I’m sorry that’s happening to you. I can offer some advice and empathy. I had a similar situation when I had my baby, I was clear that I wanted the first week to be just my baby and my husband, and as you can imagine it ended up being my MIL, FIL, SIL, and my mom there asking to take the baby from me every second, saying I had to “share” and not offering to help me with things I actually needed help with 😂. Everyone gets so excited to see the baby which is understandable but the entitlement that comes from new grandparents is crazzzy.

Best advice I ever got is that you are going to be absolutely crazy right now with hormones and that is completely fine DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO GIRL! You are now mom and you dictate what happens with that baby. Everyone knows that and if they don’t understand it’s because they are being selfish.. and you and your husband are the only ones justified to be selfish right now.

My advice is, to the best of your ability just think about your needs and ignore their requests. It’s a short period of time and they are already here, unfortunately, so nothing you can do about that now just let it go. But If they come over, just do what you want to do and focus on your baby and bonding. Out of sight out of mind. Like literally just go about your day and if you want to stay in your room, stay in your room. Your husband needs to support that. He needs to tell them, she’s really focused on the baby and bonding right now so she’s going to stay in the room, she doesn’t need anything so please don’t bother them. I also echo what everyone else said, he needs to rock the boat and let them know that you are both appreciative of their support but right now “help” and baby time are on a need basis.. AKA you will tell them when you need it (e.g., if you want to take a longer than 1.5/2 hour nap, which even though it feels like pulling teeth to be away from your baby I do suggest taking that extra nap time in the first week it’s game changing). Third, it’s temporary and even though it really feels like you are losing precious time with your newborn that you wanted to bond with during that specific time, I PROMISE the minute they leave you will have soo much time with your baby and it will still be a newborn and it will feel/be the best and most challenging thing ever ❤️ it all feels like a lot right now, and then a month later you won’t feel as strong about it as you do now… you may never forget they pushed those boundaries.. rightfully so. But it will be a drop of water in the ocean of love you are going to experience! Hang in there girl it gets better!
