Add me to the posters who think your DH is selfish and out of touch with reality. My DH did NOT particularly want his mom to visit after our DC was born because she is full of drama--I was the one who pushed for it, because I wanted to include her, start things out on the right foot. My only stipulation was that she not be at the hospital until we called her after the baby was born. Then she could come.

Well, she showed up at the hospital and tried to barge into the delivery room, caused a fight with the nurses and got thrown out of L&D, and it was just downhill from there. DC was tongue tied and we had to deal with poor latch and I had to pump and pump and pump for the first few days. My milk would just not come, and my MIL was in my face about it, why couldn't I do it, why wasn't I trying and I was sobbing. I was bleeding all over the place...it wasn't pretty.

And just in general, she created a lot of work: wanted to hold baby all the time and I wasn't comfortable with anyone holding my baby yet. She wanted to give DC her first taste of rice cereal at 5 days and we had a knock down drag out fight over that and I STILL (judging by the opened box I found in our pantry months later) think she might have given it to her on the sly! She wanted to be entertained constantly, complained about being bored, and asked repeatedly for DH to run her errands. Just...NEVER AGAIN.

About an hour after she left on Day 6 my milk finally came in with a vengeance. I think it was stress that made it take so long. [/quote]
