1. Don’t ever say you are tired to a new mum (not for the first three months at least).
Quote
2. If you go to visit, take food – not food for you to eat, but a meal for the mum and dad to have.
Quote
3. Whilst visiting, offer to watch the baby so they can do jobs, or alternatively, do jobs for them.
Quote
4. Keep reminding them that they can join in the partying again in a few months. It is so sad when your friends leave and you are left on your own, holding the baby.
Quote
5. Send them funny, non-baby-related stories. They still need to feel connected to “normal life” when they are stuck in cluster feeding hell.
Quote
6. Accept that you will be inundated with baby spam – but don’t worry, they will be so excited to see yours if and when they arrive in the future.
Quote
7. Keep telling them they are doing an amazing job.
Quote
8. Be ready to rub their back when they vomit after their first post-baby night out.
Quote
Being a mum is hands-down the best thing I have ever done, but nothing prepares you for how hard it will be. That’s where your friends come in.

Most parents that I have known are unending greed and need machines who expect all from everyone, but never any reciprocity no matter how important or serious the need is for others.

This classic thread popped into my mind upon seeing these demands:
http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,147803,page=1
That was the notorious one in which a moo said, so do you want the first, second, or third shift for helping me with the baby? Same sense of entitlement, just more intense.

Classic thread, however the original page is empty. The post was removed.

I revisited this thread a couple of months ago after something posted here reminded me of it. I'm so glad that Dorisan took the time to filter through it and post it here at the time; the original page is gone, but we can forever marvel at the entitlement.

Dorisan gave an excellent summary of posts from the original on page 2 of our old thread. She performed a service, not only because the original is gone now, but also because by then the number of posts in that thread had gotten out of hand. It was time-consuming to read them all. By reading her summary, you're missing very little.
We conjectured here that the thread was deleted because the subject found out about it and raised Cain. The thread had gone a little bit viral and other forums were commenting on the batshit-insane entitlement. There was a second thread with some followup, and that one's gone too. That kind of entitlement, different only in degree, shows itself with the OP in this thread.
