People keep showing up unannounced!!

People keep showing up unannounced!!

I had my baby last week and my family keeps showing up uninvited. My mom showed up at the hospital with my horrible shat-brain of a step father the next day after I kept texting her that we were tired and hadn't slept and couldn't figure out breastfeeding. Then my grandpa showed up with his wife. They didn't stay long, but we didn't know they were coming. I wanted him to see his great-grandson, but we'd just finished having brunch with my SIL & her boyfriend at our place. Now my dad & step mom are currently here, and their visit was planned, but my uncle, grandpa, and step-gma showed up. My dad was like "Let's order food!" Wut?! I can't host an impromptu dinner party 6 days after having given birth.

I can't even imagine showing up at a new moms house without being invited. That's so incredibly rude.

Just because you're not welcome at first doesn't mean that your support isn't acknowledged.

While I was having a mini meltdown in the bathroom my husband asked them all to go out to dinner and then come back later, just my dad & step mom. I also get the feeling the women knew what was up. We had a nice visit later, the four of us plus baby. I would have liked to hang out more with them, but five guests on no sleep and aching breasts was too much for me.

My in laws did this constantly when ds was first born. I wanted them to see their grandchildren but I also wanted some privacy. Mil asked me EVERYDAY if she could feed him, like How? You wanna hold my boob or something? Got to the point where I hid upstairs and called dh up 10 million times until they got the hint. Lol don't know what I'll do when this baby is born

It's bad manners to show up uninvited. Forcing new moms to play hostess when she isn't up for it is selfish.

With my first I removed the batteries from my doorbell. So if you didn't preplan your trip with me you didn't come over.

With second, we had moved houses and kept the dront gate shut. If unexpected visitors called and said they were out the front I would tell them we were not home

A few days after I had my son my grandmother whom I don't speak with anymore or even see on a regular basis showed up. It was fine, awkward though. But the next day she came back again unannounced and I was in bed sleeping with the baby after being awake all night and my front door was unlocked and she just walked in yelling HELLO...like thanks for just walking into my house and waking me up. ?

Honestly it won't last long, give it a week or two and no one will care anymore. Enjoy the company while it lasts ☺️

I would say to bring food...then eat. Then pretend to nap with the baby so they leave.

Ask them for help. They probably just want to support you and the baby.

We told everyone no visits at our house for the first 7 days while we adjusted.. we didn't tell anyone we had the baby for the first 3 hours of life.. I would do the same all over again (well we did! For second baby ?)

They should completely understand if you and baby go lay down for a nap or even the night. They're just showing their love and showing up that way means they must feel very close to you. Tell them you love them and thank you but you need to rest. Good luck! Just remember they lo!ve you

I hadn't even left the delivery room and had about 10 people waiting for me in my room lol, and about 7-8 of those had came to see my baby when he was still doing the one hour skin to skin with me. Thankfully I had a great labor and felt good, I didn't mind the company, but now that I'm looking back, it was a lot ?

I know people get excited but that is very rude. I felt like I got hit by a Mack truck after having my first! Ugh. I did not bounce back quickly.

With my first this is how things were. Everyone showed up at the hospital not even 2 hours after I had her and once I was home everyone would go over without giving a notice. Worst part we lived with my in laws so every time she would cry they would busted in the room without knocking! Talk about annoying! I'm having my baby on Monday and we already made it clear to everyone that we don't want visitors at the hospital until we tell them it's ok for them to show up and once we are home they have to give us a call to make sure we're okay with it since we got our own house now.

If people come over this time without calling first I'm not opening the door for them. Mean I know but if I'm resting and my kids and husband are to I'm not about to get up and wake them up for people.

That is inexcusable and unacceptable I would make it a point that you don't want unannounced guests, unfortunately while it shouldn't have to be said sometimes it has to be said ?

I would open the door and say we aren't accepting visitors at the moment. I will call you when it's a better time. Close door.

Been induced since 7. Got an epidural an hour ago. I feel pretty good. My dad, sister, and fiance are here. Waiting for MIL to come after work. Talked to my mom and step dad on video chat. My step baby and his mother will be up after I have the baby and will take a family photo. Excuse the messy hair, i slept with it wet. I'm hungry and tired and bored. I'm excited for my LO.

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?
