[Guest guest]

Dear Crystal-

Thank you for the reminders ) My mother-in-law was famously good at this

basic day-to-day life stuff - and so non-chalant about it that I never felt

anxious or flustered. It was almost as if I was doing her a favor by accepting

the stuff and not making a fuss over the bother!

I know that sometimes your own mother-in-law seems to miss the picture entirely

and I hope my warm mother-in-law story doesn't make you feel that sadness again.

My own mother is famously self-absorbed and can't fathom that has anything

differently than anyone else! Drives my mother-in-law (and us) batty!

As for trusting anyone with , after we lost nursing, we didn't have anyone.

Then we had two more after him - each as unique in their care as , just not

medically remarkable. By the time I could leave I was leaving all three,

and now takes care of himself )

Thank you again-

Re: if you were coming home now....

Well my mom came over a lot the 1st month and helped upkeep the

house. It was so helpful, the most helpful thing my mother in law

did was she bought some odds and ends we needs like snacks and

toilet paper. Sometimes the littlest things are the best things.

Also when people offered to watch the boys for me was very helpful

so I could catch up on sleep while Eva slept. I never trusted anyone

to really watch Eva til she was much older.
