[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Not sure how some posters are interpreting my setting boundaries with my mom regarding visiting during the birth as cutting her off "entirely." The move is a temporary one intended to ensure I have healthy emotional support during a stressful time. I also think it would set an unwise and unhealthy precedent to apologize for expressing my needs and setting boundaries. And no, I'm not going to leave my home and "hide" in a hotel postpartum. That would reinforce a message for both of us that I am not adult enough to hold my ground in my own home. Not the move. I do agree with the advice to calmly have a conversation with my mom once again expressing my feelings and boundaries. Recognizing my mom's emotional limitations and measuring my expectations also seems like very sound advice. Thank you! [/quote]
