[quote=Anonymous]What is "green grass?"

You probably don't see how dysfunctional your relationship with your mom is, or how it bleeds onto your husband and perhaps your baby.   But it likely does.  So I'd give a lot of weight to your husband's wishes.

And your sister probably doesn't understand what "normal" is, either.  I'm not picking on either one of you.   It's really difficult to get to a normal place with such a messed up childhood (been there, done that myself).

In your shoes,  I would not invite her.  But that could also cause a strained relationship between you and your sister.   It sounds like a no-win situation.  But if you want to have any chance at creating a healthy home and family life for your child, really listen to what your husband is saying about not wanting her in your house.    He probably sees this much more clearly than you do.

And for the long-haul, is there any way you and your sister, and any other siblings, could get some family counseling?

Good luck with whatever you decide.   I know it sucks.  It's the legacy of severe mental illness.  [/quote]
