[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My in laws are coming for the birth and this is my concern- I feel like they are here for the baby and not for me. I want people to help ME, not to just want to hold the baby and coo over him. MIL is not the type that will cook or clean for me. I feel so resentful that they are coming. [/quote] Put a chores list on the fridge with a nice note. And take your time coming out of your room with the baby to give them ample time to 'help'. My inlaws were like this. They'd want to hold the baby all day, and she loved to cook, so she made all the fried, oily food that she wanted to ( that I the new mom couldn't even eat ) and left the dirty dishes for others. Ugh! This time I will have better boundaries. [/quote]
