I didn't have people around thankfully. The day after I got home my daughter dad sister had flown in so she was here with his parents. We all went to dinner with my fam. After that no one was around. This time my husbands family is very hovering type I'm worried his mom will randomly drop in with people cuz she thinks that is perfectly ok. I'm not ok with it! I'm hoping her living hr and half away will stop that. My hubby says he wants his friends over too...ugh I want to be alone!

Yea for me it was a little overwhelming with everyone around nd it being our first day home, I just needed time to relax nd take everything in. Its only been two weeks for me, but this second week is much better. The first week, I felt like I had to be in his face all day when all he does is sleep. I'm still adjusting to everything but its much smoother then the first couple days. Its a big adjustment nd a little scary but Just remember to relax nd stay calm, don't overwhelm yourself. (:

I got really annoyed. I didn't say anything about it because of past issues. It wasn't worth it to me. My mil told me that right after we were married she's was going to come down for a few months to stay... with fil and sil and bil. This was 2yrs before 1st pregnancy. I was in shock! She told me all this a couple weeks before the wedding. I told hub it wasn't happening. We needed our time and we WERE going to get it. Talk to your hub and ask him to run interference. That's what works best for us. Good luck!

i think i willl only get annoyed with my dogs cuz they already annoy me... nd my brothers friends are always comin over! but my mom says things will change pretty soon... i hope so cuz my brother dnt listen to me at all so i hope once the baby comes he will have more respect towards me nd not having his friends over nd him blasting his music in his room all the time...

dont worry about hurting any feelings its your baby so you have the right to control who is around. Just from experience the extra hands is always a help no matter what. Dealing with a newborn and especially this being your 1st is by no means easy so just accept all the help you can because eventually it will wear off and you will be wishing you still had that extra help. Im an army wife and my husband will be deploying after i have my baby so im welcoming any family or friends that can come since im 12hrs away from my family.

[stefanyy222]

I don't mind my mom or sister.
But my mother-in-law even said she got vacations to be with me and i like her and all but i can just imagine her at my house all day. which annoys me a little.

Actually all the people did not bother me at all mostly because having a newborn can be very stressful at times and sometimes you will need someone to be there so that you can catch a nap or get some quite time. If you feel overwhelmed just let them know, everyone should be understanding at this point so dont feel bad about asking for some online time
