Am I wrong? / advice on the situation
So im due just about any day now. My boyfriend and I live an hour n a half away from any family. We decided to make arrangements for our dogs a couple weeks ago. My parents (or just my mom) are going to drive down when we call them that we are heading to the hospital. Our dogs will be fine for that time, they can be alone for at least a couple hours. Anyway, my boyfriends mom keeps insisting that she send her other son (he’s 15) to come watch the dogs. I don’t feel comfortable with this for 1, bc his family has not been quarantining, 2 his brother is just shady they’re caught him smoking inside their own home multiple times, 3 he doesn’t have a car or money so how would he get here and/or take care of himself while we’re at the hospital? I mean we have groceries but he only eats fast food, 4 his family has not once ever came to see us and I think this is their way of being able to come see the baby when we get home. I told them they needed to quarantine and my boyfriend told them they needed to get tested before coming. Well here we are and they have been going out like every weekend and they’re sending their kids to daycare n school when they don’t have to, the kids can school from home. I also don’t want him here bc we agreed only our parents would come and his parents made arrangements for their kids to be watched bc they have 5 kids and several of them are younger and misbehaved. My boyfriend keeps letting them think his brother is coming to watch the dogs but I told him he needs to tell them so there is no confusion on the day of. His mom is petty and will take it personally so I’d rather get it out of the way now than when I’m in labor. He doesn’t understand that. He also doesn’t want his parents to get jealous that my parents will be here and they wont. I honestly could care less bc they are not taking care of themselves and that’s not my fault. It’s not like it’s a surprise the baby will be here any day now, my parents were able to quarantine just fine so yeah I feel more comfortable with them here. I would be more than okay to have his parents here as well but I’m not risking my baby getting sick only to spare someone’s feelings. They can do whatever they want but I don’t think it’s fair for them to assume they have a automatic right to see the baby when they aren’t taking precautions. They can go out everyday that’s fine, but I’m making these decisions for my baby’s well being
