So I posted this not only on my personal Facebook wall, but also messaged it to family members. Didn’t want to offended anybody.

“Justin and I are super excited for all of our family and friends to be able to meet our special little boy. We are so close to his grand arrival. With that being said we have some requests from those who will be around Alexander before he is able to receive his own vaccinations.

1. We would like all those in close contact with him to have their flu shot. Flu season is approaching.

2. We would like all those in close contact with him to be up to date on their tdap vaccine (tetanus shot) this will help protect our little man from whooping cough.

3. Please no announcing his arrival on any form of social media until Justin and I have had the opportunity to do so and we give the okay. (We understand everyone is excited, but we would like to have the opportunity to share him with the world first)

4. If you are feeling ill please don’t try to come visit at that time. You are more than welcome to visit him when you are feeling better.

I hope you all understand why Justin and I have requested these things. We just want to keep our little boy as healthy as possible. The world is scary enough as it is with Covid, we just don’t want to risk him getting sick! We love you all and can’t wait for y’all to meet him!!”

A couple hours after posting this my mother in law texts me and says flu vaccine is required by her job and she received tetanus vaccine 2 years ago. She then proceeds to ask me if my husband and I were up to date on our vaccines. Since I was at work I hadn’t had a chance to reply when my husband texts me with a message from his mom...

“You can call me later. Im just really upset and offended about what Maddie put on messenger to everyone. Another grandchild I won't see. I knew it would b this way. I help everyone and this is my pay back. Dont forget I do love you!!!!!”

I seriously don’t understand what the problem is! I messaged it to everybody I hadn’t told in person yet. And I posted it on Facebook for everybody to see. I never once said she couldn’t see her grandson... So of course my husband asks me to call her and explain everything to calm her down and she doesn’t answer my calls or any texts! Like I am so frustrated!! Sorry for the rant I just needed to get it out.
