Husband tells parents they aren't allowed in the delivery room immediately after his wife gives birth, his mother reacts poorly: ‘I do want to protect my wife's peace’

The key to a long, successful marriage? Hearing your partner's concerns and ensuring their needs are met, especially in times of great need.

Childbirth, though it occurs every second, is what one commenter in this thread classifies as a "major medical event". They aren't wrong; The risks at the time of birth are great and can permanently affect the mother's or child's health for the rest of their lives. It's important to remember that in a birth scenario, the mother is the one in the hospital bed, and those sitting around her are simply there for moral support. Basically, she calls the shots.

That's why, when the mother-to-be in this story tells her husband that she'd prefer it if his parents stayed out of the delivery room after she gives birth and instead visit when she's out of the hospital, he listens. When the husband relays this information to his parents, he is immediately met with emotional turmoil and dissonance, and his mother makes it clear that she will not be happy unless she is allowed in the room with the newborn.

We can't always get what we want, now, can we? Scroll below to read the full story.
