Completely 100% overreacting. I cant imagine being such a hateful person that I would tell my childs grandparents to refrain from showing them affection. I bet you dont tell your mother to stop loving on her grandchild. Spiteful woman.
Get a grip! Whatâs wrong with you?!
Olivia Brianne Robison
Is it because of Covid? Or would you feel like that without covid?
Youâre being absolutely ridiculous. They arenât kissing your baby on the lips. Thatâs their grandchild
I donât at all think you are over reacting. People have cold sores and sometimes they go un noticed and are mistaken for a crack on the corner of your lip and can unknowingly be passed to your child through a kiss.
Yes u r over reacting. Without them you wouldnât have a baby.
Nope your baby your rules!! Pandemic is no joke!!
Over reacting, if youâre kissing your kid and your parents and husband are then why canât they??? Be glad they even want to be around your kid, itâs not like they are kissing your kid on the mouth
Some kids have no love at all she is blessed
Not overreacting. It doesnât matter what it is, if you say no when it comes to your child, they should respect it no matter what.
No! It is YOUR child and if you say no it means no! Itâs sick that people on here are trying to tell you to lower your boundaries!!
The only people that donât allow kissing are prostitutes .itâs their grandchild for gods sake .
your baby, your rules. simple, this is my rule as well and it took time but they get it now. Itâs important that people respect your BOUNDARIES, just because they are family does not mean they get to do as they please with your child. they had the chance to raise their children now let them give you yours!
Also: there are plenty other ways to show love and affection
This actually breaks my heart. Having grandparents involved and showing their grand babies how much they love them is a bond so special for a child and a lot of them never get to experience it. Yes as the parent you have the final say but theyâre showing their love for them . They arenât allowing them to do something they shouldnât or putting them in harms way. And for everyone saying they could catch something , Iâd hate to see what you would think seeing what goes on in a daycare with kids slobbering all over everything. You can not shelter them from everything. More than likely they will eventually be in public school & they need to build up some immunity to things. It isnât a stranger . It is the childâs grandparents and Iâm sure they would let you know if they were feeling sick and wouldnât be doing it if they didnât feel they were healthy. Those are the moments your child will cherish. When theyâre dead and gone those are the moments your child will wish they could have just one more of.
NTA. Your child, your boundaries. Period.
She is an extension of them. They love her just as much as you. I feel like you are overreacting
Your baby your rules but I think itâs crazy to not let the babyâs grandparents kiss them on the forehead. Yes we are in a pandemic but if youâre worried about that why are they holding the baby to begin with. Plus grandparents are great resources and babysitters and you will need someone to watch the kids sometimes. Seems a trivial thing to alienate them over.
You are over reacting big time itâs the babyâs grandparents, if complete strangers thatâs different but weâre talking about family
Wow!! On the forehead and you trip out. Are they allowed to hold her hand?? Give her a hug?? Are you scared because of the covid issue?? Or just freaked out over germs in general?
Youâre not overreacting. If you say something & they canât respect it they do not need to be around ur childđ¤ˇđťââď¸
No tell them again donât stop .donât let them hold her
and other people get upset when grandparents DONT seem to pay enough attention. I kinda feel bad for grandparents, like they canât win.
I mean if they are sick with cold/flu yea I can understand âŚbut they are kissing her forehead not her mouth⌠showing her love and affectionâŚbut I guess you are the mom soooooooo⌠I guess put an end to this horrible behavior at once.how dare theyâŚ
Yes you are. Simple as that. They arenât kissing her on the mouth⌠let them love her and be thankful they do.
Yes, you are over reacting. They arenât kissing on the mouth.
Calm down, Mama. That precious, delicate little flower will be eating boogers before you know it!
Bottom line. If you donât want them kissing your child. Then they need to stop kissing your child. I wouldnât even ask any ones opinion, because their opinions are irrelevant as fuck! Covid or not, they are going to be just fine giving your child a hug without having to put their mouth on them. Iâd tell them they canât come around anymore if they canât control themselves.
