Mother-in-Law should help during recovery?

Question

Right after a baby is born?

Where I'm from all the grandmothers of the newborn help around somehow. Cooking, laundry, care for the baby, anything.

I married an American and my MIL came and just partied around, my husband cooked, she drink and smoke around. I had c-section and most of the time I stayed on my room breastfeeding the baby. She gossiped to my husband complaining why I was no cooking for him. It was 3 weeks after I had the baby. They came everyday for a month.

I'm wrong to be mad about it?

Answer

No you are right to be mad about her behavior.  I mean you can't expect her to wait on you hand and foot or anything, but for her to assume that you should be feeding and entertaining HER?! No.

Answer

No you're not wrong at all, that would be so annoying. My MIL tried to "help" with our 1st all it did was cause problems and caused problems with my husband and I all because I was refusing her help and had her kicked out of the hospital. She better not even think about trying to "help" with my 2nd baby either because I won't allow it

Answer

You've just been through a major surgery for Christ's sake! And you have an infant to nurture! Seriously some people are so tactless! No hun you're not wrong! Anyone would be upset over this! Don't let her get to you! Your recovery and your baby's health are your priorities right now and screw what your MIL thinks!

Answer

I'd be ticked off too.
