[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've seen these request everywhere. I had a mom friend who has shared this on fb during her second pregnancy a few months ago. As a 1st time mom   I decided to limit visitors and overnight guests because believe it or not people will invite themselves over and look for you to meet their needs . Becoming a new mom is a life changing experience and this mom should be allowed room to  adjust. I would not send out this email but would say no visitors at this time including family . It's a private time for mom, dad and baby. Hubby needs to help out more because newborns usually require something ever two or three hours around the clock. I feel sorry that the mom needed to send this out but she has her reasons and is trying to be accommodating  to clueless and self centered adults she knows. It's easier to just say no visitors at this time and that includes grandparents and aunts.

I have to agree with this.  So, SIL doesn't really know tact.  It is her first time as a mom.  Can anyone fault her for wanting what is best for her?

I think those that argue are the ones who were barged in on by relatives; like MIL who had sucky birth experiences.  Not everyone is okay with that.
