[quote=Anonymous]We're still new to living out of town from friends and relatives. I'm on maternity leave. IL's want to come visit during the week. DH works, DS is in preschool, and I have a schedule of moms groups with my 2 month old and playgroups with my 3 year old when he's not in school. I get along ok with the ILs, but don't really love their company or want them tagging along with me when dh isn't around. They mean well, but they're the types who aren't helpful during their visits and like to tell me how to do things, and entertaining them on my own is too stressful as we're still adjusting to the 2 kid thing and lack of sleep.

Is it horribly rude of us to insist they come on weekends, rather than during the week? They have asked to come on weekdays, but don't seem to understand that ds isn't around during much of the day and it's important for me to take the limited time I have off from work to do the mom group thing to try to finally make some friends around here. They're the types who want to be entertained, and not stay at home while I go about my day.

Since we're not used to having to arrange family visits, do most people have family visit during the week or on weekends? If it's the norm, then fine, but it seems like it would be rather inconvenient.[/quote]
