[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just had a baby five days ago. My mom has been over helping. Been in a haze with no sleep etc. she then tells me that my uncle and his two toddlers and uncles mom (not my grandma) are coming over to meet the baby and drive her to the airport and they are on their way. My house is a mess and I’m not close with my uncle and am still wearing the hospital diaper. I said no, tell them not to come please, I am not ready for visitors. Well it was too late. They show up completely oblivious that I didn’t invite them. I come out crying saying I can’t believe my mother did this. They apologized and felt embarrassed and left. Now my mother is criticizing me saying that as a parent I need to be able to roll with the punches more and a baby is no excuse for embarrassing manners, life won’t always be on my terms and I have to behave appropriately when they aren’t. Can you tell me if I’m in the wrong here? I’m too exhausted for clarity [/quote]

From your later message it seems that your husband doubled down on your mom too. That’s really rude.

I’m with you, baby and mother are in a fragile health state 5 days post partum. If you and your mom followed tradition a bit more you wouldn’t be having this situation at all, quarantine, rudeness and all.

to be frank sometimes a super crazy reaction is the only thing that will teach pushy people a lesson.

Why would your husband not drive your mom to the airport? You are not telling something.

You were right to be upset, but you are also rude as heck, and entitled. Your mom shouldn’t be surprised. I’m sure it’s not your first time. I’m sure you’re entitled in your everyday life. There is no way a polite person not suffering from mental illness will turn like this just from giving birth.

Good like to you, and congratulations on having a baby and keeping yourselves safe. [/quote]
