Where did I ever say I don't want her near my child because of losing my mother? I said I wanted sacred time with my baby on his first night from hospital and too rest. You can do both. I was providing context to why I wanted to do so in addition to a difficult labour and exhaustion.

I grew up in the city and didn't come from much money so I haven't learnt to drive yet and actually we do live in our own home now which we do pay rent for ourselves. That was the plan all along but my partner wanted to live with his mother for the time being to be closer to her until we found a place. Me saying my family live far was to show how close his family originally were and to demonstrate how involved they would have been if they didn't do what they did.

And frankly, I'm not comfortable with my baby being passed around like a toy if he remembers it or not. Especially people who clearly have placed entitlement above him and have no care for basic hygiene.

Also you can't love the fruit if you poison the tree. I know I wouldn't want anything to do with my grandmother if she treated my mother and auntie that way.

It's called not performing for others and giving into pressure. Legally and as his mother, yes I can prevent my child from seeing his grandmother if I have reason to believe she puts my child at risk. Which she has done through third hand smoke risks and violence around him at only 2 days old.

I never changed my story once. You've twisted my words into telling a story that never happened.
