did you have family stay with you after baby?

Question

Did you have family stay with you at your house for a period after having your baby? What was it like, good or bad?

Answer

My sister stayed for a weekend but our baby is such a dream we didn't need help. 
My family came over a lot the first week and helped with tidying up but I've never had trouble finding time to shower or clean up the house or make supper.

Answer

Both sets of parents live 15 minutes away from us, and that is just how far I like them.
My mom is taking a week off of work to help me as my SO only gets one day of leave. She isn't staying with us though.

Answer

Nope my husband and I managed just fine on our own for our first. I don't won't to have to worry with cleaning up after someone else or have to feel like I can't be comfortable in my own house plus we don't really have family that would really won't to help out.

Answer

My mom is coming a week before my due date (or as soon as I start labor she said to call and she'll be on the first flight out of DC) and staying for about 2 months after. I'm a first time mom so I am so so so very grateful for this. My dad and sister are coming the week of Christmas and staying for a week. And my in laws are coming for a week in January ☺️

Answer

Nope. Don't need them

Answer

Non one will actually be staying the night with us. But my parents and his are about a 20-30 minute drive. So I'm pretty sure they will be there about everyday for the first week .

Answer

We actually live with his parents for now, so we do technically have family over to help. It's so nice to have them here to let us eat their food that they cook and for them to just ask to hold the baby sometimes. If we didn't live with them, we would definitely want then to come for a while.

Answer

Both of our families live far away (his is six hours and mine is in Alaska, we're in Florida) by my mom is coming down 3 days before my due date and staying for 3 days after. My dad is coming down the following week and my MIL said she'll come when I'm ready for her too; she's doing her best (and is) at not being overbearing. 
I'm sure I'll appreciate it because it's my first and I have no energy right now and I can't imagine how awful I'll be at feeding myself with a newborn.
