[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - what responses!  I think asking 1-2 months is not unreasonable, given the massive adjustment we’ll be going through.  The rules apply across the board.  And for everyone saying “have a heart, let them come at 2-3 weeks” - a month is four weeks.  Is it really that big of a difference?

I’ve read several articles advocating waiting at least a month before allowing strangers around. I’m not interested in being immediately post-partum, bleeding, leaking milk/breastfeeding etc with my in-laws around.  At least not until I get the hang of it.  Is this really cruel, ridiculous, and selfish?  I just don’t get these responses.[/quote]

But why won't you let them visit, stay in a hotel, and come by one day to see a newborn? Are you also going to deny this visit to your bestie, neighbors, anyone else you know?[/quote]

Some in-laws would be HIGHLY offended at bring asked to stay at a hotel, and would try to insist on staying more than one day. Especially if they live far, they won’t want to spend a day traveling just to visit for one afternoon. [/quote]
