How do I stop DM & Dmil coming round every week?

I have a 5 week old baby so I get that they want to visit but it's making me feel a bit claustrophobic. Before baby was here they used to visit twice a year! Now it's every week and it's driving me nuts.
Not only that but I'm getting texts & calls every single day!

How do I get them to back off?

How long are they there? Surely its nice for your relatives to be involved?

We have never been that kind of family and had some pretty big fall outs for things they've both done in the past. I really don't want to see them every week!

Could you go to them, one of them one week the other the next so you won't see them so often and you can go home escape when you are ready.

I understand op, I’d just send a message saying you are just trying to get into your own routine and will invite them to yours when suitable.
If they take the huff that’s up to the, but either way win win.

balls , not everyone has the type of family you want to be involved in a regular basis. I would love to but unfortunately I don’t and by the sounds of it the op doesn’t either.

Put diary dates in, use the phrase 'sorry can't do that day but can do ....'
