He doesn't, though. They ask them not to come, they tell them they don't plan on providing updates, if they come anyway, big deal. If they don't like

not getting updates, they can leave.

- Even if that is the reason, it doesn't matter. It's not the MIL's call. (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 09:31 2

    - Why? Almost *any* reason is valid, therefore calling it selfish is an unneccessary judgement on the mom. (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 09:34
- I wouldn't be too sure. my friend's mom (the one who tells her she ruins christmas every year) makes that kind of demand all the time. -- nm - kraken Nov 19, 09:29 2
  - This kind of stuff is page 1 out of my mom's playbook. -- nm - Diva Nov 19, 09:32 1
    - mine too. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:32
- I take it you do not know anyone like the MIL in this story? - kelly Nov 19, 09:26 6

    - also, this woman is *not* acting like family. she is not treating this woman like her daughter, so why must she be afforded mom respect? -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 09:32
    - I... would say kelly might be in as close to this exact situation as anyone on this board. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 09:30 1

    - I've been waiting for the right time. :) - kelly Nov 19, 09:30
- see, if it is my wife and she says she doesn't want people there, people better not freakin' show up or face my wraith -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 09:25 7

    - Selfish is demand to be there. The physical act of birth is stressful enough, if mom doesn't want anything else that would stress her, regardless of - musubi Nov 19, 09:32 1

  - but first you'd have to summon him from the ethereal plane. I imagine that takes some time. -- nm - kraken Nov 19, 09:27 1
    - Shaun beat you by minutes...you suck -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 09:28
  - You're a necromancer? Summon your wraith now! -- nm - Shaun Nov 19, 09:26
  - Reagan is laughing at you right now, for intervening. Your wife should defend herself, obviously. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 09:26
- I think you have little experience with crazy overbearing mothers. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:25 2
  - i agree with this. it doesn't sound exaggerated to me at all. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 09:25 1
    - completely not exaggerated. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:26
you think that MIL would just let it go? -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:24 5
- I'm just saying he doesn't have to. Having them in the waiting room is not an inconvenience to him, because he's not obligated to give updates. -- nm - mara Nov 19, 09:26 1
  - see TFox's post about his stepmother. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:27
- my stepmother lied to nurses once to go back and see SheFox in the hospital once, before I even got there. People are fucking insane. - TFox Nov 19, 09:25 2

    - I would posit that it is very very difficult for a woman to be selfish about pushing a new human out of her vagina, except in extreme circumstances. - TFox Nov 19, 09:27
