I think that my MIL decided when my DD was born, almost 21 months ago, that she was going to be the biggest pain in my butt possible.  When DD was born, my DHs family piled in.  His mother, father, brother, and sister were there for 7 hours (yes, that's 7 consecutive hours), and his 2 aunts and his grandmother showed up before they did, staying a respectable 45 minutes or so.  Well, long story made short, these are large people (no offense meant towards anybody), but they all sat on furniture.  Guess where I sat, episiotomy and all?  THE FLOOR!  The hard, carpet covered concrete floor.  I was in so much pain.  I didn't talk or move until his mother asked for a drink, and then they had the nerve to talk about me making dinner.  Thank god for my mother.  She showed up and booted everyone out.  I just didn't know what to do at that point.  I had never really had any problems with these people until I had my DD, their first granddaughter.  Other than her trying to control my DH like he still lives at home, even though he lives with his pregnant wife an hour away, I hadn't had any major problem up until then.

When I found out that I was pregnant with my son (DD was only 5 1/2 months old), I told my DH that I would not have people crowding in my house as soon as I came home from the hospital, especially his mother.  Since I had a DD who would only be a little over a year old when he was born, I didn't want any extra stress on her, or me.  I repeated this over and over and over, till I was blue in the face, during my whole pregnancy, and guess what happened?  DH told her this several times, and guess what happened?  She showed up, not even 2 hours after we got home that day.  She didn't even have the decency to call first.  The only reason that we found out that she was coming was because my DH called her house to tell them that we were all home safely, and his dad said, "Isn't your mom there yet?"  I was sooooo mad and hurt, all at the same time.  How could she not respect my wishes?  I had only wanted them to wait a few days before piling into my house.  Not only did she show up, she brought her mother and his 2 aunts.  Talk about ignorant.

The day after DS was born, I was still in the hospital.  MIL and FIL just decided to stop in (they live an hour away from the hospital) - no call, no knocking on the door, nothing.  They just walked right in my room.  I was changing my clothes right then.  I thought it was a nurse (they had seen me in worse poses than the one I was in), and just kept getting dressed.  I turned around to see which nurse it was, and here was my MIL and FIL standing behind me (I at least had underwear on by then).  I would have started screaming, but I was in too much pain from my episiotomy.  It was very bad.  The worst part was that they sat down and just sat there.  They completely ignored me.  They didn't talk to me or anything, and the bad thing was that my DH was not even there yet.  This was not even 12 hours after DS's birth.  DH had gone home to take a shower, to get our DD from my mom's, and to get a little sleep.  He walked in about a half an hour after they got there.  Every time I tried to say something, I got cut off by someone asking my DH something that didn't even matter, or something that he didn't know the answer to and had to ask me anyway.  To make things even worse, my MIL looked me right in the eyes, and said, "I would've called before we came down, but I thought you would have said no."  Doesn't that tell her anything?  Geez, she only says stuff like this when my DH isn't around.  If she had called and asked if I cared if they came down, I would've probably said to wait later in the day, because I hadn't even seen my DD in 2 days.  She was only a year old and hadn't been without me for that long before, and I wanted to visit with her before anyone else.  Thanks to this lovely imposition, the time that I spent with my DD that day was holding her while she cried, because she doesn't really like my DH's family that much.  They are loud and pushy, especially when it comes to kids.  They kept trying to take her from me and she didn't want them.  She wanted her mama (after all, she hadn't seen me in awhile).
