Proud wife
I’m due to have our third child in early June. We live in Florida and my MIL lives in Pennsylvania and she was wanting to come down as soon as the baby is born. Me and her get along pretty good and there’s no bad feelings towards each other. However, I don’t want her to stay with us the second we come home from the hospital. First, because I don’t want to feel like I have to hold myself to any standards other than my own and I will be in a diaper lol breastfeeding freely and adjusting my other two kids to having a baby in the house at the same time. I basically want at least a week or two of just us; me, husband, and kids. So that we can smoothly make this transition together. Well my husband has already expressed this to my MIL a while back but today she was talking to him again about coming down when the baby is born so “she can be there”. I’m proud because he had my back %100, he again explained to her our reasoning and how I would be uncomfortable having her stay with us during the healing process. She started to get “in her feelings” and said, okay well I guess I’ll just come next year. And he handled it beautifully, he deescalated the situation while still standing firm on our wishes. She came around to understanding and plans to come in July. Im just so happy that he didn’t make me have to compromise in this situation and he fully understands how I feel. I love him so much!
