[quote=Anonymous]i am sorry op. if my inlaws lived close they would probably do the same thing. i cant stand when they say "we dont want to see you we just want to see the baby" in reference to visits or facetime. i get it but the baby is a baby amd therefore its my time too that they are asking for. i would have some serious discussions with your husband about expectations and boundaries. you both need to be happy and you both need to comprimise to make that happen. my inlaws are the same push back type and the more you stand firm the better but it has to be standing firm from both your dh and you not just you. i would not let anyone try and guilt trip you into leaving the baby if you are not ready. that is totally normal and ok and you should do that when you are ready not when someone bullied you into it. when they ask to visit on weekends and you dont want to at the time they asked/demanded - have you tried saying that weekend will not work for us but we would love to have you over next saturday night for dinner. or something like that? a deny with a alternate suggestion attached? or maybe you and your husband should plan out in advance what times you are ok with visitors and when you want just your own time? is this their first grandchild? i am a very private person and greatly enjoy my space so i can relate. it has been hard to adjust to the inlaws wanting more time from us since we had the baby but we live out of town so that has been our saving grace.
