Anyone else struggling with either your parents or in laws about when they'll visit after birth?  My parents live across the country and I totally understand that they want to be here when their first grandson is born. However we have politely requested they stay in a hotel the first week and my mom can stay with us the second week to give us some help. Now my mother has decided they'll come in two days before and stay with us and go to a hotel when we get home from the hospital. I politely shared that we would really prefer not to have houseguests when we're planning for an induction/birth of our first child. She got all annoyed and said we'd discuss it tomorrow. She has a very difficult time taking no for an answer when she doesn't get her way. She blames my husband for it (she knows he can't stand having house guests and has issues with her staying long periods of time). But truthfully I'm in full agreement here. I don't want to be worried about entertaining and having people around when we'll be stressed enough as it is.
