[quote=Anonymous]I agree that you are in the right here, OP, I really do. I think you have the right to ask for what you need, considering you will be the one doing the seriously hard work.

But the thing is...unless your husband is going to be convinced by a comment thread on DCUM that you print out and hand to him, getting support and agreement from us is not going to be helpful. It may make you feel righteous, but that doesn't go very far.  A lot of us agree with you on how things SHOULD be, but now we have to deal with what IS. I know that this all seems like the hugest thing in the world and if I were you I'd be burning up. But God willing, you and your husband have years more together, and will have more children, and this is just a blip. It really is.

I don't think you should HAVE to compromise, I agree with you, and yet, compromise is clearly what is called for. Please try to think of a way where both of you can get PART of what you want. If what he's reacting to is the idea that his parents will get less access than your parents, then maybe, just for a few days or a week or two, limit *everyone's* access equally. [/quote]
