Yes. You clearly have OCD and you need to talk to someone about that. Sounds like Everyone loves you baby and you should let them express themselves.
We are still in a global pandemic⌠yes you have every right to be pissed off!
Wow! Rude, I love my grand babies, I donât kiss them on anything but forehead out of health and respect. But sheesh Iâd be offended highly if my kid and his gf acted like you are. I didnât kiss them on forehead even until a month old but damn you need to chillax lady.
They love your baby. Let them express it.
You need to relax. At 7months old they are getting germs from everything rolling everywhere you donât want them. Kisses on the forehead are fine. The lips, Iâd be concerned but really just relax. Your baby will be fine!
110% over reacting. I cant imagine telling my kids grandparents they canât kiss them on the forehead. I can see no lips, but the forehead? Are they allowed to hug? Thatâs more of a physical closeness than a kiss on the forehead
Stop letting them see her until they respect what you say about your child. Theyâll get the picture that youâre serious
Sounds like PPD/PPA!!! Take deep breaths and talk to your ob and pediatrician
I think you may be overreacting, somewhat about the kissing of the forehead. but if youâve told them not to do it and they still do it, Now thatâs why Iâd be upset. Youâre setting boundaries and they are not following them. Your child your rules
My kids grandparents on her dads side always try to kiss her on the lips. I cant stand it
Iâm surprised at these answers. I am the outlier, I do not think youâre overreacting. Babies are vulnerable both with their immune system, and that they canât talk to tell you anything, be it that theyâre not feeling well or even if theyâre uncomfortable.
You are your childâs advocate and protector and have absolute right to express your desire for these behaviors not to happen. There are plenty of ways to express affection besides kisses.
When my daughter was born , no one was allowed to kiss her and not a one held her until they sanitized their hands. And even with those precautions she still caught a virus that put her in the hospital a few days.
Your parents should be listening to you . If theyâre disregarding you in front of you I can imagine theyâd be worse when youâre not around. My mother and I had an understanding and due to that I trust her 1000% at all times with my daughter whether Iâm there or not.
Please donât deny a family member the chance to give your child affection as long as they arenât obviously ill and itâs not inappropriate contact. I get that itâs YOUR kid but I think you need to pick your battles and this might not be the one.
Itâs your child, go with your gut and do what you think is safest for your child. Please donât let the Facebook doctors on here diagnose you with any disorder.
1000% over reacting. I loved my grandmother to death⌠I couldnât wait for her kisses. We as human beings have lost our senses. This touch me not world has to stop. We are breeding generations of depressed and unloved children. STOP IT NOW. I do not say live in dirt but a little dirt never killed anyone.
If their lips seems fine sure kiss away but if u see like cold sore or something crazy then noooooo. But ur child u call the shots and if u donât like then u have all right to tell them not to. I personally donât see a prob with itâŚ
People are over the top these days. I mean we survived growing up with love and affection from all of our family members and there were virus and diseases then tooâ:rofl:
Better than kissing their hand. I give my grand baby belly kissesâŚ
Iâve had some random lady try kiss my baby on the cheek. I was like WOOOOAH
I donât care WHAT it is, if the parent of a child says no to something you DO NOT DO IT! They had their turn kissing their own kids and now itâs their turn to be RESPECTFUL grandparents.
Itâs proven that kids that get affection grow up to be better adjusted humans. Kids without contact become withdrawn and emotionally closed off. Not only that but kids need germs to build healthy immune systems.
Hell yes youâre overreacting! damn girl Seriously . I kiss my children and my grandchildren on the lips, live with the forehead. Get over yourself. Children need love and affection
Definitely over reacting. Those are her grandparents⌠she is part of them. Be grateful that theyâre in her life and care for her.
I would be so hurt if I was told I couldnât kiss my grandchildrenâs foreheads. I love the smell of them.
The main problem isnât how your reacting to it. You have set boundaries and they are refusing to follow. Itâs better to put your foot down now before it becomes a revolving issue. If it were me I would simply take the baby back and remind them what your boundaries are.
