I can’t believe random people are getting pissed when I tell them “no” you cannot visit the baby. You aren’t family or close friends, you aren’t up to date on your shots, your kids are constantly snotting , you don’t associate with us regularly AND I am
recovering from abdominal surgery! WTF?! NO MEANS NO!
@allisongarrett51, yes! It’s like I don’t want to have to clean house, make coffee/tea and small talk- I want to wear my pjs, let my body heal and spend as much time with my husband and my newborn as I can before I have to return to work... I mean my family knows it’s an open door- but they also bring me food, will do my dishes and will change over my laundry and hold the baby so I can eat or shower... these people was a social outing - No thank you!
Omg tell them no and good for you. I got bombarded with my first born and it’s my number one regret. I felt like a zoo animal and I still believe 100% it’s why breastfeeding failed for me. Like go away I’m in my most
Vulnerable state!!!
@autumnarrival17, that's weird. People get excited over babies sometimes, but that would annoy me so much lol
@littleonemorning, oh family and friends have been excellent- we live in a condo complex and it’s been neighbors who we barely interact with beyond walking our dog and waving who have been ridiculous - luckily we are moving in January lol
@autumnarrival17, I think only immediate family and people you actually like can visit. I had more people visit me at the hospital than afterwards when I came home. That might have been because they just respected my space, but anyone who wanted to visit always knew to text me and thankfully very few got offended.
Those who did, I just don't talk to them anymore 👌🏻
@littleonemorning, it is ridiculous. One got passive aggressive on fb with me so I blocked him from my posts - like figure it out - you don’t rank 😑
@autumnarrival17, yes yes yes. I try to tell my friends someday when they have a baby they will understand.
