I love a full house but I think I’m in the minority - we also have a 2 year old who goes to nursery so common lurgy is constantly in our house however I would expect someone to let me know they or their LO is ill before coming over!
I don’t mind the company but I am a little sick of my parents coming round specifically for the baby. Pre-baby, I’d probably see me parents maybe twice a year. Mum would only call me if she wanted something. Now I’ve seen them probably 5 times in the last month. I wouldn’t mind, but last time they came round, they were late and I was keeping the baby up for them until I couldn’t do it anymore and she fell asleep. I successfully put her down in her crib (which is unheard of for a day nap) and then they turned up and mum immediately wanted to pick her up 🙄 I have to be okay with it because they are part of the childcare for next year
Try having your in-laws next door and popping over at stupid times without a heads up... They're supposedly in the bubble but that bubble I want to burst cause they have no common sense... I become grouchy as well when they just come and sit for hours and want me to keep talking to them as if I'm not exhausted dealing with a 4week old... my mum is staying over too but the first 2 weeks, my in-laws were also bringing people over with them 🙄 I'm an introvert big time... I don't need people I barely know to congratulate me thanks... yesterday I asked my mother in-law to keep an eye on him for a few hours when I took my mum out and today she hasn't turned up yet 😅 in your case, you have all the right to close that bubble they gotta respect your boundaries ~ good luck! ☺️
Absolutely the same! I’ve always been a little dubious about others (other than family) holding my girl until she’s had their jabs but that’s just me 🙃
