[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ILs are intrusive. It's not all about the baby. [b]You need to recover and bond and don't need to be worrying about entertaining visitors or cleaning up after them. If anything, they should be helping you cook and clean.[/b]  Set clear boundaries and if they don't like it, they can pout, but it's not your problem. [/quote]

this. my motto is if you aren't going to be helpful, be quiet and out of the way.

when my dh was recovering from major surgery, MIL and SIL came by to visit and check on him. i had just finished making lunch for dh and me. SIL had the nerve to walk in and say- "oh good,  you made lunch." and helped herself to a full plate, leaving no leftovers. i thought that was BEYOND rude. don't you think i have enough of my plate trying to keep up the house, cook a healthy meal, and care for dh? i would never come empty handed to someone's home after surgery and actually eat their food. i made a mental note then and there that she will likely be a very unhelpful/annoying aunt.[/quote]
