I'm not really complaining because I don't think it's a bad thing. I even suggested it because DH was desperate to see them and I didn't want DS being taken out of school to go there.
I'm just.... nervous.
It will be good having someone who can help take care of the boys when I'm in labour and to help out with them afterwards too so that I can rest. The part I'm worried about though is that things are always done their way or no way. I'm concerned that they will constantly want to hold the new baby when that bonding time means the world to me. They have a habit of vanishing on super long walks without saying anything and we've had arguments about it before. No new mum (even 3rd time around) wants their newborn vanishing for an hour or more.
Also I'm concerned that I will have to constantly be around them before and after the birth. I really value my privacy and alone time and at that stage of pregnancy/just after the birth I think I will go mad always having to cater for someone. I know I will be told they are here to help and I won't have to do anything but they say that every time and every time it's about running around after them.
When I suggested it I thought it would just be for a few days (they're coming for Christmas & I'm due boxing day) but DH has invited them for 10 days.
I feel like I'm being unfair....
