EDIT: My leave is 1 month, in which I intend to do the housework, which I now do roughly 50/50 with my wife.
EDIT 2: Please read the whole post, I am not saying that her parents should not come over at all.
Hi y’all,
my wife is expecting our baby in the next couple of weeks, and decided that her parents would stay at our rather small home for the next \~3 months.
They are nice people, but I am not too inclined to stay with them that long. Longest they stayed before was a couple of weeks and it started annoying me after the first 10 days or so.
I asked her rather bluntly to compromise to half that time, however she won’t entertain this because she carries baby and says she needs their parent’s help soon.
A couple of weeks later she told me, that her parent’s flight tickets are bought already and cried because I argued with her about it, which was interpreted as not willing to sacrifice enough for her.
I am aware that this is a difficult time for her. However, I feel like I am a bit cornered by her and her parents and certain I will be pretty annoyed at my in-laws despite their help with baby.
Any help for dealing with this, ideally from someone with a similar experience, is welcome.
