I invited my Sis to be there for my baby's birth, (a month from now). Then Mom called & said she wants to be there too. I felt bad inviting Sis but not Mom, so I said okay. Then mom said she thought Grandma would really like to be there too, and I should invite her. I thought this was becoming out-of-control. I told her I didn't feel like having a party in the delivery room and all these people were going to get in the way, but somehow grandma got invited, too.
Well, hubby and I have been discussing the possibility of a drug-free birth and I'm starting to feel that, with all these dam people distracting us, I'm going to lose my focus, be completely unable to relax, and won't be able to do it. Plus, I'm worried that SOMEONE will forget who the mom and dad are, and try to run things ("Why don't you just get that epidural, dear?"). I can just see it.
Is there a polite way to go back on my promise? I still don't mind Sis being there...but Mom and Grandma are just too much!!
