Hello ladies,
Hope you're all well and looking forward to Christmas.
Just after some advise ....
So of course when bubs is born I want my mum, dad and brother here, I've always wnated my mum in the room when I give birth since before I even got pregnant. Well my mum, dad and brother really want to be here but it's not a definate yet as they are still waiting on their visa. They need to know their visa has been granted so they can send their dog and mine. (argh this is so hard to explain over the net, so sorry if it doesn't make sense) For mum, dad & my brother to come the dogs need to be on their way here as we'd never put them into a kennel or leave them with anyone else. So my family don't want to pay 3,000pound sending their dog all the way here to not get their visa (I see no reason why they won't get it but I suppose you never know) So my family may not know about their visa for another 4-8 weeks maybe longer so ofcourse if it's later than the middle of Feb they won't be able to make it. I'll be absolutly gutted !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So here's my problem, I don't know if I've mentioned before but my mother-in-law is very highly opinionated (sp) and irrates me and tends to upset me alot. She's been nicer since I found out I were pregnant. Well of course if my family can't make it my hubby wants his mum and dad to come. I do want to have family here when Isla's born, but I know she'll stick her UNWANTED nose in ... do this, do that, you're doing that wrong, do it like this. She was a nurse 27 years ago !
So hubbys said they'll need notice, prob by the new year. But I kow my family won't kow by then and I don't want to say yes you can come then my family be like well we could have come ... So I don't know whether to mention it to his parents now or wait until I get an answer off my mum and dad ?????
I'm 27 weeks and his mum only bought Isla her first thing last week !!!!! It took them so long, didn't even buy her a teddy, just 3 items of clothes. It's the first grandchild on both sides. Now I know it's not about money and presents but my parents, even my brother have bought so much for baby !
I dunno, I just want to share this special time with my family, I want my family to have first cuddles and see her beautiful face. I know I probably sound selfish but my family have done everything for us and supported us 110% through everything. Plus like I said I've always wanted my mum in the room , well if his parents come his mum will NOT be welcome in the room when I give birth!!! One it'll upset my mum beyond beleif and two it's my lady bits, I don't care about my mum seeing them but not my mil. I said this to hubby a few weeks ago and he was like well why can't my mum come in if you're mum was going to ! I was like hello !!!!
So I guess this is a HUGE vent and opinions needed ... thank you ladies. I hope you can understand it .
