are we wrong for this?
we are having our first baby this month 😊 and we are super duper excited!
My partner and I are extremely cautious about everything because this virus is going around, we have set down some rules but my partners family is taking them as us offending them and being rude.
Yes we know that even if you don’t have the virus, I mean you never really know until you get tested or show symptoms but we still want everyone to follow these rules.
1. Wash your hands, Sanitize your hands and then you can hold the baby.
I’m not wanting to pass the baby around to everyone, just my partners family and not for too long because I kinda want her to myself for the first few days or weeks I’ve waited for her for so long ha.
2. Do not kiss the baby!
I don’t want anyone expect me and my partner, being near the babies face and kissing her.
I don’t want them to kiss her hands either since she will put them in her mouth and so on and so on. A newborns immune system isn’t super strong right away, so I don’t want anyone kissing her or touching her face.
My partners mom, she got mad when I told her this, we were just sitting down and talking and she said that “no I’m allowed to kiss her” or else she will make it a big deal and so will my partners dad and “offend and be rude” to the whole family.
3. I’m not wanting everyone to come over.
After I am discharged from the hospital, I want me and my little family to go back to our own home and be alone for a while. So me and my partner can spend time with our baby we waited for 9 months.
Also, the virus going around we don’t want to have anyone in and out of our home.
we don’t think are being too much are we?
His mom and I don’t get along at times, she fights and argues with me and says that I always have an attitude when I really don’t. I respect her still.
I know this is her first grandchild but it’s not her baby, it’s my baby. It’s her grandchild..
She also thinks that she is higher than my parents.
She wants us to tell her the name, even though no one will know until she is here. She got offended at that too.
My parents are going to be first time grandparents too, and they aren’t even acting like this.
