I sympathize, but you are being a little dramatic. This is as much your husband's baby as yours, and the baby is as much your in-laws' grandchild as your own parents'. That said, you have a right to have your own mother stay at your house, if you want--absolutely, especially after you have been through the physical rigors of childbirth. But I think you need to dial down the emotion and reach a reasonable solution that pleases both yourself and your husband. Don't alienate or punish your in-laws because they "moved out of the area"--that's petty. Perhaps a compromise would be your mother and mother in-law staying with you, and your father-in-law staying with your father at your parents' house? Your husband obviously wants his parents there, and you need to understand and respect that. You will have many stresses and battles in the future about parenting, grandparents' boundaries, etc etc; don't set a tone of unreasonableness now.

Wow! A reasoned reply and sensible advice. OP, listen to this PP because it is some of the best advice ever given on DCUM.

Actually, this is some of the worst advice ever given on DCUM.

Sorry, OP, but your husband is acting like a child. There is no fair when it's your body that's going though the trauma of birth and recovery. You get to choose who visits when, where, and how. If your husband won't send his parents to a hotel, I think you should book yourself into one. With cable, really lovely room service, daily housekeeping, and only one functional key card.

(OK, I'm kidding about the key card. I hope that if you really did decamp to a hotel, your husband would come to his senses and join you and you all could bond together as a new family.)[/quote]
