[quote=Anonymous]I'm my parents only daughter and they (well esp my mom) is expecting to be at the hospital for the birth of my first child.  My parents have a very dysfunctional relationship and most of the time aren't really talking to each other and generally it's very awkward to be around them together (unfortunately they are still married).  My mom stresses about everything and always finds a way to make nearly every situation about herself, which often is a result of her comparing the current situation to a situation in her own life where she was wronged.  It's exhausting.  She also has already expressed that she thinks that me, my DH and new baby should come stay at her house immediately following my discharge.  I nipped that at the bud.

I really just want it to be myself and my DH.  I have about 5 months to go, so awhile, but wondering if I should bring this up now, or wait for her to bring it up.  She is going to be upset, but honestly, I don't care.  This is probably my only baby and I want to feel relaxed and comfortable (as much as possible) and not have to worry about how my parents are interacting or if my mom is going to make an asinine comment.
