My parents wants to fly in from overseas to stay with us for over a month when baby comes. I don't think I can handle living with them again. Last time my son was born they were here, although grateful for the cooking and cleaning my mum did, I found the whole experience unbearable. Had a bad time trying to breastfeed, not to mention that my parents disapproves of breastfeeding; and they gave me looks each time when I tried to breastfeed. I found they are unable to respect or treat me (or my husband to an extent) as a adult - to this day my mum still say 'good girl' to me e.g. when I bring her a cup of tea (I am over 30). I know my 2 year old is going to be very demanding when the little one comes and I have to do what's best for them. Do you have similar experience with interferring parents? What would you do?

Parents want to come and stay to help when baby is born but I don't ... am I being unreasonable?
