[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - what responses!  I think asking 1-2 months is not unreasonable, given the massive adjustment we’ll be going through.  The rules apply across the board.  And for everyone saying “have a heart, let them come at 2-3 weeks” - a month is four weeks.  Is it really that big of a difference?

I’ve read several articles advocating waiting at least a month before allowing strangers around. I’m not interested in being immediately post-partum, bleeding, leaking milk/breastfeeding etc with my in-laws around.  At least not until I get the hang of it.  Is this really cruel, ridiculous, and selfish?  I just don’t get these responses.[/quote]

Then why are you here? You asked how to set this boundary WITHOUT CAUSING A RIFT. Sorry, but you can’t. The responses here are telling you that.

Go ahead and keep them away for 4-8 weeks. I don’t care and neither does anyone here. BUT don’t come and post that your ILs are upset, miffed, or bothered by this. [/quote]

Stop being nasty to OP. My mom didn’t meet my first born for 2 months because she wouldn’t get vaccinated and was fine with our boundaries. Once it was warm enough for an outside visit, they met and everything was fine.  OP - it’s your kid, do what you want. [/quote]
It’s so irritating when people post experiences that are completely different. First, your mom was fine with it. Second, she had an option to change it by getting vaccinated. It’s not the same at all![/quote]
