I just read the most awful article on a mommy blog. The premise was a set of demanding rules one must follow in order to visit new moms, interlaced with overly dramatic whining about how awful everything is for new moms. I dont even want to link to it, its so appalling. First off, new moms are blessed beyond belief with the most precious gift, that millions of women and men wont be blessed with because of fertility issues. Second, if people want to come visit, how dare you be snarky a and make demands for gifts and food?!? Im so over my peers of this mindset. Im home for 6 weeks, I had an emergency C, Im working 2 of my 3 jobs still part time, still volunteering, breastfeeding and pumping extra milk to donate, and I have limited help from Chris because of the current situation we are in. Im beyond grateful for every friend and relative that wants to come visit, help me and share their love with my son. I somehow manage to shower, clean my house, walk outside and *gasp* put on makeup if I want. I am a blogger/radio personality and I dish snark like a champ, but this is beyond the pale for even my sarcastic self. scarymommy/rules-for-visiting-a-new-mom/
