized and use their brains for something other than a hat rack!  I cook large amounts of chili (both meat and lentil) and put in large cupcake pans, freeze,and later put on freezer bags.  I do the same with spaghetti sauce, lasagna, meatloaf.  It's easy.  Nine months is ample time to cook and freeze meals for post birth use.[/quote]
