[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Priority is baby's health, mom's physical and mental health, dad's health, new parents feeling confident in their parenting skills and marriage, then close family being included TO SUPPORT THE NEW PARENTS AND HELP THEM BOND WITH BABY, in that order. Once a week visits from anyone is too much, unless the new parents truly want them around. Visiting to hold the baby = not helping. Visiting to bring dinner, do laundry, clean, wash dishes to free mom and dad up to nap or hold baby worry-free = helping. Volunteering to help--and then listening and doing what the new parents consider helpful, not what YOU THINK is helpful--is helping.[/quote] Grandma is NOT your servant. You need that kind of help, hire a maid[/quote]
