Is the first time mothers “right” or “need” to see their mother/have them around post birth more important than the first time fathers?

No MN rage please, I’m not saying I believe this is true, This is just the conversation me and my husband have been having and I’m curious of your thoughts?

I'm sure it can be in lots of cultures and families, but it isn't in mine. No one feels they have a right to anything.

Ha! Yep, my friends who belong to that culture (but born here) both hated that element of their own early motherhood. They just wanted to be left alone, to be able to make their own choices, and not face disapproval from every direction with each decision!

That sort of culture, I mean.
