Quoth (more or less) a door a few blocks away from my home, on NEON STATIONERY:
Childbirth is a tiring process.
Mommy and baby need their rest and privacy.
So please:
1. Call before visiting for any reason.
2. Make your visits brief.
3. Make your offers of help specific.
Sincerely, the Midwife.
Oh wow. I find this note incredibly passive-aggressive, condescending, obnoxious and rude. It completely dismisses social scruples, and strongly suggests they don't even exist. Sure, friends and relatives can be a little over-anxious when it comes to beh-behs, but why not discuss your wishes in advance, or during said Rule #1 phonecall? (Really, that's the only thing the sign had to say: CALL BEFORE VISITING.) Is this new mum some kinda social dummy? Or is she just tickled by her midwife's hypersaturated sanctimony?
