“How Do I Politely Ask My In-Laws to Give Us Some Space?”

Three Calls End It All: “How Do I Politely Ask My In-Laws to Give Us Some Space?” XTU Nation, we need your help in settling a debate. Are you up…

My husband and I just had our first baby and my in-laws are driving me crazy. “Can we take you and the baby for lunch? Can we swing by for a quick visit on our way to dinner? They even ask to take the baby so I can rest.” Yeah, like I can rest when they have my baby!!! I told my husband to ask them to back off, but he just shrugs and says he thinks it’s nice they are so interested. But I just want to be with my baby and my husband. So, should I tell them to back off? Or just keep ignoring their requests?
