To those of you who had parents and in laws show up: My mother (who is getting a bad rap here, but she was a truly wonderful mother and a fabulous grandmother) and father did come to the hospital after two of our children were born. My mother did not come for the third child because she had a cold. But did she cook dinner? I had c sections each time...and no she didn't. I cooked, somehow. And she thought that it wasn't good enough.
On the other hand when my husband called my in laws (his dear parents) after I had my first (I had been in labor for 18 hours and then had an emergency section) they hung up on him. It was late they said. They showed up two weeks later to see our first...and my mil criticized my housekeeping.
And after I hired full time live in help: I was "spoiled" because I had a housekeeper (as did her other dil...but she was "special")...and the women weren't in uniform. I was a "bad" employer. (But my house was clean.)
They didn't bring dinner either.
We didn't call them again after the birth of our next two.
