[quote=Anonymous]Tell them if they are going to come right after the baby is born, they need to stay in a hotel and rent a car and plan to have short visits each day with you and the baby but otherwise be self-sufficient. Tell them flat out that you need to recover, and you know you won't be able to do things to their standards. If they won't stay in a hotel, and you know they're not helpful, invite them to come visit when the baby is somewhere around 8-10 weeks old. You will still be tired, but you'll be past the 6-8 week recovery period after birth, and you may welcome the chance to let someone else hold the baby while you cook. Hire a housecleaner to come right before their visit so you don't stress yourself out, and keep it low-key. Have DH take the time off when his mother visits so you are not alone with her.[/quote]
