[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many weeks have you been in your new place? Is she not helpful? I think it'd be better to let her come visit and watch DD while you do all these chores and settling in. Seems a little cruel to reject your mama.[/quote]

OP, Unfortunately, no, my mama is not helpful. She's "hold the baby" helpful. [/quote]

But couldn't she hold the baby while you do all the work?[/quote]

Not OP, but that expression usually means that the person doesn't actually want to do work, they just want to do the fun stuff (e.g., cuddle the baby). OP's child is 18 months, and from what OP has said I suspect her mother will be less the type to actually care for her grandchild and keep her out of the parents' hair, and more likely to want to play with her for a little bit and then have the parents take over when a diaper needs changing, the kid is hungry, etc. She won't be helping, and she'll be making extra work for OP by being a houseguest.[/quote]
