I would ask if they want you to come and see what they say. My mom and dad came when I had my first baby. They were more trouble than help. They were not supportive of breast feeding and they were critical of everything I did with the new baby. My first, and as a youngest, I didn't have a lot of experience. I was in tears nearly every day. So . . . all of that to say that if you go to help out? Help, don't hinder. Best to keep one's opinions to onesself and help with the baby, the housework, and the cooking so mom and dad can get some sleep. BTW, when I had my next baby, I asked them not to come. It was so much easier on all of us.
