If she can’t follow your rules then she should leave. You shouldn’t have to repeat yourself more than once. It’s very disrespectful I have been in that situation before and it’s so aggravating having to constantly repeat yourself to an ADULT

@Olyvia right! i feel bad cause she flew here to help but how hard is it to not kiss someone else’s kid 🥴

We're getting the same push back from my partner's family and baby isn't even here yet! I will never understand the need to kiss other people's baby- not once have I ever had that urge 🙄 We've just been firm with boundaries and will continue to enforce them- if they can't follow our rules, especially the ones that are meant to protect the baby's health then they lose the privilege of seeing the baby.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. It must be so frustrating!! Especially someone who’s supposed to be helping. We’re setting it up so people have to wear masks around the baby so it would have to be very deliberate to try and kiss her (which we’ve told them not to do).

@TeAna definitely a good idea!

I would tell her to leave tbh. It took over a month to convince my mom that she won’t be able to kiss the baby and she gave me such a hard time about it. She even got the RSV vaccine but I still don’t want her to and she finally agrees. We get induced tonight and she has been here the past week so I’m hoping she sticks to my boundary and doesn’t kiss her but if she does I’ll send her on the first flight home without a second thought. Try sending her some articles and research from universities on how dangerous it can be.

Stand your ground because you are his parent & if she dont wanna respect your wishes then she either is on timeout or can leave. Dassit
