[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mistakes of first-timers.

1. You don't stay over people's houses when your kid isn't STTN. YOu get a hotel, you get an Airbnb  stay home.

2. You don't go to someone else's house and demand they change their routine to accommodate you. You and your DH were rude here.

3. It sounds like your MIL was offering to help, maybe she thought you would appreciate someone else holding the baby or changing a diaper/feeding so you could get some sleep. Given your attitude, you would be here complaining if she didn't offer.

4. You  were rude.

5/ How you solve this call MIL  apologize for being brusk and pushing her., you were tired and didn't realize how difficult it would be traveling with a new baby. You see now that she was just trying to help and you appreciate that. With that in mind overnight visits will have to  wait until baby is  sleeping through the night.[/quote]

Nope, MIL being pushy and loud and not listening to or respecting her guests’ wishes was also rude. OP/her husband offered to stay in a hotel, and it was the ILs who asked for baby to stay under their roof. Oh well! No more overnight visits with your grandbaby. Bet the other set of parents who listen and respect the new parents will get more time and overnight visits with grandbaby. MIL and FIL will have to content themselves with hotel visits, or they can darn well drive five hours themselves. Oh well![/quote]

This. The real takeaway is never stay with MiL overnight again. Hotels and AirBnBs from now on, I would say even after STTN as another poster pointed out kids don’t always do well in new places. If MIL gets upset just say it was clearly too big of a disturbance to her last time.[/quote]
