No.

She wanted a natural vaginal birth.  She was in "more pain that most" and had to have an epidural which spiraled into an emergency c-section.  The baby was and is fine.  She is not coping with healing from the c-section.  I had a c-section, I know it's a bitch...

Baby has a tongue tie, the world is over.  She took breastfeeding classes so thought it would be easy.  Things didn't pan out who she planned, and she can't deal.[/quote]

I thought the email was crazy. I'm with you, OP. I can't understand people who are so self-centered and self-absorbed. I had much worse issues with all my pregnancies and never asked for anything approaching this. Vaccines up to date? OMG. Does she think every single adult her child will meet in his/her life is going to have up to date vaccinations? And no one under 18? Insane, really.

OP didn't include the list of foods that they like to eat. I'd like to have seen that!

I could see asking politely that no one come over if they are sick. One of my children was born prematurely, and we had to ask for this, but that's all we ever asked for.

I'd just ignore it, OP. Send a nice gift and say you have the sniffles, otherwise you'd love to come see the baby. Ignore the crap about cleaning toilets! Geeze. I can't believe anyone would ask their friends to help out with chores! Close friends and family members, maybe, informally, but in a mass email? Yikes. [/quote]
