after the babys born

Question

I have a question my mil (mother in law) wants me to come stay at her house after the baby is born for like a week so she can take care of me and the baby. She's kind of controlling. I'm not sure I want to give her that control and then to think she can just do whatever she wants all the time. What do u guys think ?? I think I'd rather just go home. It would be nice for her to do stuff for me but I don't wanna wake up and she be sleeping with my baby not me you know??

My mother in law is incredible and I would actually be more stressed about staying with my mom. Whatever you feel is best but I think some help is nice!

My mother in law is amazing and she helps a lot but she also gives me my personal space. She is coming down from Maryland to Georgia to help for that week and she'll be gone at night so that I can have time alone with my son.

I love with my mother in law and I wouldn't recommend it. As much as I love her she can be very overbearing and overwhelming. If you are afraid that she will take over odds are she will, have her come to you because I don't think having someone else take care of your child the first week is ideal for anyone.

Yeah at first I was like that will be really nice. But then I keep thinking and thinking. I think its a bad idea. Yeah she can come over if she wants to help.

My mother in law wanted the same so i agreed cuz I felt bad. It was uncomfortable for me because she kept trying to help me breast feed my son. Do what makes you comfortable

My mom came and stayed with us. Being a ftm it really helped a lot. I had a c section as well so she was my life savor. The first week is tough emotionally but if you dont want to then its your choice.
