How important is prepping freezer meals before giving birth?

When we found out I was pregnant, we planned to buy a second freezer and do a lot of meal prep before baby is born. I’m due in March and I brought up the freezer in November and my husband basically blew me off and said we don’t need the freezer or meal prep. My husband is fantastic and has been an angel through my pregnancy, but he does randomly get very opinionated about things that catch me off guard.

He and I will both be off work together for eight weeks and we both cook a lot, but this is our first baby. We also just found out this week that his mom has cancer and she will more than likely be recovering from treatment (we don’t know exactly what treatment looks like yet) when our newborn is here and he wants to help. His mother also takes care of her almost-ninety-year-old mother so we think there are going to be a lot of family demands.

Should I push the issue of freezer meals before it’s too late?
