Our second daughter is due on 17 Dec (c-sec ). I will be in hospital until 20 Dec. My inlaws live out of town. They want to come visit from 23 to 29 Dec. The plan was they would stay in a guest house, but my MIL now says she doesn't feel comfortable waking up in a guest house on Christmas Day. If they can't stay with us then they aren't going to come visit. This puts me in a very difficult position. I really don't want house guests a week after I have had surgery and I have a new baby. I feel really bad for my hubby because he obviously wants them to come see the baby. I feel like my MIL has no respect for me or what my little family is about to experience. If it wasn't for Christmas, and they weren't going overseas on the 29th I would ask them to come a week or two later. Am I over reacting here?
