My baby is almost 3 weeks old. He spent 9 days in the NICU due to being born early because preeclampsia. We have been really cautious about taking him around people because we do not want him getting sick. Im appalled by the way his dads family is acting and its making my mama bear come out full force.

When he was 2 days out of the NICU they planned a birthday party for my 2 yr old and invited the whole family even tho they were told we weren't ready yet. We declined. We agreed to the following weekend but ive made my wishes clear that I dont want him passed around like a party favor. I had two rules, 1) wash hands. 2) no kissing him. I was told every 10 min by two of the aunts that they just wanted to kiss him and they were "fighting the urge" I mean come on you can wait till hes a little older to kiss on him 😒 and then it was like they would get offended when they tried to hold him and I reminded them to wash their hands.

I just dont understand why people want to kiss other peoples kids and act like its a big chore to wash your hands.

Not to mention hes breastfed so once they held him so long he was getting hungry and searching for a boobie instead of giving him back they thought it was the cutest thing he was sucking on their neck searching for a nipple. It completely grossed me out 🤢

WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!?!

Family or not they should respect parents wishes.
