I have my mother and younger sister to stay with me for 3 weeks until after my baby is born. This is because I have pregnancy hypertension/being monitored for preeclampsia and I'm in-and-out of hospital and my husband works long hours. So they're here to help look after my toddler.
Problem is, they'll entertain her, sort of...if she's in a good mood but won't do any of the hard things like dress her, bath her, put her to bed, make sure she eats something. Then they'll half-cook and half-clean up but bare minimum stuff...like washing dishes but leaving saucepans, putting away food,wiping surfaces, cleaning floors and so on to me.
I'm finding I have more housework now than if they weren't here, along with extra clothes in the laundry. I have asked that they do a bit more than the bare minimum but they don't, saying they don't know where things are kept or that they don't know how x, y, z works.
They mostly sit and take over the TV meaning I can't watch whatever I might have watched anyway.
On the plus side, if they weren't here I would get no break from my toddler at all. I'm exhausted so at least I can sometimes sneak up to bed or for a bath. If they weren't here I'm not sure I could cope, plus my husband would have to take time off work to look after her when I'm in the hospital.
AIBU??? Thanks.
