My mom tested positive for Covid on Saturday. On Friday night, she was over my house and held my baby for hours, so we’re waiting to see if he gets sick. Her symptoms are like a very bad cold.

I have a 14 week old baby and I meal prepped a lot of soups and stews for myself and my husband to eat postpartum. My MIL also gives us a lot of homemade food. Everything is organic and has a ton of ingredients that help to heal. My family has always made fun of the things I eat because they’re way more healthy than what they eat. I have more time now that my baby is big enough to entertain himself and sleep in his bassinet but I don’t have extra time to be cooking for other people yet.

Yesterday and today she hinted at wanting me to make and bring her some of my soup. I was meal prepping in anticipation of coming down with Covid this week and not being able to cook a lot, so ignored it. But today she said to my baby via FaceTime ‘you need to tell your mommy to bring me some soup!’ And asked me what I have stored in my freezer (bc she wanted me to thaw it and bring it to her).

She lives an hour away so she’s asking me to drive my baby an hour each way to bring her soup that I prepared for my own family. Meanwhile my dad is home with her and is fully capable of cooking and/or ordering delivery

And honestly I might have, except I’ve brought her soup twice in the past and it went to waste bc it was ‘too healthy and scary looking’ so they threw it in the garbage after a week of sitting in the fridge! I’ve told her that but she denies it happened.

Is it just me or is that some audacity? I don’t want to be rude and I do feel bad that she’s sick but like… the entitlement. At least in my opinion. Is having a 3 month old baby not that big of a deal anymore? I thought people understood that they take most of your time as a mom.

And when she told me she has Covid, she was more concerned about her dog getting sick then my baby 🤦🏻‍♀️
