[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds like a weird “stick it to them” thing in response to you being annoyed that their free help can benefit both parties, which actually sounds like a great thing. Hormones raging, op? [/quote]

Not wanting an annoying dog around for *two weeks* right before and right after one gives birth is not unreasonable, or “sticking it” to anyone. You sound like an annoying dog owner who thinks everyone loves your dog all the time.

-Dog owner who boards my dog when needed so as not to be a total nuisance to hosts[/quote]

If I was offered round the clock free help with a newborn for two weeks, I’d let them bring whatever they want. [/quote]

“Help” that extends their stay significantly because it is convenient and brings an annoying dog with them can stay home. That’s not “help,” that’s a nuisance. [/quote]

Then they can simply say "thanks, but no thanks." What is Plan B for going to the hospital for delivery? Who will watch the other child and dog?[/quote]

OP’s family (parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins), neighbor, friend, babysitter, the list goes on and on. Do you have no one in your life to help but your ILs? Ew, what’s that like?[/quote]

Ew, yourself. OP is the one having her inlaws come. Why are they the chosen ones? Where is everyone else?[/quote]

Um, ask OP. But if you only have one set of ILs for help, I feel sorry for you. The fact that you don’t understand that OP likely has neighbors, friends, and her own family that can help is weird. Just because this is the plan (for now) doesn’t mean it is the only option.[/quote]

I did ask OP what the plan was Then you or someone came along with your comments. Unless you're OP nobody cares about your snark.[/quote]

You weren’t asking, you were being sarcastic and trying to make a point. You failed. [/quote]

Whatever weirdo. You're not OP, nobody cares what you think. [/quote]
