Mother problems

So my whole family is here to 'help' with my LO. Now they have been here for a week so far and they are here for another week. Some of the time they have been a HUGE help like my sister and mom came over and cleaned my whole house. BUT the problems arise because they have rented a house that is 45+mins away from where hubs and I live. My mom is always wanting us to go hang out there. Now it's a beautiful house on the beach but it's really far away, I have to shlep all the baby stuff and we don't have a pack and play so if I need to put him down I have to just leave him in his car seat. I told my mom before she came that we probably wouldn't want to go hang out there much because all our baby stuff is at our house and we are just trying to get comfortable with baby. But she keeps making me feel like such an a**hole for not coming. I started school one week after LO was born and she keeps nagging me that I don't accept help enough to get school work done and she's just here to help. But it's starting to feel like she only wants to help if we come to her and the rest of the fam. I'm so tired of being made to feel like an a-hole. I'm already feeling emotional and overwhelmed as it is but now I have my family making me feel like a jerk. I'm just at my whits end. I'm thankful for the help but the guilt trips that come along with it are killing me :((.

    That's unfair on your mom's part. No real advice other than to try and express your concerns to her again. Unless she wants to buy the baby the extra items but even then the commute is a hassle.

    I'm not traveling, either! Wayou too much stuff to pack and it's easier to do MOTN feedings in my own home. I'm with you on this one.

    It's ridiculous to expect you and the baby to travel at this point. The whole purpose of maternity leave and people coming to help is for you guys to relax and get used to the baby, not to make it easier on everyone else
