This will probably be a bit long so I apologise in advance!
Me and my OH live in the same area as his family. It's about 30minutes drive away from my family. His siblings are over the whole time and it drives me nuts. However.. A mutual friend of me and OH's sister has informed me that she told them seeing as she has finished college now and is going to be job hunting, she's not going to start looking until the start of September so she can have a month at least with me and baby. We got a kitten last month and she came over constantly to play with it, whereas she barely visited before and it makes me so so mad. Apparently she's going to come over every day and take the baby out for walks and do this, this and this with it.. Eh excuse me, it's MY baby?! I feel so mad I could cry! Her Mum (who is obviously OH's mum) has booked two weeks off work so she can be around with the baby. She has also been saying she'll be over every day to make up bottles, take the baby out, help with feeds etc etc.. I know it's her grandchild and yes she'll be over a lot but is there ANYTHING I'm going to be able to do with my child????? My family won't be able to see her as much as they can, and I know that if they come to visit they'll still stay here. I feel like moving back in with my parents (they've said I can) for a week or two just to actually get some time to bond with my baby but this is my house and I shouldn't have to move out for anybody. OH feels the same and he says he'll tell them to back off if they are over constantly but I know he won't, he neeever says anything to his Mum which is ridiculous because he's nearly 21 and she still bosses him. Urgh, the way they have been talking about it is they'll be over through the day, take my baby out and do everything. I know I shouldn't complain about people being willing to help but seriously, this is a bit much is it not?? I'd never say anything to them as his Mum will be babysitting a couple of mornings a week when I go back to work and if I was to complain she'd take it badly and go in a huge huff. Yes she is like that. What would you do?? I was thinking to kinda drop hints here and there that I'm looking forward to alone time with OH and baby and that constant visitors would annoy me, but am I being unreasonable?
Thanks and well done if you've managed to read this far!
