so my mom is coming up to stay for like a week or so yo help with the kids and stuff.... she gets on my nerves but I could really use the help since my husband works all day long....I don't want her come stressing me out but I need the help. I asked her not to complain about my pets or my house when it gets a little messy or my dishes when they don't get done right away. I'd this a good idea? what can I do?
I wish I had a good answer for you. I have the same problem. I can barely handle my moms visits on a normal day and I get so stressed just thinking about her coming when the baby is born. That postpartum time is super sucky. I don't need her help; I just feel really obligated to have her because I know she wants to spend time with the baby. Good luck. I hope it all goes smoothly for you.
I was literally in the same issue when I had my son. I had him on the 26th of October and my mom got here on the 31st and was here for two weeks. She was amazing and helped out so much, but I was so hormonal and wanted my own space. By the second day i was ready to leave. Things were super tense for me, but it could be different for you!
well I don't see my mom often. she lives 3 hours away but when I do see her she gets on my nerves after while. lol and now that she's coming to my house I feel like she's just going to complain about my house not being as clean as hers. I told her not to and she said she wouldn't but things could change when she gets here. but I really need her help. my husband just started this job so he can't take time off to stay home and help. and I have no friends here.
