In laws being unreasonable or am I?
I am pregnant and have decided when baby is here I do not want any visitors at the hospital I just want to wait until we are home and settled at least for the first while. This is our first child, my family all respect it and have no issues. My partners family live about 45 minutes drive away and have to use a lot of highways (all 70mph) to get here, and are having none of it. My FIL drives, as does my SIL’s husband and my brother in law drives too so everyone has a way to get here but they are demanding we bring baby to them. I’ve explained multiple times that I’m not comfortable doing that, I don’t want to have a newborn in the car for an hour to get there then go from house to house to let everyone meet them and then eventually do the hours drive back (my hubby would be driving of course). My mother in law is texting me giving me so much grief about how I’m not going to let her see her grandchild etc and I keep saying she’s more than welcome they can come to our place it’s not an issue we encourage it, my family are respecting it and saying it’s no issue they will come visit in turns so not to overwhelm us or baby and in the comfort of our own home. Im at a bit of a loss because they are refusing to come to us and saying we are stopping them for meeting their grandchild but I’m just not willing to do it, everyone else is respecting our wishes so I don’t understand the big issue. Am I being totally unreasonable?
