one week and 2 days pp

Ok so I'm a week and two days pp and I'm very curious as to what you guys think about taking care of yourself and what you can and can't do. Not sure what is true and what is not. I'm Hispanic & most Hispanic older women are very traditional and just curious on to what might be true and what may not. My mom expects me to be in bed resting all day & as much as I want to I can't I have a 4yr old and 3yr old my husband took a week off and is already back at work. while he's gone I have to pretty much do everything. My husband helps a little whitch is why I pretty much don't ask him for help since I know it will probably turn into an argument. And my mom works so she can't be here all the time. But she's always telling me not to sweep or mop and got mad at me for carring my 3yr old upstairs. Is she right should I take more care of myself or is she exaggerating a bit? I feel fine but dont feel 100% like myself either. What do you guys think? I'm just worried now bcs i did sweep. 😏🤔
