Dreams about my parents staying

Argh! Like every other day I dream about when my parents come to stay with us when LO comes. (they are coming from out of town, staying with us for 2 weeks...and no I did not ask them to do this). I love them...but my limit with them nonstop is usually just a few days because they need to be entertained and sit like bumps on a log if not. I am obviously more nervous about this part of the process than actually having the baby...at least subconsciously. Any STM advice to get this put to rest so I can have less anxiety dreams about my parents...and more dreams about LO?

    My mil is a bump and was horrible after my first. All she wanted to do was hold the baby and complained I was nursing. This time I'm not letting her come till I'm ready to take are of both of my kids

    My parents came for our first for about two weeks as well.  My mom asked if I would like for them to come again this time and I told her no.  I felt like a jerk but she only wanted to come if it would be helpful and they weren't last time so I felt it was okay being honest.  My dad sat in the living room the entire time watching t.v. so at some point I just had to get comfortable whipping my boob out in front of him because I was tired of hiding to nurse in my own house.  My mom did laundry and cooked a couple meals but otherwise doesn't get around very well and every time I gave her the baby she would just put him down...kind of odd.  I would say just do what you have to do for you and LO.  Ask for help if you need it and try to avoid the urge to entertain because they chose to come visit and they should know better.  I let my parents borrow my car so they could go out and do some fun stuff on their own.  I think that's why my mom actually asked this time if I wanted her to visit because she knew they weren't much help.  I hope you have a good visit with them.
