But for the husband of theuser u/ProjectAppropriate50, the author of this story today, everything was not so clear-cut. As the guy chose to quarrel with his pregnant wife on the very eve of the birth simply because she didn’t want to have his mom in the delivery room… However, let’s take everything in order.

The mom-to-be was upset that the mother-in-law had been shaming and judging her for the whole pregnancy, so she didn’t feel comfortable in her presence

So the couple had a quarrel over this and the man has been giving his wife the cold shoulder since then
In fact, the story is quite simple. The original poster (OP) is a 22-year-old woman who will soon give birth to herfirst child. And recently the couple discussed which of their relatives will be in thehospital roomwhen she gives birth. The husband suggested that it would be her mom, sister and best friend, and, of course, his mother. And here our heroine had some objections…
The wife tried to explain that she would be only happy to see any one of his relatives before or after the childbirth, but in general, she’d “prefer not to be spread eagle in front of his family.” The woman’s arguments, however, didn’t affectthe husband– he got incredibly offended and has been giving her the cold shoulder since then.
And now, instead of calmly preparing for the upcoming birth, our heroine is worried that her partner will invite his mother against her wishes, or, even worse – that he may not show up at all. And she decided to share her worries with people online.

“And if the expectant mother claims that she’s uncomfortable with her mother-in-law’s presence, then so be it. After all, what will his mother’s presence in the hospital room change for the husband? Only that she’ll be happy and won’t bother him in the future? A weak argument compared to the health of his wife and child.”
“And, of course, childbirth is not a reality show to invite a whole team of viewers. Moreover, this woman made it clear that she would be happy to see both MIL and all other relatives on her husband’s side at any other time, before or after the birth. In general, if the husband acts in some way here that is different from his wife’s opinion, he will clearly be wrong,” Irina presumes.
In general, commenters are almost sure that the original poster is completely right in this situation. “Since when is L&D an event for multiple spectators?” someone aptly concluded, and it’s hard to disagree with that. So what do you, our dear readers, think about this story?
