Love your niece/nephew from your side of the street. You aren’t required to like their mom. But you may want to be nice so that you have a chance to be a part of the child’s life. If you see a problem once the baby is born, start the conversation from a place of love, not of a place of judgement. Good luck!

Nothing! Not your business! Mind yourself and let him handle himself! He’s grown and can be in charge! Otherwise you create the problems! Just be the cool aunt and buy the baby stuff and provide love and respect! Otherwise zip it! :shushing_face:

End of day she’s pregnant why you making something that is meant to be a nice time for them both into family drama you are already putting her down before she’s even started how about keep quiet and be nice and try and be there for them both instead of acting up ant fair on them both 100% ant fair on the baby she has every right to have whatever boundaries in place set for her and her kid respect them.

You should be happy for them not acting childish as she ant doing what you want her to do.

Stay out of it ! Unless she is abusing,neglecting or flay our a toxic mother then take steps .bur until then BUTT OUT!

I think if your brother has an issue with all of the rules she’s putting into place then he should grow a pair and speak his mind. That’s between HIM and HER. Sounds like you need to mind your business and remember you’re just the child’s aunt and you aren’t entitled to anything :woman_shrugging:

Lots of parents have lots of rules regarding what extended family can do in regards to their child, and that’s okay, it is their child. No visitors for at least 2 weeks after birth? That’s the rule and that’s that. Have to wash your hands and sanitize them as well? That’s that. No kissing the baby? Oh well. Parents get to make rules for their child and as long as the child is healthy, and safe that’s all that matters. You raised your children how you saw fit and I’m POSITIVE not every single person around you was on board with every single decision, I doubt anybody tried to do anything to keep your kids safe from you.

The baby isn’t even born yet and you’re asking how to “protect” baby from the woman carrying it? Its women like you who race in to snatch kids away from perfectly loving parents and just cause emotional harm to it instead. For what??? Because you dont like her being with your brother??? Seems like she made a good call already if she’s planning to limit your contact with baby.b

It’s none of your business
Stf out of it
She has every right to make what ever rules she wants when it comes to HER BABY

Here in Australia 90% of new mom’s
Won’t allow visitors to come to see her baby for at least a month after bubs is born
And insist you have your whooping cough vacine, no viral infections
Only touch their bubs if your hands are washed and sanitised, are only allowed to come at certain times

So basically back the fuck up
And let her be
You come across as a toxic aunty
And bubs isn’t here yet

I’m sure your not a perfect mother either
You have no right to interfere

Personally if I was her
I wouldn’t let you near the baby

You’re obnoxious and I wouldn’t want you around my kid either. She shouldn’t be getting tattoos while pregnant. But you can’t police her either.

You just need to calm down and mind your own business. Your brother either needs to decide if he wants to be in this relationship and be a dad or not you don’t mention if they are even married. She hasn’t had the baby yet and may change her tune when she get knee deep in diapers.

Unfortunately nothing. Do not try to step in unless you see abuse or neglect for the baby once it’s born. It’s his job to step up and demand his rights be equal not yours.

It is HER child not yours, so as much as that sucks you just have to try and respect her wishes and let her raise her child as she sees fit. If she is neglectful or abusive etc to the baby after bub arrives then you should talk to your brother and then the authorities about it but until then Its technically her body, her baby and theres nothing you can do.

There is possibly more to this that has happened causing strained relationships, not enough background given. I do not agree to the tattoo while pregnant, however, your brother should be speaking with her about that. It could be right to be concerned for the baby, so I would think it smart to start documenting things like the tattoo while pregnant and any future concerns that occur just to have it at hand if things worsen. Other than doing that as a safeguard, things are between her and your brother as it is their child, it is not for someone else to interfere. It will just makes things worse and strain relationships and rules even more. Unless in future the child is in harms way, then you have the documentation.

Well, it’s in her belly, you can’t do jack Doo Doo…
You could offer to pay for a parenting class, maybe get her a few books, maybe go with her to a maternity course.

The best thing you could do to that baby is be on her good side and make sure she learns how to be a good mom. Get her some self care things like some slippers or a cozy robe, take her to get her nails done, plan her baby shower. If you’re so worried, make sure she goes to a parenting class, make sure she’s as healthy as can be and make sure she isn’t stressed.
Also, talk to your brother, he should go to those parenting classes too.

