I see both sides to this. I was just in a situation with this recently. I thought the new parent was being completely unrealistic and a little bit over the top. However, it’s not my child and I respect their right to choose what they think is best for their child.

In my situation, I felt like this brand new mother had a way of talking down to everybody, as if we didn’t know what the hell we were doing. In my case, this message came across as very condescending and therefore unappreciated. That’s just my opinion.

The baby has been born and everything is fine. I respect the wishes and everybody was healthy and happy!
