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?

Absolutely NOT! I wouldn't do it. That is not a good idea the baby doesn't need all of those people around that soon. She's a mom and should understand that. Besides you need time to heal and rest. I hope you are able to get out of it.

Trust me ladies I call myself trying to be nice, but I don't think I will keep repeating myself to her. She's one those snobby women that wants all to go her way, but I will be letting her know sooner then later

Girl flat out tell her look ive tried telling you i dont want the party and you wont listen so if you do have it, it will not take place at my house and if you have it somewhere else i will not be there or the baby. I need time to heal and bond with my child ALONE!
