I'm wondering what other people think about when it's best to have a family member ( in this case my mum) to stay after giving birth? I live overseas so she'll be staying for about two weeks. She really wants to come very soon after the baby is born but my husband is worried she'll take over and he'll get pushed out.
My mum does love babies and she will want to be hands on. However, I think I'll be able to tell her if she's being a bit overbearing. My DH works fairly long hours and will only get 1 week paternity leave so if I don't have my mum there I'm likely to be on my own with a newborn most of the time. Wwyd?
