I really hope this works out for you. It's not right for MIL to expect you to serve/entertain her when you're working and have school until late every night. Are their flights already all booked? Maybe somehow this situation will work itself out.
As for my situation, my parents booked their flights for Thanksgiving, but there is a silver lining. DH has to be away for work the week after Thanksgiving so my mom is going to stay that week (my dad will go home the Sunday after Thanksgiving). Their flights weren't cheap and I know their intentions are good (my mom wants to help us with Thanksgiving too) so we're going to try to figure out a way that they will be comfortable staying here with us. Now I just pray that this baby won't be late!! If he/she arrives close to the due date (11/4) I'll be very happy.
I will be hoping for both of us that our situations work themselves out. Fortunately, I don't think any tickets have been bought, but I know MIL MUST come to take care of retirement business.
I hope your baby comes when expected and that your family is as helpful as possible and not demanding.
I think I may feel worse for you because you don't have anywhere else for your parents to stay.

Thanks! I'm not so worried about them being demanding. It's my father being a PIA. He really gets on my last nerve. Just an example: we visited them in FL in July and he asked me if I had an exercise program and told me that I should have one, told me that my voice was too squeaky, and that I talk with my teeth clenched because he can't understand me (granted sometimes I talk fast or mumble, but he can't understand many people - one night we were watching tv and he kept complaining over and over how he couldn't understand what the character was saying but we all had no problem).  He also likes to hear himself talk and lectures everyone on everything. I know I shouldn't let it get to me, but it's gonna be tough with a newborn. I think I'll spend lots of time in my bedroom (aka retreat) nursing!
Good luck with your situation! Try not to let it stress you out too much.