Definitely not over reacting, my daughter was a preemie and nobody could even touch her unless they had washed and sanitized their hands, kissing anywhere was an absolute negative. Germs are big things for tiny babies, especially preemies. Sheâs your baby, theyâre your rules. If they canât be respected, respectfully tell them until they can follow your wishes they need not even bother to ask to hold her
Your a horrible person they love that child also
Babys need to be exposed to things for a strong immune system. When they start day care and school it helps if they have strong antibodies built up. Just my opinion but you are the mom. Try talking to your pediatrician about it.
Grandparents canât kiss a baby on the forehead?
Is this for real or satire?
Itâs not on the mouth and itâs their grandchild
That breaks my heart
I love kissing my grand babies
Every, single, day
I think on the forehead is fine
Youâre one of those moms, I see.
Your baby is so lucky to have grandparents that love him/her.
I allow my parents to kiss my babies. That being said my inlaws never have but they get cold sores and know better then to. I do not allow my friends or random strangers to and i do make it known. Your kid your boundaries. I do think the wiping down with a wipe tho is a little bit of an over reaction if you do it each time. Do u wipe your kid down head to toe when they get the littlest bit dirty to?
Your baby, your choice!
Thatâs your child you make the rules
Tell them to kiss her on the back of the head. If one of my childrenâs family members are sick I tell them to kiss them on the back of the head. And it doesnât matter if someone thinks youâre overreacting by wiping her down as soon as they do it because you couldve been an a**whole and got a spray bottle like people do for a cat Even if they arenât sick everyone is in the middle of a pandemic and itâs a risk.
Yea your definitely being ridiculous and overreacting. Itâs the childâs forehead. Itâs not like they are kissing your child on the mouth.
I donât see anything wrong with grandparents kissing their grandchild on the forehead unless theyâre sick.
Wow some people in these comments are 100% assholes.
First of all, your kid, your rules. It doesnât matter if theyâre family, they should respect you and your wishes.
Second, fucking covid�?
Also, I guess none of these people have heard of shingles. Babies are incredibly susceptible to illness and infections. Even doctors will say not to let people kiss on your baby.
Your babyâŚyour rules. I didnât let anyone kiss on my baby or if they smokedâŚthey had to wash their hands, brush their teeth and change their shirt to even hold my child. I had my daughter in 2015, everyone even if they didnât smoke, still had to wash their hands. Babies are sensitive to A LOT of things and can get sick very easily at a young age. My daughters dads family even had to follow the rules or they couldnât touch my child. Everyone respected it. If they donât listen, tell them no more baby then. YOUR BABY, YOUR RULES!!! You have every right to be upset. Ignore the ones saying otherwise.
Thereâs literally a pandemic happening, so no youâre not overreacting. Even without Covid people donât always realize that theyâre sick. Cold sores etc. could cause serious symptoms in babies.
As a grandparent myself I feel they need to follow the rules are not get to hold them
Tell them no kissing abruptly and loudly
I think the forehead is fine, itâs their grandbaby.
Honestly I think you are over reacting.
Iâm a grandma and if I canât kiss my own grandbabies they can kiss my ass
Yes. You are WAY over the top. Calm it down
Would you act the same if your parents were doing the same thing? If yes, you would act and feel the same- then I would say no you arenât over reacting. But if itâs okay for your family and not for his, then you need to step back and look at yourself
I think itâs justified, especially with everything going on right now.
Sheâs able to touch her forehead, hands go in the mouthâŚthey might as well be kissing her on the mouth. I think itâs your choice and you can say if you donât want that.
I think you need to choose your battles wisely, is it worth getting mad? Or making your in laws upset or offended. I use to care a lot and now as long as it is only my close family I let them
I think youâre overreacting. What does your husband say since itâs his parents. If it was on the mouth, that would be one thing, but the forehead, I donât see any issue.
Unless they have recently been sick then ya I think its overreacting
Nope. If you donât like it then they need to respect your wishes. If they stomp these boundaries now theyâre more than likely going to push the limits as time goes on with other things.
I always kiss them
Itâs a thing
If u donât like it speak up louder
But the wipe isnât gonna help
Just sayin
But Iâd be pissed being told I canât love and kiss on my grand baby
Your baby, your rules. I personally think kissing on the forehead is fine but if you donât like it, then have them kiss on the back of the head until the baby is older.
I dont like when adults kiss children on the lipsđś
No, your not overreacting.
Itâs your baby, donât worry about what ppl think. Stand your ground.
