I am due to give birth to DC2 at the end of May. DH's parents are due to visit us (they live abroad) end of June. That would mean bub would be roughly 1 month old.
They have booked 8 weeks to come to the UK.
At first I didn't think much of it but now starting to think 8 weeks in an awfully long time to have them stay with us. Especially with a new born and a toddler. (DD1 will be 3 next month)
I think they have mentioned a desire to do a few trips around Europe maybe Paris for a couple of weeks possibly.
I get along with them ok. They are very different to me and my family though. I would say I can be feisty, outspoken, forthright. I don't hold back. Although their idea of an 'altercation' is me getting a bit annoyed and walking away in a huff (HA!) They are non confrontational, but can be very judgemental behind closed doors. Quite conservative and not as open minded shall we say. DH's mum also has very little patience for DD despite being a primary school teacher for many years. She says she doesn't know how to 'deal' with her (she's got a bit of pizazz like her mummy 
)
So I suggested to DH maybe we could rent them an apartment nearby. We have 3 bedrooms but since DH works I usually stay in the spare room with baby when doing night feeds etc. this won't be possible with them around. DH says no way to apartment idea, that's horrible wouldn't think of it etc. I'm not sure if I should be more concerned and push for a compromise, or if I should just go with the flow and not rock the boat. What would you do?
