I can see what you're saying, but from my personal experience, it was nice to have some help so I could ease into the transition. Instead of jumping into it immediately after I got home, I had some time where I had some help with things. My mom was here for a week helping out, and DH was able to take a couple of weeks of vacation. It was awesome for DH--he got to have a lot of bonding with baby time and bonding with the new big brother time that he otherwise would have missed. I also liked having the help--who wouldn't? But it wasn't that horrible after everyone went back to their normal lives. I don't think it made me less able to handle things alone. I think it helped to prepare me better so that it wasn't so much of a shock when it finally WAS just me and the two kidlets. Because even with the help, you still end up doing quite a bit anyway. It's not like you laze around all day while everyone else waits on you hand and foot. ;D
