good on your babybino for standing up for yourself. dh and I have committed to not having any visitors until we are good and ready, we may not even tell them bubs has been born for a few days just to make sure they don't arrive at the hospital or rock up at home uninvited. We are having 2 months just for the 3 of us. my parents live interstate and will be arriving in the area 2 weeks after bubs due date. They are not staying with us and will probably only come over a few times and even then only for an hour or 2 at a time but we don't feel bad telling them we are going to bed or bubs needs a feed or simply go away we'll see you tomorrow etc dh's parents are seperated but they both live within an hour of us and will want to come around often I'd say but again they can come over once a week for an hour or so or whenever we want but we will only be making plans with people (including my parents) on the day just in case we don't feel like seeing anyone. This might all sound extreme and we have considered that family may feel like we are not allowing them into our lives or to share the joy of the new baby but we consider our baby bonding time to be more important than any of 'their' needs. They had their children and had them their way, we get to do it our way, I couldn't think of anything worse than having visitors for 6 weeks following the birth.
