To not want to entertain every Saturday?

[BalticUnicorn]

Hello
My mum and dad I speak to about 3 times a week they live 10 mins away. I'm 23 weeks pregnant too. Recently they're phoning every Saturday to come round and if I ignore the phone they come anyway. I've stated hiding at times as after a week in work in exhausted and don't really want to entertain and I'm busy doing other things.
Today my phone died so they phoned dh to ask if they can come round we were out but then I get a text saying bring the dog round to ours.
It's not that I don't like seeing them but I'm knackered alot and after speaking to them 3 times a week have little to say on a weekend. I also don't like that when I haven't answered the phone they turn up anyway! Am I a bitch?

Of course you're not a bitch.

Tell them you want to rest at the weekend just with your Dh, if they get huffy ignore it.

No you aren't but I think you need to keep repeating that you are tired and need some time and that you don't want to see them every Saturday - maybe agree to make arrangements to see them rather than just ad hoc turning up and then they'll know what's going on and you are more in control

YANBU, but you need to actually talk to them. Make plans with them when it suits you (and them!), and make other plans that don't involve them.

Could you pre-empt this by inviting yourself round to theirs instead? Then they could entertain, and you could put your feet up.

Trust me on this... Get boundaries in place BEFORE the baby arrives or they'll be popping in all the damn time. Use very clear language and say you need time alone with your husband, and if they want to come by they need permission or an invitation first.

Tell them that you work all week and don't always want to deal with company and not to turn up without conformation that it's ok to do so.

Aqua is right, once baby arrives they will be popping around all the time. Get boundaries in place while you can.

You just need to be as clear as you've been here, state the reasons and ask that they stick by that. You speak to them quite a bit so it is fair.

I'd avoid putting any plans in to see them X amount of times per month or anything like that as it's setting expectations you may not be able to keep. Maybe just say you'll invite them when you can but on your end that also means trying to make an effort to do so from time to time as these things do slip away as life runs away with us.
