This was something one expecting mom found herself grappling with after a disagreement with her husband about some nursery wall art that his mother had given him as a belated birthday present. His wife did not want to use the art as she felt it wasn't their style and that her mother-in-law was being overbearing, but he felt guilty about casting it aside—especially as his mom had offered to use it in the nursery in her house if they didn't like it. The mom-to-be wanted confirmation that she wasn't being unreasonable.
