Seems like Mil will want alot of time w baby

How do you guys cope with MIL who seems to want to see baby all the time? Im currently in my last trimester, and my MIL is already asking us to have meals more often. We usually have dinner once every weekend (appx 4 hours), and now, she's been asking us whether want to have lunch/dinner on other days. The last week, she asked whether want to have lunch or dinner on 3 consecutive days! We only had dinner 1 day as we had doc appointment and were very tired. I honestly don't mind visiting more often or longer hours when baby comes but not too much as we will be so tired and we want baby to have a routine. Also, we treasure our privacy at home too. How do you guys manage such a situation?

Best is to speak to your husband about your MIL. Personally, I’m in a similar situation and my in laws have been coming for dinner almost every other day. Some pros: 1. They bring dinner 2. When baby is out, they will be able to help and you will be able to get some much needed rest. If you do want to keep things to your way and own routine, best way is let hubby speak to his mum on your requirements. I never speak to my MIL with things I’m unhappy about. Usually let hubby handle it.

Thanks for the advice. I can't imagine if they come so frequently. Do they leave v late? Yah I usually also let my hubby handle, else I'm afraid will strain the relationship. Understand the pros as well but I'm afraid of setting unrealistic expectations. Like they may expect to come every day and it becomes new norm
