[quote=Anonymous]Grandparent behavior can often be toddlerish. I want I want I want I want my way my way my way my way I'm special I'm special I'm special.... I know from my own experience as a FTM how grandparents can assert themselves quickly and quite forcefully when it comes to the birth of a first grandchild (OF COURSE I'm going to be at the hospital. Where else would I be!?) My own mother started to lose patience 12 hours into my labor because the baby wasn't coming fast enough-- for HER. Just set out the rules from the get-go. You are not obliged to invite them to stay for weeks. They're not going to stay mad at you forever; afterall, they want to see their grandchild, so being pissy with you isn't going to help their cause. [/quote]
