[quote=Anonymous]OP- I just went through the same thing with my MIL. There are my reasons why I didn't want anyone staying in my house
1.  I was nursing and had a hard time with my first with mastitis, supply etc and pretty much had my shirt off  for the first couple weeks to nurse, apply cold packs etc.  I didn't want to be stuck in my bedroom or have my girls on display
2.  I cried.  A lot.  Difficult C section recovery with lots of pain, in addition to horrendous back labor which did some damage to my back that I was still in pain from.  I didn't want to have to keep it together in front of anyone.
3.  My DH had to help me in the bathroom, shower, including wiping me, cleaning blood from the shower, toilet, etc.  I needed his full attention.  
4.  We have a system down with the toddler, my husband knows exactly what to do, much faster than having to explain to my MIL about how to cut his banana, what toys are bath toys, etc etc x 1 million little things.
Please note this had nothing at all to do with MIL as a person, just things we needed/wanted to do to make it as easy on us as possible.  [/quote]
