[quote=Anonymous]You're being perfectly reasonable, OP, but most men don't seem to get the whole privacy while recovering need that us moms have. But you do need to approach him calmly and rationally with your arguments, even though it's hard.

I might have missed this, but how far away are the ILs? My husband and I went through the same battle about 2 months ago (3rd grandkid for my local parents; 1st grandkid for my ILs, who live about a 3.5 hrs' drive away). After a disastrous first round, we've finally compromised thus: when baby is born, ILs can visit last day at hospital and then first day at home. And thankfully they're talking about staying in a hotel. Then they leave for a few weeks and DH and I get baby to ourselves, with my mother's help if I think we need it. Then the ILs can come down for another few days to visit--at which point we'll decide if we're up to hosting or they need to stay in a hotel.

It took a while, but I finally made my husband realize that I would be in no condition for company for many of the reasons other posters stated. And eventually I realized that DH was just anxious that his parents get to see the baby early on and not have to wait. Fortunately the distance is smal enough to make 2 trips possible.[/quote]
