My husband told me it’s a “bit extreme” that I want to limit visitors at home after baby...I want set days of just us with no distractions.

I explained how I don’t want people coming over every single day. I like my alone time now and I’ll want my alone time then. Plus I tried to explain how exhausting it’ll be to try to manage a clean house (we have a German Shepherd who sheds like crazy...I vacuum and clean every day)...how I won’t feel like hosting all the time while being exhausted caring for a new baby. And how I want to limit the times that visitors come over so there are no unexpected visits.

He doesn’t understand that I will be the one pumping/feeding every 2 hours... I will be the one not getting any sleep... I will be the one who feels disgusted by a dirty house with guests... I will be the one to make guests feel at home... he doesn’t think of how exhausting it will be for me and his reply is “it’ll be fine”.

I’m just preparing for my own sanity. I don’t want to feel overwhelmed. Plus his parents are the ones who would be the most intrusive...so I feel like he just cares about them.

His comment really upset me...I don’t even know what to do or how to approach it but cry 😭
