Selfish to want time alone?
So my partner's family are nothing short of a nightmare, there are so many of them and they're all very childish, drama orientated etc. I don't like seeing them ordinarily, because of those reasons. I've had such a difficult pregnancy, and none of them have been supportive/helpful, quite the contrary, they've just done more to make things difficult for us or stress us out which we just have not needed on top of this awful pregnancy. Well the last couple of weeks, I can't help but feel slightly depressed. I've had a history with mental health issues, but during the pregnancy I've been okay. Well now I don't feel so good again, and I can't help but feel that when my baby arrives, I want to spend the first few weeks with her alone, just my partner and I. I want to avoid any drama and negativity that his family bring, and make sure they aren't here making me feel worse than I'm scared I already will. I just know that they won't be happy with this at all, and will slate me for not letting them see our little girl straight away. Does anybody have any thoughts or advise on this? I just feel so stuck and uncomfortable with them, and I don't want to add my baby into that mixture 😶
