[quote=Anonymous]The better question is, does DH feel that the inlaws are too demanding? If he does, then you need to help him and encourage him to set clear boundaries with his family. If he does not, then you just have to accept him the way he is, but realize that things will only get more stressful for all of you if you add children to the mix. Make sure he realizes that if you (two) choose to have children, that he'll need to reconsider how he balances his life. He will likely need to either set boundaries with his family to limit his commitment to them, or he'll have to cut back on his commitment to his job. You'll need to have an explicit discussion with him to let him know how much support you'll need from him as a father and he'll have to find a way to provide that support. These choices need to be made by him, but you have to open the discussion and be very frank with him or he'll try to dodge the question/issue.[/quote]
