[quote=Anonymous]As one who has unhelpful, high maintenance parents, I feel for you. With all the push back, you just have to be matter of fact. Since they want a long visit, let their first visit be when the baby is a couple months old. They can stay for a week, need to rent a car, and figure out food for themselves. If they ignore all this, you need to stick to your guns when they show up. Don't cook for them or cater to them. Of there is one time in life to be a little selfish, now is it. I say this as a FTM to twins who had parents show up while I was recovering from a c-section...and expected to be given the red carpet treatment. They did not lift a finger, and even brought their Yorkie along. DH is mildly allergic to dogs. We knew better, but were too tired to push back once the babies were here. My feelings towards my parents have not recovered.[/quote]
