Loved the first response from Julie. When the husband gets naked in front of her parents and takes a dump and spreads his legs for 12 hours, then his parents can come in.

Agreed! I think I'd be toddling off to get a divorce as soon as I could.

I would love to hear the husband's reasoning for wanting his parents in the room. Birthing a child is stressful enough without having additional spectators that sound like they wouldn't respect her privacy (picturing both in-laws staring at the child crowning, etc.). I hope she gets her way!

It's likely the parents want to be there at what is an exciting time, and are putting pressure on the husband and probably using the false equivalence of 'Well her mom is invited, we should have the same rights as her mother' or similar. False equivalence because if the mum-to-be has invited one or both of her parents it would be for her support and the husband's parents obviously are not suitable for support.

Right? My mom was with me and my husband when I started having contractions and she said "you two go to the hospital and just call us when the baby is born and you guys are ready to see us". Sometimes I hear about people having their brothers and sisters and everyone there, I really don't understand why...

Plus the delivery team (if this is a hospital birth) would not want the room that crowded. There might be student RN's and interns during the birth plus your OB, anesthesist and other staffs. If there is an emergency how the heck could they move? Unless of course this is a home birth. In the first place when they conceived the child are the parents there to coach him?

I agree one hundred percent, I would like to hear what the husband has to say, however, I do hope the mother to be stands her ground, for that important day and the years to follow !!!

Maybe when it's his time to labor, he can invite his parents.

Or he could have invited them too when they conceived the child since he is not into privacy.
