SHOOT ME!
My mom & sisters are coming the week of Christmas (week of my due date) to visit. J's family is coming in January & February.
My moms adoptive dad got wind of the trips and invited himself. He bought a plane ticket without mentioning it to anyone. He is a vet and we all believe he has undiagnosed Aspberger's or something of the like. Even though I love him being around him is taxing especially for an extended period of time. As if the transition from re-deployment to parents wasn't going to be stressful enough.
Re: SHOOT ME!
Lodging on base that is right down the road, but at least it isn't at our house.
J's mom on the other hand is refusing to stay at a hotel. "We can make room for her, she doesn't take up much." <-- Not gonna happen.
Not that I have any experience or bitterness in this type of situation
Exactly. And she doesn't get it. She also doesn't want to rent a car and wants us to drive her around. We drive a Mustang that will be damn near filled with a child and said child's things anywhere that we go.
**hugs** I hope it's not too horrible. When our families came out after baby S's birth it wasn't as horrible I as expected. They all were actually really helpful and accommidating. There was lots of advice thrown around, of course, but C and I just smiled and nodded. Some of it was actually really helpful and appreciated.
I ditto the PP's about everyone staying in a hotel. Not just for your sake, but for the baby's as well. We allowed both grandmas to stay at our house (not at the same time, thank God) and it really messed with baby S's schedule, even at a young age. Setting a precedent early on that the baby's well being will be priority, regardless of the inconvenience to extended family is really important, IMO.
Oh, goodness! Good luck Lace!