And you sound very invasive and controlling, like you want to make her do the right thing and then take their child so their kid is in good hands, but unless she is hurting her child (when it’s born) there’s nothing you can do. Might as well support their parenting journey unless they’re being dangerous.

How do you know what kind of mom she will be? She has every right to set boundaries & rules for HER child. I didnt see where you said your brother had any issues with what she is doing. If he does he needs to talk to her about it, not you. You sound like drama & control issues. Lucky if they let you around the baby period, I wouldn’t have someone around my child that is trying to break my family apart & tell me how I need to parent.

Firstly… thank you for being a caring sister and aunt. It’s amazing that your brother has that kind of support. With that said, this battle u feel coming, is one your brother has to endure. The best thing you can do is be there for him during it. Be a good aunt despite your differences of opinion with its mother, one sure way to disrupt a family is by disliking the person they love. A tattoo isn’t a bad thing to get while pregnant, I’d much rather someone do that than do drugs or drink. I don’t think she meant to get an infection, but this will be a learning curve for her now. As long as you educate an not belittle, communication goes a real long way, best of wishes hun!

I feel like your hatred of your sister in law is clouding your judgment. Any parent has the right to set any rules in place for people to see their child or for their child in general.
There’s probably a good explanation for all of their rules. Maybe just ask them & keep an open mind. It’s fine if you don’t agree but you have no right to tell another parent what to do with their kid unless they’re hurting the child.

Nothing but be there for when things get really bad and provide a shoulder for your brother to cry on.

His balls need to drop on their own, you can’t help him with that.
The law is on the mother’s side.
She’d have to be endangering, abusing or severely neglecting the child before the law will even bother to look at a case of removing her child.
Until then it’s her child, her rules.

You’re overstepping and mad because she’s not going to allow you to overstep once the baby is born … get over yourself.

That’s her child, she makes the rules. You sound like you’re over stepping.

I have someone like you in my life and best believe they will likely not see my child until he’s grown because I refuse to deal with that shit, you’re likely going to get the same treatment.

What I will say is, your behaviour only hurts your brother, just stop, take the backseat, it’s where you should be.

The best thing you can do for your brother is to mind your own buisness and leave her alone. The more you try to get in the middle of things the harder it’s going to be for him to see his child.

NOT your child. The tattoo thing was very irresponsible but you need to back off and realize you are NOT this baby’s mother and the best thing you can do is NOT add more stress than expecting mom.

Exactly why I am getting divorced. Forward sister inlaw. Please mind your own business.

She definitely didn’t just make these rules, we set rules usually for a reason. You sound nosey and she’s been pretty nice to you imo. Mind your business, if he ever wants to leave that’s his choice. I’m sure you have boundaries on certain things as well.

Try being kind, supportive and available to her and your brother. The people in these comments are correct it isn’t your baby. If you over step it will make it harder for them to trust you. Yea the tattoo thing was stupid but hopefully she learned from that mistake. It isn’t your job to “protect” the child from things you fear could happen in the future. It’s a bitter pill to swallow but it is the truth. It is the child’s parents job to protect it. If your brother isn’t happy with something the mother of his child is doing then it is his job to step up. We all raise our children differently, nobody is perfect, somebody will always disagree with how you parent even if you think you are doing the right thing. Again this best thing you can do is provide love and support. Let them live their lives and you live yours.

It’s understandable to have rules for a new born baby. I wouldn’t let anyone touch or even be in the same room with my daughter when she was born, but that was only if they were sick. If someone wasn’t sick, they had to wash their hands up to their elbows (just like I had to when I was in the hospital with her). She was premature and I was not having her go back to the nicu because people couldn’t keep away when sick. You gotta respect that. Especially if it’s her first baby. Nothing wrong with setting boundaries.
As for the tattoo while pregnant, the tattoo artist should’ve said no. The infection could’ve spread to her baby. But that also isn’t a reflection on how she will treat her baby when it arrives.

First of all. The only red flag about this status isn’t your sister in law it’s you. You need some serious maturing and growing up. You can get tattoos while you’re pregnant is there a small possibility of infection, yes but it doesn’t happen to everyone. As for her making rules about what you guys can and can’t do if you’re this upset about it if I was her once my child is born I wouldn’t let you anywhere near, because clearly you have issues with respecting parents boundaries. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like her, your brother obviously does. You’re trash dude.
