[quote=Anonymous]I think those who criticize OP are being obtuse about the meaning of compromise.  It does not mean splitting two peoples wishes 50-50 down the middle (splitting the baby so to speak!)  It means assessing two (or more) persons needs and finding a solution that respects both their (sometimes disparate) needs AND their wishes.  It is patently obvious that someone who is recovering physically from some trauma in their home has needs that that to some extent trump other considerations in terms of guests.  Really this is a no-brainer on the basic human decency front and the pregnancy/labor thing is just incidental.  It would be equally ridiculous if DH was recovering from surgery or just plain ill, and DW was dictating a parental vistation schedule: "Honey, I realize you are vomiting from the flu around the clock, but we must absolutely host my parents for as long as they want - no debate allowed."  Ridiculous!  In fact the only way that pregnancy/labor is relevant here is that sexist assumption that it is so "natural" and easy and happy that of course a new mom should not only want guests but also want to play hostess as well....[/quote]
