@fedup21 no idea what they will do to be honest 🤷🏾♀️ There’s only so many times you can go into town etc etc
@Weenurse yeah definately - I think OH gets it now like even time with the baby feels split so the last few mornings baby has been with him upstairs and inlaws are a bit like 🙄 but we won’t get time back with baby at this age so we need to make the most of it too as he still sleeps a lot he’s only small
@MondayTuesdayWednesday I don’t think OH has gone the right way about it - it’s my home too & he should have discussed the changes to their plans ahead of them getting here. MIL shouldn’t be saying stuff about my weight when I’ve just had a baby - women need to support one another not be trying to put others down. It’s uncalled for and has a negative impact on many women postpartum especially. I find it rather annoying when they ask the same questions over and over again etc and moan about things. I am trying to get to know them and they are welcome here anytime but they could have been logical about it and hired a Airbnb for 2/3 weeks and split the time. I can’t relate to just landing into someone’s house with zero plans and expecting them to just take you around constantly. It’s been nearly 2 weeks and OH has been out with them almost every day - which is fine as that’s why he’s booked time off but it shows disregard to other people’s time family or not. They aren’t monsters but it’s too much to have them in my space for that long. We have 5 humans and a dog in a 2 bed room - thankfully we have a conservatory which is used as a proper living space too and they’ve taken over the office as a bedroom. It’s just a nightmare. They are welcome anytime just hire a Airbnb or something though.
@Helenj1977 I’m looking forward to it 😂 almost 2 weeks down 🙈
@stucknoue I was told they would be meeting some friends but that’s not happening any longer 🙄 they are going to visit some family for a few days Friday so hopefully that will give us some breathing room.
@MarniLou they are more than welcome to see their grandson but he’s small still & is sleeping a lot so the time he is awake is mostly for feed / nappy bit of play and back to sleep. OH will be going to visit them as usual it’s not feasible for myself and baby to be going every year long term because there are other places I want to take baby to visit not just the same country on repeat for years to come. The whole point of being self employed though is freedom and so I’m carrying on with this but when baby is nursery etc it will make it more challenging. Just one of those things it is what it is. I don’t think it’s shameful behaviour - I’ve been welcoming and suggested things to do and have been out with them etc so I may be posting just the negatives - I’ve defo been trying & letting them spend as much time as poss with baby ie when awake I’ll feed and get him changed and let him play downstairs ASAP before he’s ready to sleep again.
@LittleRedMushroom I can but it stresses me out being away from my own house I love my homely comforts & own space 🙈 unless I’m on holiday of course
@Cherrysoup I don’t know if it’s a male thing to be honest.... I wouldn’t dream of going somewhere for 6 weeks with no plans but I’m a traveller and appreciate my time & experiences and would hate to just be somewhere and have zero plans - grandkids or not!
@RandomMess I think so too 😂 my mum is surprised I haven’t lost my shit yet - doesn’t know that I have silently 😂
@Xyzzzzz same - mentioned it to his sister and she said they don’t mean any harm by it 🤦🏾♀️ Then again she ain’t had a baby so can’t relate 🙄
