I love this, feeling a little tempted to send out an email or two including the link.

Love it!

I wish I could figure out a way to anonymously send this to my mother and MIL.

I sent it to my mom with a comment asking if I should send to my MIL. Maybe I should have DH do the same thing. Then they would both read it.

So glad this is how my mom already is. I have no doubt she will do all 10 of these things on the list without me even telling her. We are best friends though so we have discussed already the way I would like her to behave when she comes to help for a few weeks after baby comes. My MIL on the other hand I really don't know what to expect. I really don't want her to come because I think it will be awkward, but I will be nice I suppose and let her stay for a few days.

I would loved to have found this 5 years ago when I had my son. After I had him my MIL acted like he was hers and everything I did was wrong arrrg...... Would to have just loovveeedddd to send this to her!!!!!ETA: Why do MIL's tend to act this way?!! I wanted to be like, listen women, I just pushed this baby out of MY vagina, NOT YOURS!!

My mother will do none of this. I would love to send this too her but she gets all butt hurt if you blink wrong.

I don't think that either my mother or MIL are planning on staying with us (neither have said anything) but I do worry about them both (or groan my SIL) dropping by without notice since we all live fairly close to each other (same town or one town away). My mother I would have no problem just telling her to either "Help out or get out" but my MIL gets offended SO easily so I'm not looking forward to dealing with her once LO is born.

hilarious, and so true.

I wish someone would send this to my mom because there's no way she'd take this well coming from me. She already gets pissed off at me because I don't absorb and blindly accept every unsolicited piece of advice she lobs my way or rejoice over every piece of criticism I never asked her opinion on in the first place.
