[quote=Anonymous]OP, your baby is only 12 days old. You're in the thick of newborn life and recovery. My opinion? No one gets to come over who stresses out a new mama. And if that includes canceling a Thanksgiving invitation (or RSVP), so be it. Take the time to take care of yourself, so you can deal with everything else. Just dealing with new motherhood is already a lot, and you might need a few/several weeks away from your mom until you've got yourself together. What was your schedule like seeing your mom pre-baby or pre-pregnancy? You might try going back to that level of frequency. And the next time she calls asking to come over that day, say you need more advance notice and would prefer no same day drop-ins (especially if that wasn't your norm before). [/quote]
