Wish me luck. I'm having the worst time convincing my husband that I really don't want visitors when I have Ava. Especially not the people he's been pushing me to be friends with.

Though, I should probably say trying to push. I'm pretty stubborn and am good at picking out my own friends.

He seems to think that I want these particular people to stop in and visit and keeps telling me it'll be okay but I'm just so uncomfortable around these women, it's not even funny.

For starters, the day I met them they decided to scream and cuss and pretty much try to start a fight with her husband right in front of me. I have no clue what it was about but holy crap. How inappropriate.

And then we went trick or treating with them and she does it again.

We'd gone over there for dinner and all she could do was gossip and laugh about how much she drinks and shoot nasty comments about her husband and wouldn't keep her hands off my stomach even after I told her to not do that.

On New Years Eve she thought it was so funny to give a baby a capful of some kind of alcoholic beverage and then was stumbling around drunk the rest of the evening, again cussing and being a gossip and being rude.

I invited her to my baby shower because I figured maybe there was something I was missing.

Nope. I pretty much have her pegged as a loudmouth alcoholic with boundary and respect issues. She showed up to my shower with her girlfriend who I didn't even know she had a girlfriend but whatever. I don't care. What I do care about is she showed up hung over and bragging about it and, again, gossiping.

It'd be so easy to just cut this woman out of my life if she wasn't the wife of my husbands friend. She also keeps getting baby stuff for us which would be awesome if 1) none of the above bothered me and 2) none of it stank to high heaven of cigarettes. I actually have to throw some of this stuff out because I can't get it apart to wash it and I don't want to febreeze it and let it dry because that doesn't work for me at all.It's already in my head that someone smoked around it and it's freaking me out.

I am one of those people who can make do with a couple close friends. My husband has a need to collect people, in a totally non-creepy bad hollywood horror film way. He likes having a billion friends.

Does anyone have any advice on how to handle my husbands idiocy? I mean it's really starting to upset me. For weeks I'd been pestering him for time with him one on one on a date. Yesterday, out of the blue he both excites me and pisses me off with one sentence.

"As soon as Ava is born, you and (and I get excited because I think he's going to say 'you and I') *women mentioned above* can go out for drinks!" This, after a long argument with him about me not wanting to go over to their house for dinner or even be around this woman because I can't stand her.

Do I have to smack him or something? Frying pan to the head? Couch him until the kids are in college? This is just getting so frustrating and I have no idea what to do about him or the women I mentioned.
