[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s the length of visit and where is everyone staying?[/quote]

OP here. They will be arriving next Wednesday and staying until Sunday. They are all staying at our home. [/quote]

DH needs to get them a hotel. Period. And frankly, your newborn is very susceptible to viruses at this stage, and is DH just oblivious to the fact that we are in a summer surge of both Covid and RSV? And that both can be extremely serious for young infants? (Before the "Covid is over!" people pile on, tell that to the multiple people we know who've had it or have it now, and they're not just feeling like they have "colds.") That alone would make me say a hard no to any visits at all. But if you can remotely stomach the invasiveness--they Do. Not. Stay. With. You. You'll be exhausted from night feedings and crabby as hell and rightfully so.

First baby, OP? DH has zero idea how little sleep both of you are going to get and how very much under your feet even the nicest, most helpful houseguests will feel.

This is your sign that he might be like this going forward -- obliviously expecting it's always the more, the merrier. I hope not, and I hope this is just a huge rookie mistake and he learns from it. But I'd be sure to be crystal clear that this was overstepping. Maybe he needs a friend who's already a dad to tell him the truth about how this is not the time for houseguests--especially multiple ones, on different weekends, FFS. And Wed. to Sun? That's insane.[/quote]
