I find it the height of crashing stupid insensitivity to whinge about not wanting to be alone to someone who lives on their own the entire time with the recent addition of a baby
Say to her, look I appreciate you don't want to be alone but, erm, I do. As you know I have a young child, and I rarely get a moment to switch off and chill out and have a bit of a siesta or catch up on some sleep. And this is my 'me time' and I really do need some time alone by myself.
Tell her it's just bad timing, and you're sorry if it comes across as unhelpful, but if it helps you can call a friend or relative to come and sit with her, but you have a few domestic chores to do and also need to just veg out and have a nap while you can.
I, as you probs know, have hermitic tendencies.
Friendly, just overwhelmed by people mostly.
I panic when on the odd few times someone has indicated no signs of shoving off.
