While I have some great in-laws, I really don't want them staying at my house too much when the babies are born. I want to tell my DH "They've got their own grandkid, I want MY mommy!" (As a side note, they are coming from out-of-state so they inevitably will be staying at my house.)
My MIL retires at the end of the year and I fear she's going to want to STAY stay with us for a while... At least with my parents, they live like a 1/2 hour away and would never think or ask to stay over. I'm not fond of long-term house guests (except my future offspring ) I don't mind visits at all, but when you stay overnight more than a couple days and REALLY make yourself at home, I get angsty/ansty.
I know, awful! But it's flame-free!

A woman who used to be my friend, still Facebook friends, just moved to Florida this summer. She is originally from Florida, but lived up here in Wisconsin for about 10 years. She complained non-stop about how cold Wisconsin is, how horrible it is, how lame the people are, how is is just the worst. I met her through my mom and hung out with her a few times and really enjoyed it and then friended her on Facebook and decided we couldn't be friends because her posts annoyed the crap out of me. How about instead of complaining every time the temperature is below 30 degrees, which is many months of the year, you just move away from here and shut up. So, she moved to Florida just like she always wanted and then a hurricane comes and she has been posting just about every hour for the last few days how nervous she is about the hurricane and how hard the whole thing is. Seriously, hourly updates last night. So, I finally had to freaking block her. I mean, you didn't want snow, so you decided to live somewhere where hurricanes hit. Shut up and stop complaining.
ps. I posted something about how Wisconsin doesn't get hurricanes. And she replied with some passive aggressive comment about how Florida is still better. I mean, your hourly freak out posts don't seem to express that very well.

@mrsstuessy some people just need something to bitch about all the time. Can't stand those people! But also another reason why I will (most likely) never move out of sunny California. I would turn into your bitchy friend if I had to deal with snow.
There was a conversation on here a few weeks ago about Neti pots and sinus rinse bottles for congestion and how you had to be careful of bacteria. Well, I totally broke down earlier this week and have been using my sinus rinse bottle for almost a week. It is the only thing that clears my sinuses out. In fact, I may or may not have told my DH that "sinus rinsing is better than sex" last night....
I have my husband get up with the 9 month old all night "so she stops night nursing and will eventually sleep longer" most nights. She's still up 4-7 times a night, but he works alllll day, so not only do I get to stay in bed, but it forces him to at least spend some time with her.
@super_sam03 I totally understand! My parents live 5 hours away and the IL's are 7 hours away. MIL has already said she "might just tell the school she won't be back to finish the year"....sorry, but no. I already told DH that a week is my max for any visitors. I don't think we will have a problem, both of our parents understand boundaries. But it's best to set out expectations before
@super_sam03 I completely understand! The first time my MIL came out to help with my oldest it was a complete disaster. She came out to vacation--not help out while I was struggling with a newborn. This time, she wants to come down and help out over her spring break (she's a teacher) and I keep telling my DH no. If she's going to come "vacation" at our house again, she can come later in the summer when we have a better handle on things.
@mrsstuessy I have a friend live here in Socal and complain the whole time. Her family was all in Minnesota but she and her husband were out here for his job. She complained the whole time. Finally moved back to Minnesota and continually posts how great it is there v here. I unfollowed her for a good 8 months.

I didn't shower or wash my hair this morning. I NEVER leave the house without doing that. But it just didn't feel like a shower day so...
