My husband doesn't understand why I only want my in laws to stay 3 days tops when the baby is born. They live 3 hours away. I completely understand how it's an exciting time for them. I want them to see their grandchild. I just don't want them here for an extended stay. I don't need to worry about guests in my house when I have just become a new mother. I am hopeful that my mom or stepmother would be able to make it and stay for a few weeks. (They would be coming from half way across the country). However, they would primarily be there to help me recover from childbirth, household chores, etc. Also, they cannot easily return to see their grandson. Another side note, I am still getting used to my in laws. I think I have seen them 7 times in the last 3 years, plus my MIL was taking crap about me at our wedding behind my back. I had only met her twice at that point. (I am really a quite shy person, but I understand she felt like she was losing her son). So stressed out now. 😕

@vjsoto, I don't think they truly understand how wonderful but Difficult this time can be. Maybe I worry too much, but I don't want to feel cornered into things that will stress me out more... On a side note....about holidays. Your statement reminded me of my dad. My brother was a premi -32 weeks. When my parents finally brought him home my dad didn't want anyone around him. The family was planning a birthday celebration for my dads father, but my dad didn't want to take the baby. He told everyone the doctor said he shouldn't be around crowds. lol. So they stayed home. Good luck and thanks for venting with me. 😊
You have a right to only want them there for a few days after that is just to much for new parents
Yeah my baby is due around Christmas time, so I don't think I'm gonna be in the "family" mood this year. My husband is a bit more understanding but I can also tell that it bothers him. I just don't care much about what he thinks regarding that because he's not the one going through the pain or labor.
My husband seems to think it's a great time for all the grandmas to socialize and have a great time....Um, this is can be done in the first few days when before we come home from the hospital. It's not the time afterwards. He even agreed, his mom does not need to be taking care of me and helping me with very personal stuff. We don't have that relationship. My husband said he would support my decision, but I can tell he doesn't understand. If I can see it in his face his mother will too! I don't need this to create a bigger problem with her. I told my husband we are going to have this conversation again until he understands. @vjsoto Hopefully your husband will understand your concerns.
I feel exactly the same. I don't want to be bothered by my in laws, especially when I'm recovering from child birth because that process alone is a struggle. I would much rather have my mom here because she'll help me with my household stuff instead of smothering my baby and not letting me rest.
Almost lost my s*** on this rude lady...
My son threw a horrid tantrum at Target; it started in the bathroom. He was yelling and hitting me, screaming he had to potty even though he had literally just gone. After 10 minutes of him hitting me, screaming, kicking, and rolling on the floor, I yanked his pants up and had to get our quick trip done. He was kicking me and pulling my hair, so I just held onto him and whispered and tried to calm him. He's never done this before. It took 5 minutes to ...
A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:
First off, Mom.Life has an absolute zero tolerance policy for child abuse and those who would prey on children. We strive to ...
Why Are Many Women Unaware of Their Own Anatomy?
the amount of women who are clueless about their own anatomy is so sad and shocking. a lot of the women are older than me and have more children then I do 😳
now I understand that everyone has their own opinion on the topic and grown adults can do whatever they want with their bodies but to deny facts and make up false statements about your own anatomy when it comes to your unborn child is just so disappointing.
