[quote=Anonymous]OP here -- T-1 day, they are arriving tomorrow :D. Feeling optimistic that the combo of them staying at an Airbnb this time, me hanging back a bit more, and DH being clear about asking ILs to pitch in using some of the advice from this thread will help!

To those who have said the last visit didn't sound that bad -- in pre-baby times, I would totally agree and have enjoyed it! And I may very well be overthinking / more irritable from the lack of regular sleep and exercise -- another reason why I don't feel up for having overnight guests or hosting at this time.

Our typical days at the moment don't look anything like me getting dressed on time, having three regular meals, or going for a fun  "outing" every day so even having to maintain that basic structure while guests are here already feels more stressful.

I do value and want to have a good relationship with ILs and be able to welcome them often, which is why I'm hoping to slightly renegotiate the terms of their visits and get ahead of this issue so resentment does not built. Wish us luck for the weekend!!
