MIL want to stay for a week after baby is born šµ
So basically my MIL texted my hubby tonight saying this is her plans. She didnāt 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. Iām 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 Iām recovering from birth. She wants to come exactly one week after the baby is due and I donāt even know when the baby is coming. Most likely heāll be a few days late and then Iāll basically have no time to recover or bond with the baby before she comes. I donāt have a good relationship with her. Sheās super overbearing and obnoxious and loves to take over. She told my hubby itās not āfairā to her to have to wait weeks and weeks to see HER grandchild. Itās just so selfish. Itās not like sheās saying what can I do to help. Sheās like well itās not fair I want to come see the baby. I told my own mom that I wanted her there for my labor (Iām having a home birth) but I donāt 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 itās not like Iām just saying this for my MIL, I didnāt 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 donāt want to have to worry about guests while Iām recovering. Iām soo mad and frustrated. Sheās so overbearing. Ughhh. Ok end rant.
