Just need to throw this rant out here.

I am so damn sick of my family throughout this pregnancy. And I just know it’s going to get far worse when my daughter is here. I love them dearly but I wish they would just leave me the hell alone.

My sister told me the other day that she will be coming to my apartment when I’m giving birth “to clean and make sure everything is set up”. The gesture is nice, sure, but everyone knows how finnicky I am about my space and my home. I don’t want her here while I’m not here. I never asked her for this. She just TOLD me that she will be entering my home without my permission. Just like my mom TOLD me that she will be doing all the baby’s laundry, like I or my husband are incapable of doing it ourselves.

There’s a lot more backstory here, and I know the above makes me sound like an entitled brat because “they’re just trying to help” but with my family, they’re not. They only ever do shit like this if it benefits them in some way. The only reason my mom would do the laundry was so it forces me to bring the baby over (even newly post partum) which is an hour drive that I don’t want to add to my weekly routine. I don’t care if anyone COMES to see the baby but I have no intention of taking her anywhere for the first couple weeks at least. They’ve been nothing but backhanded and overbearing since finding out, and no matter how often I talk to them about it they always make it my fault. My husband agrees with me that he doesn’t want them here when we aren’t home.

Rant over. I apologize for how this makes me look I’m just so frustrated.
