[quote=Anonymous]My DD is a private person and her DH is an incredibly involved Dad and fully competent man (a PCP tho he acknowledges kids and adult different medically!!) but they both have appreciated me coming for now both births. Like others have said-they focus on the baby and this time their 3.5 yo and I take care of them. COVID made it a little harder but having me home while they stayed in hospital -a c-section so 3 days - meant there were no worries w/what to do about 3.5’s care. I was very conservative and basically full quarantine 3 weeks before but honestly we didn’t mask after they came home.

Because I have my own business I did work a few hours per day and could only stay a little more than two weeks this time but there 3 weeks for first (and that was an unexpected c-section.)

They could have absolutely done without my help but it was a gift to me and I know easier for them. The other grandparents are local and helped after I left (I did return at 5 weeks, my DH at 7) but the later times were more just pleasure of being with them. And thank goodness as we cannot go know b/c of worsening covid #’s.

I never had help at birth but would have appreciated. If your mother can come-embrace it!! [/quote]
