[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can definitely see how this is annoying, but I'm not with you on the waiting a month to see a newborn first grandchild. They should be told of the impending birth when labor starts, just like your mom. Then they can get there as quickly as possible with a little help for logistics from your husband and meet the baby at the first feasible opportunity. Denying them access while your mother stays and helps 24-7 is just cruel. Plus, you just never know what help you will need. I had a very colicky baby, and even though my mom and mil are both bat-sh*t crazy, they we both there with me, taking 15 minute shifts walking around with a screaming baby all night. To those new moms, it takes a village.[/quote] Disagree. Postpartum isn't easy for new moms. I would not want my MIL living with me. That's just the way it is. She can of course see the baby, but MIL isn't staying with us. No way. I gave birth, I want my own mom only. [/quote]
