How often should grandparents be allowed to visit once the baby is born? What’s your opinion? Should it be whenever they want? What if one of the grandparents (i.e. your MIL or own Mom) stresses you out, etc? Please comment your past experiences or future plans after your babe is born. What’s the standard or general consensus if there is one? I’m a first time mom.

I could go on forever about this topic 😅😅 ..but I say whatever makes YOU comfortable. If you enjoy the extra help feel free to let them come/stay whenever. If they stress you out you have a perfect reason to say you don’t want guests at the moment. If you prefer for them to let you know before they pop up you absolutely have that right too. You just removed a human from your insides, you run the show for a bit, in my opinion 😂🤷🏽♀️

Definitely not whenever they want..if they ask to come over I'll tell them yes or no prob depending on how I'm feeling that day.

Me and my mom are super close and live right around the corner from her so we talk everyday and she’s the best grandmother to my babies like she’s the best mother to me . She sees my babies alllll the time rather if we come over or she comes and gets them . So I guess it depends on the relationship that you yourself have with your parents !!

@prestonjeanetta0120 no joke I lmy mom lives with us it's hard but she is a life saver and saves so much money and I love that she can stay home all day instead of a babysitter

As far as the mil she really doesn’t play the grandmother role like she’s suppose to !! So when it comes to her if and went she wants the kids I go with them because I won’t let someone around my kids by themselves specially when they don’t really know them and what they like or dislike and and my youngest is still a baby so her being left alone with is a no for me . But I won’t deny her of visiting !! Just if they go I go too

I had it pretty open for both my mom and MIL but neither of them stress me out. They also both realize that there is a limit. I lived with my mom when my son was born so she was always there but my MIL saw him probably 2/3 times a week.

Everyone needs to ask before they come over and you can say yes or no depending on how you feel.

@penneflower, And I will definitely be sticking to this rule Penn. The older I get, the more I start to focus more on what I want vs. what other people try to force on me.
