to add to my stress...

SIL and my niece (5 and supposedly a spoiled brat, they live in Dubai and I haven't seen them in 3 years) show up tomorrow until March 1st when the ILS also leave. 

OMG I don't think I am going to be able to handle this.  I am so worried about a 5 year old in my house with a 3 and 7 lb dogs and a 2 month old...oh Lord help me through this.

You my dear have the most patience of anyone I know! Good Luck!

I'm thinking positive for you. Maybe the 5 year old won't be a spoiled brat. Maybe she will be able to help you. Like go and get diapers for you or something. Ruby loves to help me with Violet all the time and she's only 3 1/2.

You poor woman.

I obviously have no baby advice, but remember it is your home, and you make the rules. If A is in bed, it needs to be quiet, 5 year old cannot pick up dogs, or be alone with them. Set rules early, and enforce them. Or...check into a spa for the next 3 weeks. ;D Sending you calm vibes and backbone re-enforcement (not that you need it, but just in case)

Holy moly! I will pray for you.

Wow.  I never would have been able to handle all of that.  You must have amazing patience!

Wait wait wait.  YOUR IL'S ARE STILL THERE????????????????????????????  I thought they were only staying a month?

Holy Mother of God!!!  How are you still sane? 

Your DH owes you.  Big time.

((HUGS))  You know I'm here if you need to get out or something--or if you need reinforcements at your house!!!    I hope P is supporting you in settling boundaries and guidelines with your niece.  Hopefully she can spend time in the basement with your ILs most of the time so she doesn't disturb Ariana.  Is she at least starting to feel a bit better and be a little less fussy?  ((HUGS))  Love ya babe!

holy moly dude!  You are seriously a saint for putting up with this....a very patient saint

I can't even imagine how you deal with all this.  Good luck to you and I'll be thinking of you.  Make a calendar that counts down the days till March 1st and cross them each off with a vengance as they pass.  You can do it!!

tbonegrl

You are a saint.

WOW!  I don't know how you do it.  I think I would lose my mind.  Hang in there.  Mar 1st is close!

Have your niece make a paper chain with the number of days left til they go home.  I'm passive aggressive like that, though
