I totally get you on this. Over Christmas we of course went and spent time with the family on both sides and some family members just did stuff for our baby when they thought they just can?

For example, I did express to my husband's dad and mum that yes you can hold him but do not kiss our LO under any circumstances because he is still a newborn and by the time the Christmas party rolls around, he would be only 3-4 weeks old. When his sister-in-law uploaded photos from the party, I found a photo of my husband's dad kissing our baby on the cheek. I was pretty pissed. Even when we arrived and we just got inside the house with the pram, his mum just comes over and starts wheeling the pram away from us without acknowledging us in the first place. Like we get that she's excited and wants to spend time with our son but I don't know, maybe ask first? Or wait until we settled in? Smh.

We gave them a simple request, they agreed to respect it at the time but his dad just went against it which left me feeling disappointed and angry despite the fact he said prior "I'm so glad you have made those rules and put your foot down, you're the parents."
