So I just had my baby this past Monday the 21st. My moms birthday is Sunday and her and my dad invited us over for dinner and cake. My sister would be there too, with her 4 kids ranging in age from 5-12.

Here’s the issue:

I said we’d be there with the new baby. It’s only my parents house with my sister and her husband and kids with my parents. My husband is really just melting my heart with how much he’s eased right into the new daddy role but he’s also a little too paranoid with some things.

He is adamantly refusing to have the baby at my parents bc it’s flu season and he doesn’t want my sisters kids to get too close to the baby and possibly get him sick. They’re not sick right now and honestly, my sister always brought her kids around when they were newborns. I told him this and he can’t believe how selfish I am that I wanna show off our new baby so bad that id put him at risk of getting sick.

I get his point and I appreciate that he is being cautious but I feel like this is a bit much and my parents would be a little hurt and upset if we didn’t come celebrate my moms birthday with their new grandson. I kinda wanna approach my husband later and tell him that we’re going. This is ridiculous. It will only have to be for 2 hours and we can come home.
