I know this one has been asked to death, but I'll through my hat in the ring with this one.
I'm expecting my first dc in March. First gc on both sides. I get on really well with my in laws, we don't see them much (I have to pester dh that we haven't seen them in a while). She is extremely excited for baby, buying loads of stuff already which hasn't freaked me out (I'm very impressed with myself lol) I guess my question is, I know that the status quo is going to change and we won't be left alone from family as much but I'm wondering for first time mums were you particularly possessive of your newborn. No extended family from either side comes to visit us before hand and I'm worried that I'm in for a rude awakening with crazy baby mad people coming out the woodwork. I personally don't get it, I wouldn't go out my way to visit a family with a new baby until asked.
Thanks for reading my rambling anyway lol
