Dreading Christmas

Anyone else not looking forward to Christmas bc of relative visits? My parents are coming over but I discussed it with my dad and they are only coming over briefly. I know my mom is upset but I have to do what is best for us otherwise I might blow up at her. When she has come over before all she does is flash her damn camera in the baby's eyes. She doesn't really seem interested in spending quality time with her granddaughter...just taking these horrible pics. Also I had some medical issues due to the labor and delivery that I wouldn't share wih her and I think she is hurt by that but I don't feel like discussing it. I have felt like we are getting more support from our neighbors than them. So now I dread their visit bc my mom will try to make it about her and how I am hurting her feelings by not having them over the entire day but I have to do what is best for me, DH and the LO. Anyone else?

This is what kills holidays...expectations...sounds like she has no clue she's upsetting you and that you need your space, despite it being a major family holiday. You've got to do your own thing for a bit, it's ok.

There is no shame in taking baby to a quiet place to feed her and have some mommy alone time.

Yep. My parents live across the country and I rarely see them, so I was really looking forward to them being here, especially since it almost didn't work out for them to come at all. Well it's been a week already and they're driving DH and I crazy! And my mom is staying until New Years, while my dad is planning on staying a week after that. My mom takes forever to do one little thing no matter what kind of time crunch we might be in, and my dad is constantly making the most obnoxious, offensive jokes ever. And thats just the appetizer of why I'm ready for them to leave. I love them, I promise, but the honeymoon is over.
