New Baby Visitation

[Sauu9123]

My DH and I have a three week old DD. Next weekend relatives of my DH are visiting. They are a very sullen family and easily offended. What is the minimum amount of time I can invite them for and AIBU if I ask them to leave when their time is up? How should I phrase both requests? I am dreading next weekend and I would really appreciate any advice.

Be in bed when they arrive. DH brings down baby, you appear looking very tired and pale about ten minutes later, in dressing gown. Once conversation starts to flag, you make your excuses and go for a lie down with baby... Should set the tone for a nice short visit.

Another one about inlaws. FGS it's your husband's child too. You have had a baby, you are not ill. I can't understand why the idea of showing your lovely child off to people isn't appealing .Celebrate the fact that you have people who are obviously thrilled about the birth of your child and want to see you. I really do think most of these threads about post birth visits are about exerting control over people.
