Reply To: Tips for helping stressed out mothers

I cannot fathom what your point/need is to make your surroundings be truth instead of making truth your surroundings. Maybe, and this is a guess, in your world (which you’ve clearly painted for us over the years) there is nobody at home to meet a woman’s needs so best to pay someone else to do it somewhere else. In the Torah’s world a father rejoices at the birth of a child and would like to share in his/her first days.
