Hi. I've just kinda freaked out a little. I'm 28 weeks and i hate both my FIL and MIL who are divorced. They make things difficult. I believe they will behave together but I'm getting the vibe that they want to be 'involved' while i'm in labor. My FIL is already asking what he needs to bring. Like I care! Like I plan to see him for more than 15 minutes! My hubby and I are on the same page that they can show up and say hi then out to the waiting room they go. Same with my parents. This is an experience for Q and I. After the baby is born, cleaned, and done being messed with they can come back and see her. But how do you arrange that?

I have to deal with my parents, his father and lover, his mother and husband, and a great grandmother, his. Is there protocol? And how do you say, ok, you can go now? I would like to be able to have some 'new family' time.

What are your plans? Past experiences?
