I Don't Want Them There

[00:00:00]How do we tell our families that our ideal birth plan is to not have them visit the hospital after the birth of our twins? Oh, awesome. Um, I think the first most important thing is stop calling it your ideal birth plan and just say this is our plan. And I think you can take off all of the therapeutic words and all of the legalese words and all of the internety words and just say, "Hey, here's what we're doing." If you put in the word ideal for somebody who would be willing to invite another friend who is a sister of a brother that person is going to see that as a crack in the doorway to do whatever they want. And then what you have to be prepared for and you and your husband have to be committed arm in arm on this is we are not going to be responsible for other people's response to what we want.
