Just a short background - my MIL lives 16 wonderful hours away, and we see them once to twice a year. Last year when DS #1 was born they came against my will at 3 weeks post partum while I was recovering from an unplanned c-section. They came to 'help' and said they would stay in a hotel - well - oops! All the hotels are really expensive and DH said they could stay with us. His mom, step dad, and two teenage sisters stayed for a week, trashed my house, wanted entertained and fed - I pretty much had a nervous breakdown over it.
Jump forward to one year later - MIL is coming in July. At first it was just MIL, now it's MIL and one sister. They are staying in out house again. What really pisses me off is DS birthday is mid-July, they are coming the first of July and MIL has told my husband that she would like to 'do something special to celebrate babies birthday.' Since she won't be here for it. What does she expect? We sure as hell aren't going to give baby cake BEFORE his first birthday just because she wants to celebrate. I need to be prepare - what would you do? TIA.
