[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother steps on DH's every nerve. It is very important to her to be in the delivery room when DS is born, and she wants to make travel arrangements to come from the West Coast. I'm due in February by planned c/s, so she wants to get plane tickets now. DH is not happy at all, and wants me to prevent her from coming until after the birth. To be fair to DH, my mother is... what's the polite word?... "high maintenance." She demands a lot of attention without regard for other people's needs. Of course, I still love her, and I have more practice at ignoring her antics than DH does. I do not feel strongly about having her in the delivery room, but I am in the middle of things, as both DH and my mother feel very strongly.  :?

IMHO, tell your mother to wait until after the delivery to come in accordance with your DH's wishes.  He should be your highest priority, not your mom.  You don't need to be in the middle of anything.  Just tell your mom how it is and don't put your DH in the awkward posi :roll: ion of having to tell your mom not to come.  Having a baby is a very happy but stressful time.  If your mom is upset, too bad, so sad.  She'll just have to deal with seeing you and baby a week later.  This isn't about your mom.[/quote]
