DP and i are expecting our 1st in next few weeks and v. excited.
much less excited by visitors issue. both sets of grandparents seem to think it will be acceptable for them to be around constantly, have been told that (childless) friends will be coming up to stay/popping over whenever they feel like it etc etc.
DP and I wanted to have 2 weeks alone with baby (as then he has to go back to work) and do some bonding, have now changed this to say family can visit in hospital and after a week at home, after 2 weeks friends. We have tried to tell people we think we will be a little overwhelmed so could they just bear with us and are being made to feel really mean.
AIBU? i know that we may change our minds but at the moment we're really tempted to not tell anyone when we have the baby so we get some peace... I know that it's their grandchild /neice /friends baby and they're excited but i feel like we're going to be overrun...
