I’d understand if it was on the mouth… But the forehead… Come on

Whenever I visited my mother in law she would bath my baby son. I was young and I thought she believed I didn’t keep him clean enough. I got silly and believed my thoughts. My mother in law died from cancer when our son was 7 months old. As I grew in age and wisdom I realized she did this because she loved her grand baby and nothing to do with me. I cant bring back those times for her but I can tell you…I wish I knew earlier while she was still around to encourage all the love she wanted to give my son…I had three more children who missed out on her washing and fussing. You are blessed to have people in your and your childrens lives who love them…make the most of it…<3.

No. Adult mouths are full of bacteria and viruses. Herpes is easily transmitted to children through innocent kisses. It sheds before there are any visible signs and can be carried by someone who never had a cold sore or genital outbreak. Both can be in the garnishes and oral cavity. It can get in their eyes, nose, mouth and that lasts forever. Heroes is one of the most common sti related infections and you do not need sexual contact to get it. Your kid, your decision.

Yes. Let that baby know love and affection from people.

Yes, you are overreacting. Stop

Stop kissing their child then, find a different way to show your affection :woman_shrugging:t5::rofl:

What a silly thing to be upset over

Nobody is allowed to kiss my baby except for my husband and I. He’s 2 now and my rule still stands! All it takes is one kiss to get herpes, a cold, the flu. Not a risk I’m willing to take!

OA rakay ka besssssss hahahaha

To each their own, but I have no idea how so many of us have survived kisses on the forehead from Granny. It’s a miracle.

Sounds like you are trying to pick a fight with your in-laws.

Yes! You’re overreacting! Soon you won’t be able to control WHAT goes in her mouth, on her face, or anywhere else. Why care so much that her precious grandparents want to show her love while they’re still able to? Go smoke a bowl and chill out

Kisses on the forehead? Are they nasty stinking breathe people? Poor hygiene? Then I can understand your disapproval. But affectionate kisses shouldn’t be denied. It’s a great bonding tool. My grandkids are teenage now. It’s automatic for them to hug me and we exchange forehead and cheek kisses. Something I’ve been doing since they were infants.

I’m torn as I understand you want to protect your baby from anything that potentially threatens them… that’s our job as momma bears, so maybe ask them to tone it down to a kiss hello and good bye, respecting boundaries, luckily you have caring/ loving grands for your baby so they may understand your concerns especially in the crazy covid world we live in today… but for me as someone who’s in laws both passed away and never got to meet my kids… I’d give anything to have them around to love my kids like I do… my heart is with you and I hope my advise helps :heart: I do keep hearing the only thing better or close to the same as being a parent is turning into a grand parent

You sound very ignorant. As a grandma of 3 I’ve kissed every one and never once killed one by doing It. New born fresh out the womb sure but come on 7 months old. The kid is eating their own snot I’m sure. Sounds like your just an unhappy person. Now if they showed the baby no attention you’d be on here complaining about that too

It’s YOUR child. It’s not overreacting and can’t nobody tell you what to do with YOUR child

WTF? Weren’t YOU kissed as a baby? Get over it. Quit being selfish and possessive. You HAD the child but you don’t OWN it like a possession for God’s sake. DON"T FORGET THOSE LOVING PEOPLE MADE THE MAN WHO GAVE YOU THAT CHILD AND WITHOUT THEM OR HIM YOU WOULDN’T HAVE IT!!! :arrow_up::arrow_up::arrow_up::arrow_up::arrow_up:

But for her specifically to point out the child is being kissed on the forehead makes it absolutely ridiculous for this to even be a topic of conversation! GTFOH!

Think you are overreacting but at the same time it’s your choice

Sorry, but you are overreacting. Would you rather they not show the baby any affection, or what?

That’s your baby and they ought to respect your boundaries make it clear no kissing !! Period

Gurl Bye! You have to be thankful that you ate blessed to have in-laws who love their children.

Your child. Your rules. Have your husband set them straight or restrict their ability to see your child.

Most of these comments DISGUST me. That is YOUR child, nobody else’s, which makes it YOUR right to choose if people are allowed to kiss your child or not. Point blank. It is not overreacting to try and make sure your child stays healthy. I would never allow anybody to kiss my child, even on the forehead.:woman_shrugging:t2: Nobody is entitled to your child, nobody has any rights to your child other than her parents.

