is it just me??

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

I thought that if someone just had a baby, most people would take food to that person, not expect them to make food for visitors... I have had countless people come over at meal times and eat my food. Usually I dont mind TOO much but today, Im really bugged about it because we are having 2 friends come visit us in 10 minutes and I asked them before we ate if they had eaten yet (this was like an hour ago) They said they would eat before they came over, so I (one-handedly) make my DH and I sandwitches and right after I put all the food away and we had eaten I get a text asking if we can go ahead and make them food too.... Ugh so annoyed, it took me so long to make 2 sandwiches with a crying baby in one hand and NOW they want some too!? wyf!? And they have 3 kids so they should totally understand how hard it is to make food with a 3 week old, let alone go grocery shopping!

Sorry, just needed to vent!

    I would say sorry don't have enough I have not went to the store and that is wrong I'm a ftm to and my son crys a lot and only way to get stuff done is but him in a front carrier. So you should say something and if they get mad they can deal with it

    I know the feeling. Last night I was truly hoping my friend would run late and miss visiting right at dinner so I could hang on to more for leftovers. I would have fed him if he came at dinner time, but I was crossing my fingers <img src="https://community

    That is super-rude of them.  My dad has pulled this stunt twice already .. and that was after I made it clear we didn't have enough lunch materials to go around on the days he visited! 

    People who make plans to visit those with a newbor

    I really find that rude. Next time go with the "we don't have enough food" excuse.

    Yeah that seems pretty rude.  I'm not quite sure why people (esp those with kids) don't think about these things.  I've had a lot of my husbands friends want to come visit in the first week... not even realizing that we might be adjusting.

    Wow. I would not have asked if they have had lunch. Maybe they thought you were offering? I would have ate my food and assumed they would never ask someone with a newborn to make them something. :)
