MIL showing too much affection with baby
Show your support
@Cindy I’ll try that. I also mentioned to my husband that maybe he could Pay attention more when his mom is here instead of being on his phone.
i have a very similar issue. drives me up a wall. she’s a nurse, i would think i wouldn’t need to have that conversation with her of all people. then one day she called herself mommy to my daughter and it all made sense😂
This is her first grandchild so I get you want to show love with kisses. I told her not to befor and she stopped. Then she didn’t see him for a month and it’s like she forgot.🤦🏻♀️ My husband is now going to reset the boundaries on next visit.
@Sophia 😳😱 wth?!? 🤦🏻♀️
That’s good to hear! I know sometimes people just forget so hopefully reminding her helps stop it.
Some ppl ask ppl to only kiss their babies feet - could that work as a suggestion?
Maybe talk with your husband so you’re on the same page and present it as a pediatrician recommendation that only mom and dad kiss baby because of his immune system needing time to develop? Like my husband and I agreed only kisses from us but my FIL was doing it and I said something and he made some excuse which was annoying but he doesn’t live in the state so I kind of let it slide that day. Nana (MIL) was here for when he was born and she had lots of pre-warning so she’s been great about it. My parents don’t really kiss because of my culture so it wasn’t even an issue for them luckily. It’s very frustrating when people don’t respect boundaries!
