Welcome home party for newborn
My mother-in-law wants to throw a small gathering after baby arrives. I really don't think that's going to happen. First I don't want a lot of people around my newborn (germs and etc). Second, I want to heal quietly at home for a couple weeks. Third, I just don't want people around my newborn lol. Would any of you be willing to have this party? Every time I give her a reason I don't want this party she just ignore. How should I tell her its not going to happen?
The concept seems fine but did I read it correctly, its for thr day you come home? Hell no!! My mil lives two hours away and has insisted on coming to stay at my house With my daughter even though she does better with my family who lives around the corner and thinks she is staying for a week or two after we get home which ***** because our nursery is the old guest room so her queen size air mattress stays in my 3 year old room and she ******* she wakes up early... I told hubby to deal with it and he stay hasn't... PS my section is Friday so he is out of time... Make sure one of you gets on it!!
That did sound nice Erica. I'm going to wait until baby is here to discuss it any further with her. Maybe if my hormones are in wack, healing goes fine, baby is okay. I might change my mind. Right now it's a hell nooo! Lbvvs
It is your choice. But I actually just went to a baby welcoming on Saturday it was small just family and close friends and it was nice. The baby was 3-4 weeks old. And not everyone was all over the baby like you'd think. Some people would just come up and be like Awwww and it was mostly aunts and grandma holding the baby not everyone there. But I wouldn't want one really I mean I might have a family BBQ when the baby is a few weeks old but that would be for our parents and brothers and sisters only. Not everyone we know.
That's a good idea!
Maybe have her come to a pediatrician or Dr Appt so she can hear it from a Dr?
I will definitely update you ladies on how this turns out. She has really just turned into the mother-in-law from hell.
