ARRRGHHHH!!!!!
In need of a quick rant and I hope u lovelies dont mind me doing it on here!
JUST had my mother on the phone, trying to get me to agree to her and dad coming over to stay untill I have the baby! NOW, before anyone reads that and thinks, well that is quite nice! MY PARENTS ARE PAINS IN THE ASS!!!!! lol. As much as I love them they are really hard work, and when riley was born they came to stay and had me cooking cleaning up after, food shopping for, and washing clothes for them when I should have been recovering from a 3rd degree tear! They just sit untill you do things for them, they wouldnt be here to help, they say that they see coming to visit us like their holiday!
We have also said that we dont want any visitors coming over to stay with us after baby is born, and that we will get the ferry over to england for a few days so that they can all meet the baby once he or she is born. and I think My parents have seen their arse a bit over this!
BUT I have good reason, in the time I have been pregnant Hubby has hardly been here at all, he has been away in Army training and in England on courses and this summer leave and paternity leave will be the only REAL family time we have had in ages! PLUS, when baby is about a 3-4 weeks old, he is being sent away to Kenya for 8 weeks, SO I know how precious this time together will be for us all!
Anyways, while I was on the phone to my mum, I could hear my dad in the background trying to whisper (rather unsuccessfully) that mum should suggest they come here to stay for a couple of weeks!!! I just said that we didnt need any help now that I had a sitter sorted for riley, and that we wanted to be together as a family for once!
Am I being a selfish hormonal cow?? Or should they understand how I am feeling and try to wait a few days after baby is here to see him or her?? I know its their grandchild but I cant even begin to explain how stressed I am at having such little time with Mat in the coming months! He will be deploting to Afghanistan within a year too, and for most of the next year before he goes will be away from home in training for that!
Just feel like I am being made to feel that I HAVE TO accept their offer to come and stay when I really dont want to! someone slap me if I am being hormonal and unreasonable! but at the minute the thought of having to entertain my parents for anything up to the next 2-3 weeks makes me wanna go hide under a rock!
