[quote=Anonymous]Breathe. You are overreacting.

There are a few levels of disagreement here. The first, and most important, is about visitors, so that's where to start. Forget about the room for a minute - pretend you have a fourth room - your husband is assuming that both sets of grandparents will be coming to visit when the baby is born, and they will both stay with you. So, start there. Do you want both sets to come right when the baby is born? Why or why not? Why does he want them to come? If you had an extra room, would you want to host both of them?

Start there, get on the same page about the guests. If it turns out you WOULD want them both to come and stay with you, but you want to room set up more, say that. Express why. Is there a compromise available? For example, could you get the room "set up" (painted, stocked, decorated) and just leave the full bed, so the only change that needs to be done is take out the bed and put in the crib? That might be a reasonable compromise, the other guest room furniture isn't strictly necessary.

You guys really need to communicate. [/quote]
