It did not happen soon enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-sad-or-relieved-when-your-postpartum-guests-left#post-485472 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 10:12:02 +0000 Weagle 485472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both. I was SO sad when my parents left. I was super relieved when my ILs left. I enjoyed SIL and BIL's visit because I was feeling really good by then, but I was anxious for them to leave so DH and I could enjoy the rest of his paternity leave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-sad-or-relieved-when-your-postpartum-guests-left#post-485220 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 07:03:10 +0000 BelugaBean 485220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was kind of sad. My MIL was a big help and when she left, I was suddenly on my own because DH had gone back to work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-sad-or-relieved-when-your-postpartum-guests-left#post-485132 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 02:58:53 +0000 DillonLion 485132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both my mil and I were very sad when her initial visit came to an end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-sad-or-relieved-when-your-postpartum-guests-left#post-485117 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 02:15:43 +0000 Bao 485117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much happy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-sad-or-relieved-when-your-postpartum-guests-left#post-485066 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 00:45:30 +0000 pinkcupcake 485066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both...it was so nice having everyone around but it was also really nice getting my house back!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-sad-or-relieved-when-your-postpartum-guests-left#post-485014 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 23:53:59 +0000 lovehoneybee 485014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mixed bag, but overall I was relieved. It was only my mom, but she was here for 3 weeks, and our apartment isn't very big. I was sad she was leaving (she lives across the country), terrified about being home alone with DS while DH was at work, but really relieved to have our space back, and have time to bond with just the three of us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-sad-or-relieved-when-your-postpartum-guests-left#post-485012 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 23:49:43 +0000 78h2o 485012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was sad to have my parents leave, though I'm sure DH was relieved. They live across the country and it was really special to spend that time with them. Plus they were a big help.</p> <p>On the other hand, my MIL, as much as I love her, got on my nerves right away because she kept trying to force me to sleep. I know her intentions were good, but it was annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-sad-or-relieved-when-your-postpartum-guests-left#post-484994 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 23:35:45 +0000 wheres_c 484994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was so happy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-sad-or-relieved-when-your-postpartum-guests-left#post-484976 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 23:28:20 +0000 autumnlove 484976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was relieved because I just wanted to bond as a family of three! I was happy to have family help us out but it was a little overwhelming! :-) </p>
