[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dunno.  As someone who had ill-timed houseguests for both of my pregnancies/births, I don't think I'd be too annoyed about this.   Maybe a 3 out of 10.  My first was really difficult and I barely slept, but it was nice to have someone around to talk to.  My second was so easy and slept so much that I was really bored and again, it was nice to at least have someone to pass time with.

Are we talking like...doesn't lift a finger as in won't make dinner/clean up?  Or she won't even make sandwiches?   [/quote]

Has never made a sandwich or meal or offered me a cup of water before. Extremely unhelpful. I’ll be expected to cook for her. [/quote]

You'll be expected by whom to cook for her? Nip it in the bud. If that's your DH's expectation, tell him now that you will not be cooking for anyone that month as you will be gestating and/or recovering. If that's your MIL's expectation, have your DH tell her the same.

Since you're about to be a parent, now is a good time to set boundaries based on what is best for you and the baby, other people's expectations be damned.[/quote]
