So basically my MIL texted my hubby tonight saying this is her plans. She didn’t ask she just told us she put in her vacation time and will be staying with us for a week after the baby is born. I’m fine with her coming to visit but 7 days is a long time that I feel like I have to now worry about getting everything set up for her stay while I’m recovering from birth. She wants to come exactly one week after the baby is due and I don’t even know when the baby is coming. Most likely he’ll be a few days late and then I’ll basically have no time to recover or bond with the baby before she comes. I don’t have a good relationship with her. She’s super overbearing and obnoxious and loves to take over. She told my hubby it’s not “fair” to her to have to wait weeks and weeks to see HER grandchild. It’s just so selfish. It’s not like she’s saying what can I do to help. She’s like well it’s not fair I want to come see the baby. I told my own mom that I wanted her there for my labor (I’m having a home birth) but I don’t want anyone staying with us the first 2 weeks as I just want to spend time as a family and bond with our new baby. So it’s not like I’m just saying this for my MIL, I didn’t want any family staying those first few weeks. Of course my mom totally understood and was respectful. My husband has 2 weeks off after the baby comes and I just wanted to spend at least 1 week alone together. I don’t want to have to worry about guests while I’m recovering. I’m soo mad and frustrated. She’s so overbearing. Ughhh. Ok end rant.
