[quote=Anonymous]Send her home early, OP. This is my MIL to a tee. She insisted on coming to “help” with the baby when my eldest was born. Help apparently involved sitting on our couch snuggling the baby, constantly falling asleep with him on her chest even though we asked her not to do that, and expecting to be waited on hand and foot by us. She handed him off for feeding, crying, diaper changes, etc, and basically acted like she was on vacation - stayed up late watching movies and sipping wine, and slept in until 10 am every day. We cooked for her and cleaned up after her. We did not invite her to visit when our second was born and waited until the baby was a couple of months old and we were in a solid routine. She was hurt and it caused some drama, but we were not about to be waiting on her while also caring for a toddler and a newborn. And before anyone comments, she was in her 50s, healthy and fit, and still worked full time. [/quote]
