Family Woes Already😩

Stephanie

So I live 1,000 miles away from my family, which I was actually thinking would be handy because I wont have a million people wanting to come to the hospital and come over RIGHT when baby is born and I could have a little time to recover and relax before and after baby. Well, my mother decided she was going to pay for a cottage and come out on my due date and stay for at least 2 weeks. She really wants to come then, and even though it makes me stressed out because we have no clue when the baby could come and could easily be a week overdue, and I know the pressure will be on for me to pop her out, meanwhile I will be expected to visit and entertain while I am super uncomfortable. Well tonight my mother in law decides she is going to invite herself to ride out with my mom and get here on my due date as well😩 So now I have my mother, whom I love dearly but dont want to be in the delivery room etc., and my mother in law who is a severe alcoholic and chain smoker hanging around waiting on me to push out this baby. I am so disappointed because I really thought that with living so far away, I would have a nice relaxing end of pregnancy and be comfortably back at home before the people descend. Neither my mother or mother in law are the type to “help” and will likely make MORE work for me. It is too late to insist my mother come later, when baby is born, but I feel so stressed especially about my mother in law being here before baby. Would it be awful to ask if she would mind waiting until the baby is born to come? I appreciate the support, but really dont want/need it until after baby! Sorry for he novel, just needed to vent😩
