[quote=Anonymous]Take the long view. Make sure you have the time and space you need to heal in the first days but don't set up a dynamic that will effect your long-term relationship with your in-laws (or, your husband, for that matter). When they're there, feel free to establish boundaries. Your job is to feed your baby and to rest. If you feel like you can't do that with other people around, then have "visiting hours" at home and make sure everyone sticks to them. Employ your husband's help in this matter. But don't set up a dynamic between grandparents at this stage that some are invited, and some are not. Believe me, the stress between deciding who's out and who's in will be worse than inviting everyone in and asking them to leave when you need the privacy.[/quote]