Way over board petty on your part SMH

u sound like an asshole. get over ur self.

Yeah u are!! Its better than them kissing her in the mouth.

Yes. You are absolutely overreacting!

I think so. My opinion.

You do not need to kiss my child to bond with them. Fuck off. Quite literally. Xo

I read some testimonies about a love spell caster by Dr. Durojiaye on how he
has helped lots of people in bringing back their ex lovers within
48hours, Sincerely I was just thinking if that was real and if this man
could really help bring back my lover whom I love so much. I decided to
contact him because I love my boyfriend very much and we have been apart
for a couple of months I really missed him so much, I have tried all
other means to get him back but couldn’t.I contacted Dr. Durojiaye and he told
me that my ex will come back to me in the next 48 hours,Dr.Durojiaye
released him up to know how much i loved and wanted him. And opened his
eyes to picture how much we have share together. My ex is now back to me
again.As Im writing this testimony right now Im the most happiest
girl on earth and me and my boyfriend is living a happy life and our
love is now stronger than how it were even before our break up.All
thanks goes to Dr. Durojiaye for the excessive work that he has done for me
by helping me to get back with my ex boyfriend. I would like to drop
Dr.Durojiaye email address and hope you see this testimony and contact him if
you have a lover that you really want back so badly, Email:drdurojiayelovesspell@gmail.com or

Not overreacting at all. They should respect your wishes with your baby whatever they are.

Forehead, not that serious imo. I had to raise hell because mines family wouldnt quit kissing their mouths. Had me afraid to leave my babies unsupervised with them because they wouldn’t listen

You’re not overreacting. That is your child. You have every right to set boundaries as you see fit. They shouldn’t be kissing a child as young as that. They could possibly kill the child if they pass on herpes, RSV, etc. Set those boundaries momma, the grandparents can wait until the baby can fight off infections. They can be around her fine, but not kissing. They’re blatantly disrespecting you.

Y’all are weird as fuck. I don’t care who it is, don’t touch my kid if I say not to. Or you’ll lose privileges. That simple.

Your baby your rules.

Oh hell yeah, I would be annoyed if I couldn’t give my grand babies a kiss on the forehead.
A baby should feel all the love from their parents and grandparents.

If they were doing it 24/7 and close to the mouth or on the mouth then that’s different.

I kiss my 6 month old niece on her forehead my sister doesn’t treat me like shit for it. Pretty sure we are family. … :thinking: And this whole your baby your choice nonsense.

Now see I didn’t have a problem with it, but my brother and sister in law did because they felt like their child should only accept hugs and kisses if they want to with their permission. Now if. They were old enough to object and the family was. Still trying to do it then fuck yes id have a problem.

Good grief :woman_facepalming:t2: What’s the matter with you? That is very sad and I feel sorry for your in-laws. They are showing baby love and affection and baby needs to develop an healthy immune system. Stop ‘wiping down’. They are only kissing the child’s forehead!

I had awful post partum anxiety and I was so panicked about germs when my baby was born… but to help myself/ease into relaxing around family visits, I did allow close family to kiss him on the forehead or the top of the head, but I can understand that it makes you anxious. It is sad they aren’t respecting your wishes but if it’s about germs and just not liking them I wouldn’t worry too much. If it is because you don’t like your in laws I don’t really have any advice.

I’m sorry but you are in the wrong this time I would totally get it if they were kissing her on the mouth or it was people you didn’t know but it’s her grandparents that would be like your husband partner saying that he didn’t want your parents to kiss the baby at all ever

As a new mom with baby who spent his first month and a half of life in the NICU, we finally brought him home on Easter
And preemies are higher risk for colds ect
I understand how much grandparents love their babies and I let my mom kiss him on the head.
I tell other people not to kiss on him but it’s a natural feeling.

Don’t be so stressed out about the small things is what I’m learning.
But everyone in my family knows that if my baby gets sick they have to deal with me.
I think if you make that very clear people tend to do things at their own disgression.
He’s your baby yes. But he’s also others too ya know?
That’s something I had a hard time with at first.
Grandparents aunts uncles. They want to share the love and experience too. Try not to rob people of that too much. It’s hard being in a pandemic but just trust that they love your baby too.

Yes you are! Its her forehead. You need to chill and be glad grandma and grandpa love their grandchild.
