[quote=Anonymous]I would stand firm with what you want. They will push but just push back.

Personally, having both of them at the same time sounds even more stressful to me. I would have your parents come first, MIL to come after your parents visit. Having them at the same time for a short visit might leave all of them feeling short changed with baby time.
If you are having visitors come immediately after the birth, and you would prefer a hotel for them, I would go for it. I just remember there were a lot of times the first week or two that I kept thinking I was so glad no one was around because you just feel gross with bleeding and hot flashes and milk, etc. I was just so happy that I didn't have to put myself together to entertain anyone! Having them at the hotel will give you the privacy you need.

We refused visitors for the first two week and after that they only came for a quick weekend visit. Having someone stay with me for a week or two or three would drive me crazy. I know most people like the help but it is just not for me. We were fine and I honestly can't imagine what we would have done the whole time with 3 weeks of help. [/quote]
