Relief Society v2.0
Being outside of Zion©, most of our friends aren't Mormon. While this has its definite advantages, it also has its share of drawbacks. And I'm not just talking about having to be the designated driver 100% of the time. Back in Utah, when someone has a baby, the Relief Society steps in and provides meals for the new family for a couple of weeks. Knowing this, one of our friends organized a similar meal drive for us and boy has it exceeded anything that our prior experience would have prepared us for. Growing up, when the Relief Society brought by food, it was basics like lasagna, meatloaf, or the like. Well, imagine our surprise when we started getting meals like the following:

Paternaty Leave?!
My husband missed two of my deliveries all together, and a coule times he was off to work the next day leaving me to fend for myself with one more child etc.
Oh wait, you live in a "liberal" state.
Well, Im not surprised. But you have to remember that we (mormons) have to provide meals all the time, so we have to stick with the basics. In my ward, there is an announcement literally every week of someone who has just given birth or someone that is newly pregnant. We can't do fancy meals for these people every week. but, I'm curious ... are all these meals prepared at home or take out? I could go for some lamb stew right now!
To be fair - some of our fine meals have come from Mormons. Our ward is really small though and new babies are as rare as feminists at BYU. In fact, "" may be based on our ward.
what ward do y'all live in? my wife and i may want to move there.
