Sorry if this thread isn't in the right place....
We are due out first dd in 4 weeks time and my mum is already talking about coming over from Ireland to England to visit.
I don't have a very good relationship with my mum and things are fraught at the best if times. She's a domineering know-it-all who doesn't know when to keep her opinions to herself.
I'm not keen on her coming in the first 2 weeks for a few reasons... 1) I expect me and my husband will be very tired and on short fuses - my mum will have to stay with us when she is here so there will be no kicking her out when we have had enough! 2) husband only gets 2 weeks paternity leave and I really want him to have this time to get to know his daughter without anyone interference before we have any visitors that stay with us.
On the other hand, this is the first grandchild for my mum so I know she's excited.
What have been your experiences in those first few weeks? Anyone else had to deal with parents or in laws visiting from a distance?
