Is this normal?

Me and my MIL don’t get on but civil for the kids. I’ve always respectfully asked please don’t kiss the kids all over etc especially when they are tiny babies. That’s all my MIL does to both kids but even my baby who is still tiny. It proper upsets and tiggers me. She’s the only one that does it, even though I’ve said so many times please don’t. If I’m sat with my children either babies she comes and just swoops them. Now I’m sat crying and anxious about all, is this normal? Or am I over exaggerating it all.

Show your support

Your not over exaggerating! What does your partner say? I'd get them to have a word and if it continues it might be worth cutting contact until she can respect your boundaries!

Nothing that’s the worst part!! I just feel drained from it all. It’s constantly something that isn’t listened to or I’m ignored or left to feel like this x

I'm curious, why you don't like kissing?

Don’t actually have a real response other than I don’t haha! Especially when they are so little

This really annoyed me when my first was born. I specifically told everyone no kissing, it is so so easy to spread germs and cold sores etc and when they are so small it infuriates me when people don't respect your boundaries that are there to protect your baby! Id speak to your partner about this and see if they can have a word. My partners dad used to do it almost to wind me up in a sense, and we get on but it got on my wick so my partner told him if he didn't stop he wouldn't see him! I allow grandparents to kiss my 18 month old now but I'm due my second in 8 weeks time and I have the fear of this happening all over again. I'm hoping I'll have more of a voice this time and not be afraid to say 😂 xx

Yes!! I think it’s the ignoring you asking or the total disrespect and continuing to do it!!
