[quote=Anonymous]Just tell them "I love that you're so excited about the baby. I'm not committing to any vacations, or babysitting options or anything right now. Our plan (and you must train your husband to nod in agreement any time you say 'we') is to take things as they come. Please don't be offended if I don't want as much involvement as you do. As you know, you guys are extroverts while I'm an introvert, so I REALLY value quiet time." Then you can feel too unwell to go on vacation with them (they don't need to know if you go on baby moon with DH), and just say "A month-long visit is just too long for us now; a week would be perfect though." But you MUST get your DH backing you up, otherwise this will never work. In fact having him say it will work better. [/quote]
