I smile sweetly, praise the kindness of the person delivering the meal and just freeze whatever is brought into portions for DH to have unless it comes from someone I know is kosher.

I appreciate the thought and it means DH has meals for a bit longer while I get on my feet.

Also I find the ones that bring food that I can't trust tend to be people I don't know as well and therefore I don't feel comfortable telling them what they should and shouldn't be cooking iykwim.  Plus I hate imposing my food restrictions on other people.

You're gluten-intolerant aye?

Maybe make a list whats not ok (or what is ok - either one lol) to hand to people who want to help. Some will probably cut and run but it'll mean that you don't have to worry as much??
Or do some recipe cards?]]> Thu, 02 Apr 2009 16:24:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25644&PID=651369&title=when-people-offer#651369 <![CDATA[When people offer? : Baby is nearly two weeks old and...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25644&PID=651352&title=when-people-offer#651352 Author: busymum

Baby is nearly two weeks old and people are coming out of the woodwork to offer meals etc, which is lovely but I don't really know what to do! Do I ask people to cook basic meals with no flavouring? Decline meals? Ask for a recipe of everything they bring? We haven't had many so far so I have been doing my own easy meals and leaving the meal gifts for the rest of the family, instead of going through the awful 20 questions (it's bad enough at a restaurant let alone for free) - but today I turned down two offers of meals because I'm not sure how to approach it.

I guess I have a strong independent streak at the same time that says "I'm okay, I can do it myself" hehe I sound like a two year old!

Thoughts?]]> Thu, 02 Apr 2009 15:55:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25644&PID=651352&title=when-people-offer#651352
