After the baby is born, is it wrong not to want any help at home?

Nothing wrong with this feeling. Its your baby and your house. Set your rules, but dont shut them out all together. They may come in handy when you and your husband need a nap or a night out. BELIEVE ME if this is your first you are going to want one eventually. Just let them visit, and tell them nicely but firmly you have it under control and you will call if you need anything like baby sitting or meals. Then just dont call :) My mom is the same and she was demanding to be in the room when my daughter was born, I finally had to yell at her to get out, that me and my husband had it under control. I told her to check on my dad and had the nurse shut the door and put the do not disturb sign on. She wanted to stay with me for a week since they lived 2 hours away, I told her no nicely, and that we will be down in a week to visit and she can have all the time she wants with the baby. I feel terribly horrible now since she ped away when my daughter turn 8 months, she died of Cancer complications though she was in remission. It was unexpected and I feel she wanted to just get to know her last granddaughter better, though people tell me it was the proper thing to do.
