Ive been cooking all morning for my sister, she has recently had a baby and cant get about much. I offered yesterday and she said yes, just texted her to let her know when we'll be popping over and she says she's gone out, she can hardly walk and her dh is at work. Just feel a bit deflated that ive tried do something nice, looks like we'll be eating the same meal for days now.

Can you not go over later or tomorrow?

Why is she out if she can't walk? Surely she'll be home soon...

Can't you pop it over this evening when they'll be home? Or tomorrow?

Be pleased she's managed to get herself and baby out for some fresh air. Always an achievement in the early days of baby arriving.

Or is there more to this story and your relationship?

I think she's gone the mil's, they have probably picked up her or she doesn't want me over for whatever reason. i'll see if she wants me to call in tomorrow. just feel deflated and brassed off.

have they gone to register the birth, doctors checkup maybe, or just some fresh air.

does she know you have cooked for her? ask when she's due back and go over then!

Dropdeadfred · 19/04/2011 13:58

text her and ask her what you should do with regard to the food you have cooked...?

No we have a good relationship ..i think. I am pleased for her, just wish she'd have said something last night before i went out and bought extra ingrediants.

did you tell her you have cooked for her? If not YABU to expect her to mind read.

Don't forget her brain is probably all over the place if it's early days.

I asked her last night if she wanted me to prepare some easy to reheat meals as her dh is back at work.
Her midwife came this morning so its nothing medical. I'll freeze a load then if she does want them i can take them over later.

i'm sure she'll be really grateful, and she wont have done this just to piss you off. Just text and ask when you can drop the food round.

moondog · 19/04/2011 14:17

Food will keep. You can't expect the poor woman to be inoddoors 24/7=

washnomore · 19/04/2011 14:18

I hate when folk get sniffy about stuff like this. She's just had a baby, cut her some slack - her head's probably and quite rightly up her own arse just now.

sausagesandmarmelade · 19/04/2011 15:14

You sound really lovely and caring...I wouldn't get upset over this.
It's great that she's ventured out.

I'd give her a ring later on to see how she is and ask if it would be convenient for you to pop the stuff over to her. If not, is it stuff that will keep for a couple of days, or that can be frozen?

That's great....

I am sure she will be really grateful for your efforts! I certainly would!

squeakytoy · 19/04/2011 20:53

Maybe she didnt realise you were going to do it so quickly. :) I am sure she is very appreciative (so long as you are a good cook! Wink )
