Anyone else not exist?!

So my Inlaws live in another state, my MIL is coming up in Sunday for a week which will also involve my  baby shower on the 11th. She has now contacted my husband today and said she has booked for them to come over from May 23rd until July 4th (I'm due 8th June)

When I bring the baby home I just want the house to ourselves, I feel like everyone is making decisions for me and that I don't exist!! My husband doesn't seem to understand how I feel, I will be hormonal, sleep deprived and working out a routine with a new baby and feel like I'm being bombarded with visitors!

He says he will talk to her but I feel rude if I out my foot down and tell them to back off.... Advice!?

Initially they were going to stay in a caravan park but now he has said no no stay with us! When I talk to him about it he plays my parents (who live around the corner) off against his saying it's not fair that they will see the baby right after he is born and his parents won't... Tbh I just want to run away and have the baby on my own and not tell anyone!!

I have more issues on my parents side with both if them flat out refusing to get a whooping cough vaccine... No reason given as to why! Just a flat out no! How could you not protect your own grandchild!

Just want to run away!!

I'm doing the same thing with my in laws. They want to come in from out of state to see the baby when he is born. My husband and I agreed that we want atleast the first week home to ourselves so we can learn a routine and all. We told them they can visit after that week or if they want to visit right when he is born they can stay in a hotel since it'll be craziness around our home.
