[quote=Anonymous]During my c-section recovery I ran into EVERY issue your SIL is trying to prevent, and I just wish I had guts to send such sort of an email. I also had a PP Anxiety and Depression (did not get diagnosed until later) that probably contributed to my attitude.

[i]-healthy (no fevers within the last 48 hours, and no worrisome symptoms within the last couple of days this includes vomiting, diarrhea, and/or severe coughing) [/i]
"A" came to visit with a small child. Both sniffed and coughed, "A" casually mentioned hey are getting over a cold and not contagious. I freaked out for days, but guess, she was right - they were not contagious:)

-[i]updated on ALL vaccines [/i]
"B" said he feels quite well, thank you very much, and does not need a flu shot.

[i]-willing to help out (we are very behind in housework and rather spend time bonding with [baby] than cleaning and cooking) [/i]
"C" came to help, grabbed the baby and sat on the couch providing me with helpful tips on cooking and cleaning. All I wanted is to lay down and have the baby for myself, instead I was fixing meals and doing chores. Had she not come, I would not bother with cleaning and cooking, I am fine with frozen food and (somewhat) messy house. "C", however, insisted that home-cooked meals are the only way to go, as the immaculate house.

[i]-over the age of 18 (we request no children come at this time) [/i]
See "A"

[i]-not stay over allotted time. (30 minutes to an hour based on our needs) [/i]
Several family members camped out at our place every weekend, some also came over the week to hang out. Elderly "D" had different understanding of personal space than me, and when I tried to breastfeed alone, "D" would follow me and observe. I don't know "D" very well, she's from DH side of the family. She is sweet and older, so I kept my mouth shut, but man, I felt uncomfortable.

[i]-not wearing an perfumes or scented body lotions  [/i]
I developed an acute sense of smell during pregnancy, and was (still am) bothered by most scents. "C" loves her perfume, and I had to change the baby after she left the house.
