My mother in law came up for the birth of our daughter and is staying till March. Thank God for that. Not that a mother, father, and ten year old can't adequately care for a newborn; rather because the addition of one more adult family member reduces the workload tremendously.

She even tolerates our tiny dog. Actually, I think she loves him as much as my daughter and I do, which makes up for my wife's loathing for him. Maybe not loathing, but she barely tolerates him. I'm proud of him, personally. He immediately took to our daughter and seems to be protective and curious, crying when she cries just in case we didn't hear it.
