I need advice. My BIL lives with DH and me. He's a cool guy and I don't mind living with him, however, I'm concerned about him living with us when the baby gets here. He has people stay over every weekend and his girlfriend randomly comes over. Which, normally, doesn't bother me but, I don't see it going well with a newborn. Also, he works crazy hours so, he's coming in and out of the house at crazy random hours and it's impossible to be quiet in our apartment, it's fairly small (a two bedroom) and noise just travels here. I really love him and I don't really want him to move out, but I also don't want my daughter to be woken up or disturbed by people always coming in and out of the house.

@yourmommylovesyou, I'm going to talk to DH when he gets home from work. I'll let you know how it goes. lol
Yeah probably, but your mom.. You have to put your foot down and show them the importance of a good schedule for babies.. Don't let up, stand your ground cause that baby need you to make sure she get enough rest to be happy and healthy..
@yourmommylovesyou, I don't think DH realizes how big of a deal it is that a baby has a good, consistent sleep schedule. Neither DH or BIL have any idea what it's like to live with a newborn. I lived with my parents when they had my little brother 3 years ago, and I babysit him everyday. I've tried to stress the importance of a schedule but, I'm pretty sure he just thinks I'm overreacting.
right, and when she does get on a good sleeping schedule, you don't want people waking her because then your up and she's cranky the next day.. And it would just be hell hun..
@yourmommylovesyou, Yeah DH and I need to set some ground rules. I really don't want baby's schedule (whatever that may be, lol) thrown off by people coming in and out, it wouldn't be fair to her.
About the noise I don't have a solution, maybe hang more pictures and maybe some decorative blankets on the walls some more throw rugs to keep the sound from bouncing off everything..
Sit him down and give him some guide lines for how the house had to run after the baby arrives, no more random over nighters, because you really never know people... No more late nights in and out if it doesn't have to do with work and hope he's okay with it..
Please do.. @abbymattingly14
