Rant about wanting privacy after baby is born

Kristie • My friends call me Keek . I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 17. I am now 24 with a 1 year old baby boy and a 1 month old baby girl 👩🏻🧔🏼👶🏼👧🏻💕

Today I told my husband I want to make a visitation schedule so that I don’t have my house full of people everyday after I give birth. He got really upset about it, and he can’t see my side of the argument. I was thinking it would be twice a week for 4 hours. Wednesday and Sunday. That way I am prepared and my house is somewhat clean. He thinks I’m being rude and he wants his family to be able to come over whenever they please. I feel he’s not being considerate. The last thing I want is our house full and people in my face asking me 100 questions, disrupting my babies sleep while passing her around like she’s a new toy. The same thing happened when my son was born two years ago and I didn’t appreciate people seeing me in my robe, walking slowly around my house in excruciating pain, puddles of breastmilk around my boobs with baskets of clean unfolded laundry everywhere and my sink full of dishes. It made me antisocial and resentful. I would hide in my room until everyone left. I feel like it’s an invasion of my privacy and so disrespectful. I have to have a c-section again and I know I’m really going to want rest and peace while I figure out breastfeeding/juggling my house work/cooking every meal & taking care of my two year old and husband. I’m overwhelmed just thinking about it and the stress of having to entertain people while trying to do all of that is freaking me out. 😩😩 has anyone ever been in this position.
