Aqua70- the more I read peoples responce the more I’m beginning to realise the attitudes of my family/ relatives is not the morn amongst the pakistani community.
The experience I had last time really was horrendous and I’m so careful not to have a repeat. Although I know I have to be realistic and expect a constant flow of guests the second I’m home. If I could I would hibernate for 2 weeks after birth to recuperate , establish breastfeeding and spend time with my newborn. Is tough being paksitani sometimes.

One of my friends has a HUGE family here…and by huge…I mean huge enough where they make fliers to inform each other of upcoming dawats. They’re all very close as well.

After coming home with her first baby…EVERYONE and their mama wanted to show up to see the little one. My friend had a very complicated delivery and was in bad shape.

Her husband just didn’t answer the phone from anyone aside from her parents and sisters who knew the situation well. He didn’t respond to any message to come over or phone call until she had 2 weeks of continued rest at home and was ready to meet people. They got yelled at by relatives for being inconsiderate and insensitive but neither one cared.

Once they were ready to see everyone, people just forgot what happened. And if they didn’t, it was their loss as they missed out on a beautiful child.
