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.
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.

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