My grandmom is really trying to argue with me because I said I don't want anyone kissing my baby when she is born. She's saying I'm selfish and should be appreciative anyone takes their time out to even come to the hospital and I don't know what I'm talking about babies have a strong immune system she's never heard of a baby getting sick from kisses... 🤦♀️ i can't even fathom this nonsense right now.
My fiancé is really weird about even us kissing our boys on the lips...but every now and again I will catch him sneaking one.
Girl me and my SO went through the same crap with my SO’s mom.. she would have fits yelling how my sons doctors are bullshit n crap and have no idea what there doing. (Not true) she on 2 occasions kissed my sons face being really sick and told me afterwards I wanted to lose my shit, first time my son was 2 weeks old 🤬
Then on top of that we told and asked her multiple times to at least get the TDap shot and she flipped out making up reasons she couldn’t which whre completely BS!! We told her what it was multiple times n yet kept making up what it was then tried telling my SO the last time she didn’t know it was for that 🤦♀️ stupid honesty.
We shared a home at the time and she would start screaming at my SO if we didn’t raise our son how she wanted to get the F out.. 🤦♀️ she also told my SO to stop giving a shit abt his son n focus on other things.. she’s beyond nuts, I can’t deal with that
When my son was born My mom kissed my son anyway and my mother in law had a tantrum like a child because I asked her to wash her hands. This is just making me want to not tell anyone when she gets here until I'm home so I don't even have to worry about visitors. How hard is it to just respect what I want for my child ?
@aileenquinter123, yup I certainly agree 💯 percent! I don’t let anyone watch my son now bc not one person could follow anything I asked of them and the thing that blew the whistle on her is when I caught her lighting a cig right in his face when he was in his swing.. respect ur grandchild at the mf least seriously 🤯🤬🤦♀️ we don’t speak to her now, I hope she pulls her head out her butt and stops causing unnecessary issues for u..
Grandparents are from a whole other world lol mine (who’s now 96) told me 9 years ago when I was pregnant with my oldest that if I didn’t drink buttermilk daily while pregnant he’d have no brain...
The one thing I remind myself of is this knowledge wasn’t always available to our elders when they were having kids...I mean a lot has changed since my Granny had kids in the early 50s 🙊 Often I just smile and nod at her advice.
Yeah I try to be respectful that she comes from a different time but when you flat out tell me you are going to come and kiss my baby any way and I just have to deal with it I feel some kind of way about it. I love you and all but my baby my choice please just keep your lips away from her.
@aileenquinter123, Yeah mine would never do that she’s pretty innocent lol she just says weird things. Mine only ever held my eldest by the time the other two were born she was too frail and just liked to look at them lol She didn’t trust herself to hold them because her hands were bad so there wasn’t any kissing issues lol
Well being as she is a grandmother she should know that a babies immune system is not fully developed until about a year of age. So I understand where ur coming from completely I'm like that as well for the first month or so. Very hesitant on who holds and get to touch my babies
I just said ok i guess I'll be selfish with a healthy baby 🤷♀️ just because you chose to let people kiss and hold your babies however you saw fit doesn't make me wrong for thinking other wise. She said I just worry to much. Isn't that my job as a mother? 🤔
Kissing a baby can be real dangerous. My bfs mom and step mom didn't listen to me. They still kissed MY baby. That could send a baby to the ER fighting to breathe
