Bad timing people

So months back, dh's sister decided to come visit their parents (us too, but they are staying with them). They are due to arrive on the 12th and are making all these plans and such. I said, I hope the baby is here by then. Looks like my instincts of being overdue was right. Anyway, last baby, dh and I tried to do way too much and see way too many people and all that and we vowed this time we were putting us first and taking it easy. Well dh and his sister were super close growing up, but now live far apart and we are lucky to see each other once a year, SO we HAVE to make an exception and I know he'll want to try to spend as much time with them as possible and I feel so annoyed by that. I wanted our new family of 5 to spend the first week nice and quite at home alone instead of at my inlwaws house. I suppose dh could visit with our boys while I stayed home with the baby, but I just don't like that. I also don't like the idea of my 5 plus the 4 of them, but dh's parents all at my house either, looking at my mess and unmapped floors while trying to figure out what's for dinner, so that is out. I'm private and hate people all up in my space especially at a time like this. Grrrr . Just had to vent.

That's frustrating considering the timing. Maybe they'll be helpful? Let go the anxiety of the messy house and just have them over if you can. That way you can leave to nap or get some alone time and you have the reinforcements to help with the rest of your gang. I'm sure they'll be understanding that you just had a baby. If not, suggest dinner more often at their house and sit some of them out.
