JustAbitCrazy, your brought back a memory too long to go into here, but you are right. Don't go into a home with a newborn and expect to be waited upon. The job in that home is to care for the babies. Anyone with a newborn can tell visitors to pound sand and if they don't like it, they really don't need to come back. I wish I'd had the fortitude to refuse a family friend (whom I'd never met) from my husband's side when our son was 2 days old. Husband needs to stick up for wife and support for her and the baby comes before anything else. IMHO
Orangeroom, I had to laugh at your 5 minute awkward visit description. My mother (who is very parsimonious) thought she was doing a good thing by bringing us a new ironing board when we were newlyweds. Lived in a garret...and she brought it up 3 flights of stairs...opened the door to the apartment and we had to really scramble...! I think that may have ended her impromptu visits, but it sure taught us to lock the door!
