[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do so many older people insist on hosting and then make it miserable? Per OP, they knew what the visit would involve in terms of nighttime wake ups, insisted their son, DIL, and new baby stay there, and then refused to accept reasonable boundaries like "please don't disrupt our nighttime routine." I wouldn't stay there under those circumstances - hotel ftw.[/quote]

But really, what did MIL that was apparently so egregious? She was in the hallway, which seems to be a common hallway Tory bathroom, and was asking if everything was okay. 2 adults getting up and a baby crying is a lot of commotion in the middle of the night. I would expect the baby part, but not everything else that seems to come along with OP and her middle of the night routine.[/quote]

Oh please. She did this three nights in a row, after being specifically told that it was disruptive and unhelpful.  Asking if "everything is ok" at that point is clearly disingenuous.[/quote]

So is not switching up the routine since it's obviously more disruptive than she thought. Everyone should compromise a little and be flexible.[/quote]

Yes, she should just tell her baby not to wake up.  Or hold her pee all night with a postpartum bladder.[/quote]
