in laws holding my baby
so my baby is 8 months old...i have a good relationship with my husbands family but i just dont like it when they hold my baby...as soon as we get somewhere they want to hold her...it might be because they see her maybe once or twice a month, but it bothers me that not only do they hold her but they grab her hands (which she puts in her mouth all the time) and give her kisses on the neck and cheeks...even though ive posted many times on social media not to do it...my husband knows that im overprotective and sometimes he gets her from me only to pass her around, which drives me nuts...but he knows it bothers me...he says he does it because he wants her to bond with her aunts and uncles 😡 i straight out told him why it bothered me and he said we would have problems bc his family is close knit like that...i understand they love my baby and i want them to have a relationship with her...but i dont like to be away from her (even though shes a few feet away) and what annoys me the most are the kisses...on the other hand...my family is different too...they might hold her but return her to me after a few minutes without me having to say anything...ive had my share of disagreements with some of my husbands brothers and sisters in the pst and dont want to ruin our relationship, but this truly drives me crazy and i dont have a poker face so its very clear when im upset....ive kept my mouth quiet many times but when it comes to my baby i feel like i should speak out but dont want to come off as rude...suggestions???
Edit: I DO NOT feel this way about my mother or father in law...i feel like this with my brothers and sisters in law...i do love that they love her but it makes me very uncomfortable how long they have her for and dont return her to me and that they end up kissing her...AND they like to drink so they have alcoholic breath and are breathing right on her face....when my husband has a beer or two i get after him for that...if we adults dont like alcoholic breath, why would a child? i appreciate everyone’s feedback...you have made me see that yes i might be overprotective but hopefully you understand better where im coming from with this additional explanation
