I'm really trying to be patient and understanding, but I'm just to the point where I'm seriously annoyed. I've been on maternity leave for 8 weeks, and I can't even count how many times my in-laws (particularly MIL) have been over. Now I understand they want to see their grandbaby, but it's been really inconvienent for me a lot of times, and they don't really take that into account. The first few weeks, MIL was at my house literally every other day. It wouldn't be as bad if my husband didn't work 2nd and isn't home everytime she's here, leaving me to feel like I'm entertaining. Since then, it's been several times a week. She usually gives me an hour or two notice, but it still usually results in me having to move around my own plans and schedule to be sure I'm home. The one time I suggested a different time bc I had my own stuff to do, she seemed a little cold to me.

Not to mention, whenever she comes over it's strictly to hold the baby no matter what. Like, if she's napping soundly in her crib (which isn't always to get her to do) she'll get her and hold her. And they often come over at times that are inconsiderate in my opinion. My husband has been working 12 hour shifts, 5-6 days a week, so we want our alone time as a family on the day(s) he's off. They came over on our anniversay (our first anniversary) which was strange. And they babysat her for a few hours the day before so it's not like they hadn't seen her in awhile. And now, I'm going back to work monday and all I wanted to do this weekend was spend my last 2 days relaxing at home, me and my baby girl. But, they just asked my husband if they could come over this evening (after he leaves for work). So, so much for that plan. They will be sharing babysitting duties with my mom when I go back to work, so they will be getting plenty of time with her this week. I just want to make the most of the time I have left, and I feel like I've let them put a damper on my time home with my LO.

It is what it is I guess. But I just needed to blow off some steam about it!
