[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds like a weird “stick it to them” thing in response to you being annoyed that their free help can benefit both parties, which actually sounds like a great thing. Hormones raging, op? [/quote]

Not wanting an annoying dog around for *two weeks* right before and right after one gives birth is not unreasonable, or “sticking it” to anyone. You sound like an annoying dog owner who thinks everyone loves your dog all the time.

If I was offered round the clock free help with a newborn for two weeks, I’d let them bring whatever they want. [/quote]

You need to re-read the original post, that is not the situation at all. [/quote]

Nah you need to re-read it, cuz that’s exactly the situation. Also wtf if I was going to someone else’s house for an extended time to help them that’s exactly when I’d schedule my bathroom remodel who wouldn’t?!

My FIL is a guaranteed 100x more nuisance than any damn dog and you can’t usually lock him in a closet but when you need help you need help so yup he gets to come along. OP’s going to regret burning a bridge with family who apparently is willing to help when OP needs and wants it.

also, the posters who compare family help to neighbor help are very funny and apparently do not have good family. I have the best neighbors in the world and I’d say mediocre family, and the help and comfort level with asking for favors is not even in the same league. [/quote]

In my experience is much more often the grandparents who have a poor showing in situations like this who live to regret it. [/quote]
