Have been thinking about guests after I give birth (hopefully in Feb) and just wanted to see whether IAMBU or not!
DH and I live nowhere near our family and friends (all the grandparents to be will have to travel for at least three hours to visit). My thoughts at the moment are as follows:
No guests for first three days to allow recovery time
No overnight guests for at least the first month as will not be up to hosting. Will suggest local Travelodge for people who are travelling a long way.
All visits must be arranged beforehand and be mutually convenient.
I don't think that this will be an issue for my family and friends who for one thing know me well and how introverted I am but also have quite a bit of disposable income so won't be bothered by the Travelodge.
However ILs are not as wealthy so I'm worried that it will cause stress for them.
AIBU to have these boundaries in place?
