 (Nick Galifianakis for The Post) | Carolyn Hax is away. The following first appeared Sept. 23, 2007. Dear Carolyn: My mother-in-law is insisting she should be in the delivery room when my son is born. I don't want extra people in the room, anyone other than my husband and my own mother. (I will be trying to do this drug-free.) My husband feels as if he is between a rock and a hard place, since his mother and I are both adamant. But I think I get to choose, since I will be the one in labor. I already told my mother-in-law I am uncomfortable with her presence during delivery, and she apparently spent a week crying about it, much to the dismay of my husband and father-in-law, who are pressuring me to change my mind, because they are used to giving her her way when she does the drama thing. But I feel it is important to set some boundaries and not be manipulated. Do you think I am being unfair? — Va. |
