[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here...and he's not even the only one. Another one of DH's friends wants to come in and stay with us from out of state right after the baby is born because he wants to go to go on a roadtrip with DH and he's like "Oh I'll just stay with you guys and the baby! And then DH and I will just go away for a few days!"

DH is one of those people that people flock to because he's super personable--everyone wants to be friends with him. But a lot of these people just don't get it.[/quote]

A road trip!?!?  What is wrong with these people?

Possible solution.  Send the road trip buddy and the “I want to be there for the birth” Buddy on a road trip together before you go into labor :)

Also, for what it’s worth - and I hope you don’t need to resort to this - but the nurses at sibley and presumably other hospitals will absolutely tell visitors that they can’t come in and have to wait in the waiting rooms.[/quote]

Thanks for the support, everyone. I was afraid I was just flipping out so it's good to see that my reaction is justified.

The hard part is my own family won't be there since one of my parents is extremely ill and needs constant care so it's extra frustrating and infuriating for me that these people are acting like they can take the place of my family -- referring to themselves as uncles/brothers, etc. when they've never even met my real family or made an effort to ask about them.[/quote]

Your reaction is completely justified, though honestly, it seems like these are not important people.

My bigger concern would be how your husband reacts to this. Like, he does not seriously think he's going on a road trip with his friends and having them stay over in the house when you have a fresh baby, right? He doesn't think that it's a "cool supportive thing" for his friend to show up with a sixer at the hospital?[/quote]

DH put his foot down, though he was much nicer about it than I would have been and was like, "well he doesn't understand because he doesn't have kids so we should be nice."
