[quote=Anonymous]Wow, I hope the OP and the PPs who think it's perfectly reasonable to ban an IL visit to a new grandchild are making sure that you only have girls ... otherwise watch out because you know what they say about karma.

A new mom should be afforded every possible comfort and prerogative, and there are lots of restrictions that are totally reasonable - she should be able to determine whom she wants to see her in labor; who stays at the house after the baby is born; etc. But banning the grandparents from coming to see their grandchild at all is over the top. I'd be interested in hearing the OP's explanation - what possible imposition can it be to let them spend a few hours in your house with your newborn a few days after you come home from the hospital?

I don't even like my ILs but if they lived within driving distance I can't even imagine telling them they couldn't lay eyes on their new grandchild for weeks even as my own mother stayed overnight. It's just obnoxious and sets you up for a lot of power struggles and marital conflict down the road.
