I'm 15:16. We lived in a 700 sq ft one-bedroom, and my parents and ILs STILL came to visit on separate occasions.
it can be done, and people live like this all over the world, OP.

Anyway, whatever works for you.

OP here. Yes I agree it can be done and why we are NOT moving, and i am firm on that. Do PP's feel its a disaster because of privacy? Or grandma dynamics?

Because all the grandparents want to be over 24/7 from the minute I leave the hospital I thought Id go crazy having them all in our apartment at once, there is no space for me to escape to, too many people wanting to be incharge telling me what to do etc.

So of we stayed at SMIL's their house is very spacious. Theoretically if eveyone was over at the same time there would be enough space to go and have privacy. I suppose I might have more luck setting boundries at my own house but i really didnt think they'd react so strongly because it's just a few days.  I also thought they'd respect that SMIL works with newborns everyday. Once I feel like I am relaxed, I can be an anxious person, which should be after a few days, we'll be home and grandmas can come over anyday after work. I'd gladly have them help with the baby, hold the baby etc while I nap or run an errand.

I know i should be happy I have help but not when it's a competition. This has to only be because it's first grandchild?
