[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I am starting to get really anxious about this whole visiting thing.  First, I can't stand my MIL and I don't enjoy her visits before we got pregnant.  She stays way too long and is not helpful and I don't enjoy her company.  I would like her to stay for a max of 3 days and stay in a hotel, but even then I'm not sure exactly what she would be doing.  Holding the baby a bit, maybe she might be helpful, but then she will be sitting on my couch the rest of the time.  She does not sightsee on her own or have anyone else to visit in the area, and DH will be occupied with me and the baby.

My parents claim they will be helpful, and will cook and clean, but I'm not sure what they're going to do if they visit either in between their claims to help cook and clean.  They will be watching TV the whole time I guess.  They also do not sightsee on their own or have anyone else to visit in the area.

I feel really confused and stressed about all this.  I have had a difficult pregnancy so far, especially the last few weeks, am due any day now and am just exhausted already.  I have no idea how I'm going to get through labor and delivery being this exhausted, let alone dealing with family who want to visit right away after the birth.[/quote]
