[quote=Anonymous]I wonder if your husband, not understanding how difficult the first weeks post birth are, is worried that this is setting a precedent. Maybe he is thinking he doesn't really know you either...he is hearing: I don't want your family around the baby, only my family, and maybe is feeling a little worried that he isn't going to have much say, that this is your baby and you are going to make the decisions. he may be reacting from feeling that you are trying to push him and his family away.

Maybe if you reinforce that this is just for the period after birth. That in the future your in-laws will be more than welcome in your home and will be given an equal role as your parents in terms of being grandparents. Also that you do intend to see him as a parent who also gets say about his child, his house etc... He may be seeing you say you need your mom as also pushing him away as you are expecting she will be the one to help with the baby rather than him.

I think you need a non argumentative conversation with him about the role he and his parents will play in the child's life beyond the first two weeks. [/quote]
