Way to deal with mother??

Question

I delivered triplets last night via c-section. My mother came from Nebraska to help with my 4 and 2 year old. The only problem is when I go home in 3 days, she is going to want to do everything for me. I enjoy doing things for my family myself. I know it will be helpful for the first few days, but she's staying for 3 weeks! How can I deal with her for 3 weeks?

Answer 1

First thing when you get home, tell her that after a few days, you want to be able to do things yourself. Tell her that you enjoy taking care of your kids. And you want to be prepared for when the babies come home. Tell her she can help, but you can do somethings yourself. If your scar from the c-section still hurts, have her vacuum or mop for you.

Good luck with the babies!
