[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mom lives in CA so it's a hike that will require some planning. She's talking about things like moving to a condo near DC for a month or two near the birth so she can be ready and here to help.

She's a good person and we generally get along well. But I'm also fiercely independent (see moving 3000 miles away) and I don't typically like to be vulnerable around anyone but my husband.

I think she'd respect whatever I want, but having not been through it I don't know what that is. Suggestions?  Anyone navigate something similar?[/quote]

I'm 38 weeks, mom is also in CA. We discussed and decided that she'd come out two weeks before my due date and stay with me. My situation is a little different because I'm alone (dual military, duty stations on opposite sides of the country). I know my mom is going to drive me nuts (I love her, but we're basically the same person...) but I knew I was going to want her. She comes out at the end of the week on an open-ended ticket and will leave "when I kick her out." I think it's going to be tough before the baby comes, but since I plan to work as long as I can, I figure I can manage the evenings and weekends. After, I know I'm going to want her. [/quote]
