So today my mother informs me that when my son is born she wants to stay at my house the first couple of nights to help out but this is my first child and that first night home with him is something special and I don't really want her here for that. how do I tell her this?
say thanks so much but i want to tough it out... but dont complain bc then she will have a i told you so hanging over your head. good luck
just tell her that you wanna do it on your own and if you change your mind you'll call her.
I agree with @bri28 you would really want her there you would want all the help you can get I have my mom and my family's help it's the best thing in my experience it really dose take a Village to raise a child. You can tell her to be out your house but don't be to pushy on stuff let you do your thing and be there when you really need the help
@bri28 my mother gets on my nerves I don't think she would be much help. she wasn't the best parent growing up and then she sits there and tries to give me parenting advice.
you may want her there! make her a to do list and keep her busy it may go easier!
