Expected couple ridiculed for meal-train page asking Paleos and friends to do their job

A Philadelphia couple, who are expecting their first child, has been outraged at asking for meals from their expensive, high-maintenance friends and elaborate meals on a crowdsourcing page.

Jim and Alex Burns of Fishtown are expecting their first child on April 29th.

To get ready, the couple created a profile on Meal Train, a website that allows friends and family to prepare homemade meals and deliver them to those who are sick or, in the case of Burns, who come from 39, welcome a baby.

But the Burns exceeded expectations with their train-meal list, writing over 30 specific recipes that they wanted to receive, and then sharing them on a neighborhood social network.

The recipes included elaborate options such as "egg muffins for the paleo breakfast with cremini mushrooms cut into thin slices, sausages for pork breakfast and three tablespoons of melted and cooled ghee".

Other requests included "spicy lentil pouches, sweet potatoes and kale".

The future dad also said that if the couple did not want to be distracted by those who brought him food, he would put a large white cooler in our side yard.

Jim and Alex Burns, a couple from Philadelphia, were criticized for their busy, train-meal page, where they asked their friends to do their housework and cook Paleo meals for them.

The couple waits for their first child on April 29 and has created the Meal Train page to ask friends to drop home-made meals after delivery. But their demands have been criticized for being very demanding in terms of maintenance and maintenance.

Jim wrote on the page: "As a future father, I stumble over a barrier of emotions. One of the things that worries me the most is not sleeping a lot and therefore not being in the best possible state of mind to give my wife the support she needs to postpone the delivery process.

"That's why I'm trying to compose this" train-meal "or" mental health check-in train "or" do you need help to train yourself today? " hui ". A meal would be great. If you feel comfortable before going to see if we need anything else, it would be even more awesome. & # 39;

The Burns then listed their least favorite dishes – such as mashed potatoes – and their dietary restrictions.

The Burns shared the post on a neighborhood social networking page, which prompted a neighbor to post on the weird crowdfund page on Twitter

Recipes: The Burns shared a long list of specific recipes they wanted to make to their friends.

This Twitter shared snapshots of the Meal Train page before it was removed, prompting the couple to meet their highest demands.

Under Special Instructions on the page, he adds that the couple would appreciate having friends supervise them by giving them a hand for housework.

& # 39; "Meal Train" is loose. We are looking for a "registration train" for people to register on us to find out if we need something or want something as we get used to the new routine. This could mean a meal or snacks, yes, or else it might be to walk the dog, do the dishes, or just bring your smile and a conversation. & # 39;

Friday afternoon, the train-meal page was removed

They posted the crowdfunding page on the social network of their neighborhood, inviting strangers to help.

A neighbor then shared the message on Twitter, where the couple suffered a sudden reaction because of his preference for maintaining maintenance.

& # 39; Amazon Prime & Door Dash / Uber Eats / Grub Hub all exist. I am all for a meal train but aside from the real food allergies, you should be grateful for what you get. I also get the Check Ins but GET, they require a lot of maintenance, "said a Twitter user.

"So, basically, he does not know that he will sleep enough to help his wife with housework, and he asks the neighborhood to ask him," an indignant Twitter user wrote.

Backlash: Twitter users overrode the couple's most pressing demands, claiming that they could have prepared such elaborate and elaborate meals themselves and stored them in a freezer.
