[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My "high maintenance" (aka boundary-challenged) mom insisted on being at the hospital when my DD was born, and even though she wasn't in the room for the c-section after labor failed to progress, she was really overwhelming and as I was just fresh from delivering a baby, my DH bore the brunt of it. Two years later, he still regrets acquiesing to her being there, and he's right--[b]she intruded in our first moments bonding as a family.[/b] DH and DD are super close now, but I regret not doing everything in my power to facilitate their initial bonding as father and daughter. This is obviously important to your DH, too. Now that we're about to do it a second time around, I've put my foot down. My mother will not be at the hospital until we're ready for her to come.[/quote] I was just about to post this. If I were DH, I think I would also be annoyed with YOU for not taking his side and you not telling your mom to back off. It might be different if your mom was respectful and was actually helpful, but since you admit she is high maintance that really makes it irritating for DH.[/quote]
