[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are making perfect sense and she's being self-centered and dramatic. And she also seems to be suffering some selective amnesia about what it means to have a newborn. I'm glad your husband is sticking with you - good for him. Your MIL can deal. They should be letting you decide what's best, or at most coming to your hometown, staying in hotels, and coming to your house to cook dinner. I swear, some people get so hysterical and entitled about the holidays. Talk about defeating the purpose.[/quote]

Yes, she's had two children, you'd think she'd remember that!

Actually, when I told her about germs, she told me she was a maternity nurse and I was being unreasonable. She was a maternity nurse in the 1960s! Things were quite different then, not to mention that helping babies to be born is quite different from taking care of infants weeks after birth.

Honestly, she's never been particularly unreasonable so I am not sure where this is coming from. Apparently DH pointed out to her about the fact that I may still be recovering (last time I was still sitting on special pillows 3 weeks in and bleeding) and she poo-pooed it. Basically, I am going to take PPs' advice and disengage. I won't even bring it up again unless she does. [/quote]
