Having a hard time setting boundaries in the moment.

Thank you, I think with people commenting back to me I’m getting the bigger picture I have missed things clearly I never picked up that the MIL wasn’t there until husband was older so that would change my view of this. I understand it all when it comes to new born babies I guess it’s been 11 years for me it’s still maybe an old opinion I have about meeting baby at same time for me!

I understand with needing your own space etc I was sectioned in hospital with PPD later after my son was born and always needed all family around not just to support me but support my child and make sure he had all he needs but my thinking is rely on both family not just one but now I understand why the MIL she is cautious of her being around (like I said it was my opinion but might be outdated having everyone at once(

Thank you so much for explaining in a way that helped me understand! Appreciate it ❤️ x
