September Sweetie asked: I’m having my 3rd child in late Nov by c-section. I have had a c-section before and I know how long it takes to recooperate from such a surgery. We live far away from family and friends….so, if anyone visits us…they usually stay with us and not a hotel/motel. My question is this….how do you tell people, especially pushy in-laws, not to visit until I feel better. I have already tried to tell my in-laws that I really do not want visitors until I’m feeling better. I had a horrible case with the “baby blues” with my second child and I really just want to concentrate on caring for me and my baby….not entertaining visitors. Plus, my in-laws do not help us out. They are old and everytime they visit us they expect us to wait on them hand and foot. So what should I do and say to them without hurting their feelings? Please only serious answers!!!
Even after my request of not having visitors….my in-laws are still planning on seeing us when the baby is born!!!
