About to give birth to my second. We have a 3 bed house - mine/DH's room, DD's room and a guest bedroom which will be the new nursery. With 12 days to go before a planned c-section, I asked DH to please finally take down the guest double bed, so we can set up at least the nursing chair and changing table in the nursery for when the baby comes home.
It happens that MIL offered to sleep at ours while we are in hospital to look after our eldest. Now there is a "question" of where she will sleep if we take down the guest bedroom to set up the nursery. I was naturally thinking she was going to sleep in my bedroom, it's just for a couple of nights. And she will go back to her own house once we are back from hospital. But apparently I am being asked to not set up the nursery because MIL is more "comfortable" (?) sleeping in the "guest" bedroom, and we should set up the nursery AFTER baby is home. Am I missing something here? Is it unreasonable to ask that she sleeps in our bedroom for 1 or 2 nights so we can have the nursery set up and ready for when we come home? DD can't go stay at MIL's house at she has school. This would never have been an issue with my mother so I am very confused. My mother is ready to step in, but we thought we would let MIL have a role as she asked to help. Am I being oversensitive about wanting the baby's room to be somewhat ready for when I get home? Maybe my nesting instinct is clouding my judgement lol!