Yes you are. Trust me, you want them to love her. People that love your children will be in your corner. You want as many people in your corner as possible!
Youâre not overreacting. It is YOUR child. You donât have to take anyone elseâs feelings into account. You do what you think is best for your baby.
That is their BLOOD!!! Youâre overreacting. Be grateful that you have grandparents that want to be involved in your childâs life, because my daughter does not have that.
Forehead is fine. Try kissing on the lip or near mouth donât fly though.
What does the childâs father say about it ? Itâs his kid too and if heâs ok with his parents kissing their grand kid then you need to chill.
Pick your battle!
Be grateful the little one is so loved and has grandparents
I love forehead kisses. No lips and even cheeks are closer to where germs enter the body
You sound fun yes youâre overreacting
Definitely overreacting.
My daughter put her foot down and came up with rules and boundaries for everyone.
I respect that!
Personally I wouldnât ever deprive my child of affection from his loved ones. But you do you.
I donât let anyone (except me and the dad) kiss my babies faces until they are 10+ months old.
The forehead??? Yeah you are probably over reacting. I could understand if it was the lips, but since itâs your baby, you get to call the shots and they should respect you.
Yeah you are most definitely overreacting geez sounds like you donât need kids if that little act of love bothers you
So what do your family do like your side ,
Do they do as you ask or you just worried about your in laws ,
As many people have issues with the inlaws but all good with their own family doing excatly same thing and its not a problem
Really? They are just loving your baby like a grandparent should. Pick your battles.
OverreactingâŚthey love her.All that count is their love and showing their affection.Do you constantly wipe her hands and sanitize the floor when she crawls?
If itâs random people, no. However, just remember, that baby shares blood with them and would never be there without themâŚ
Forehead ok. Lips no.
They love her, allow them to live on her. I understand no kissing around mouth but the forehead⌠if my hubby was like that with my parents we would have problems. Donât push them away. She is apart of them.
If you say no then itâs a no, I wouldnât ever visit ever again if they refused to listen
I think you are being over protective!! I would totally stand my ground if it was the lips or if they were inappropriate but a forehead kiss for a seven month old baby thatâs a sign of love and effecting that baby wouldnât be their if it were not for their son itâs their blood to you need to chill
overreacting! some grandchildren have no grandparents to give them love with forhead kisses! relax mamma!
Instead of hurling insulting comments ask questions. Why do you not want them kissing her on the forehead? Has it been since sheâs been born ?
Truly, it isnât going to harm the child!
Do your parents kiss the baby? What does the babyâs other parent say?
Iâd say youâre overreacting a bitâŚ
I love to see my babies grandparents love her. I want her to be close with all her family.
Maybe if it was on the mouth or close to the mouth, but the forehead I donât see a problem with.
You are overreacting. Let the grandparents love on their grand child and take pictures. Grandparents are so incredibly special.
Yes. You are absolutely overreacting.
Wet wipe for a forehead kiss? Yep⌠Definitely overreacting
I donât let people kiss my kid either. Thatâs why we cut off my in-laws, they couldnât respect our decision. Itâs your kid and your responsibility to keep them safe.
Itâs a pandemic. Nobody is allowed to kiss on my babygirl . Sheâs 4 months and I know family is family but not everyone is safe . I think itâs fine that she feels protective. Better safe than sorry
If it was strangers I wouldnât want them kissing my babies but these are your in laws, the babies grandparents. I
Doesnât matter if other people think you are over reacting or not. It is your kid, it is your rules. They can take it or leave it. You control who is in the childâs life and if they cant respect you or your wishes, they donât need to be involved.
Definitely overreacting. My in-laws donât even aknowledge my kids. Would you like that ? Donât know how germs would get to her off her forehead. But you do whatever makes you feel better I guess
If you are not comfortable with it then they should respect your wishes. I wouldnât want anyone touching my baby in a way I was not comfortable with.
Youâre overreacting about Family kissing baby on forehead but theyâre wrong for doing something you asked them not to do.
Lordy, you sound frightening. Chill out mamaâŚnow if they were sticking their fingers in her mouth then Iâd flip my shit
Sounds to me like your saying âplease donât show your grand baby love!â
If they are obviously ill then I could understand it but really, let them love their babies!
