She kinda forced this visit on us and is here to spend time with DD. She is kinda high maintenance too. Ugh.... she wants to visit every month too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-up-earlier-when-you-have-guests#post-1145538 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 13:01:36 +0000 babynumber1 1145538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normally I would say it is rude not to get up, but in your case SLEEP! Your MIL will understand! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-up-earlier-when-you-have-guests#post-1145411 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 12:04:36 +0000 boots 1145411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would sleep!!

SLEEP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-up-earlier-when-you-have-guests#post-1144917 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 09:08:39 +0000 ElbieKay 1144917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-up-earlier-when-you-have-guests#post-1144859 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 08:50:01 +0000 Modern Daisy 1144859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is only 7 weeks as well and I think at this age all bets are off. It's really important for you to get sleep, which is probably part of why she's visiting right? So I'm sure she'll understand if you sleep in. When my MIL stayed with us a couple of weeks ago we actually slept in shifts - if she stayed up with DS for night wakings then I would get up at 6 while she slept until like 9 or 10. Then later on in the day she would keep him occupied while I took a nap. But regardless I think it's perfectly acceptable and understandable for a parent of a newborn to sleep until 10 if that's the only way he/she is able to feel rested! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-up-earlier-when-you-have-guests#post-1144850 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 08:47:22 +0000 Mae 1144850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're 7 weeks in. SLEEP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-up-earlier-when-you-have-guests#post-1144838 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 08:43:55 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 1144838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL is visiting from OOS to visit DD and is sleePing in DH's office. DD is just 7 weeks and had a rough night of wakeups and I usually don't get up until She does around 10 to make up for lost sleep. But with MIL here I feel like I should. I know I wont be able to nap later. Never can.</p> <p>Would you just get up and tough it out or keep sleeping? </p>