Yes you are. They are grandparents, and itâs natural for someone to smooch on a baby. Especially grandparents⌠itâs how they show affection.
Youâre overeating. Itâs grandparents. theyâre also not kissing her on her mouth or hands that sheâll subsequently put in her mouth and ingest their âgermsâ. If theyâre not sick itâs a bit much what youâre doing. I understand your right to protect your child, but thereâs bigger issues in this world than your in-laws loving your child.
Also, a wipe doesnât do crap. Youâre just spreading whatever you think is there. If anything a bath and change of clothes would be required. I feel like you havenât really thought your concern through.
Do your parents kiss the cold on the forehead? Donât get me wrong, when my grandbabies are very young, neither of my daughters want the to be kissed in the face area, but the forehead/ head arenât a big deal. Unless they are sick, or coughing on the baby or something. It is your child, but itâs their childâs child also. What does your spouse say? Iâm guessing from the wording of the post he isnât worried? Just wondering why itâs such a big deal
Itâs called RSV ppl why tf would you ever want to risk that with you infant.
Noooooo you are not over reacting at all!!!
Definitely overreacting.
Grandparents are some of the most entitled people ever. If i say dont kiss my fucking baby, dont do it. Yall are wack for agreeing with people pushing their boundaries with someone elses child.
I say to each their own with what youâre comfortable with.
If itâs coming from a place of paranoia of germs, I would say maybe meet with a therapist or someone to talk about it and make sure itâs not an unhealthy obsession or something.
But, your kid - your decisions. If the parents say no to something, thatâs law to me whether I agree or think itâs nuts or whatever. Nobody gets to tell ME what Iâm allowed to be comfortable with etc, so I donât believe anyone else has the right to argue with you on what affection you prohibit with your child until the child can speak their preferences for themselves.
I still donât let anyone kiss my 2 yr old mostly now bc we are teaching her itâs her body and she doesnât have to give anyone hugs or kisses she doesnât want to. But when she was little I had to remind my aunt a few times and I felt super bad but I was stern and she got the message. Itâs called boundaries and if people canât respect your wishes they donât deserve to see baby.
Ummm thatâs what Grandparents do. I also understand with Covid and such itâs a little scary but again, that is what grandparents do so yes - you are over-reacting.
I say if YOU, THE MOM, say no, then dammit, the answer is NO! Your child, your call. PERIOD!
This other crap about you over reacting is just disrespectful to me. Sheâs not going to grow up a serial killer or feeling unloved because you chose to keep her safe during this pandemic or even if your just a regular ole germaphobe. Be like Bobby Brown, girl. ITS YOUR PREROGATIVE! No one else has to sit up with a sick baby or worse except you so you do what you think is best and screw what other people think. Seriously, take a stand mama!
Uh yes you are! Consider it like a blessing or there way of greeting the baby with love and respect. Better than kissing on the mouth!
Nope. No one that wasnât me and my husband were allowed to kiss my babies.
Cold sores can kill small babies and be passed even without an active outbreak. Rsv can kill too you arenât overreacting. I told my sister so many times do not kiss my baby on the lips! She still kept doing it until I got ugly.
Oh heâs thatâs overreacting big time
How does your husband feel? And do your parents kiss her? Life is to short to bicker over that. They love her be grateful some kids donât have grandparents that love them or any at all!!
Its a forehead kiss. It could Definitely be worse. U should just remember that they love the baby.
Without the Grandparents you wouldnât have your baby. Kissing, hugging and spoiling is what Grandparents do. Be happy they show love to your baby. Its selfish to deny your baby love from its Grandparents.
You sound annoying wiping it off with a wipe. How many times have they kissed your partner ? If they had cold sores, your man would have them and so would you. People make it so hard to be around them and then go cry when nobody wants to see you. Iâm sure your child will appreciate the kisses later on
I say you are 100% over reactingâŚHOWEVER, you are the mother and they should respect your wishes
Forehead is fine, cheeks and lips are a no no. But itâs your baby so they need to listen. I do agree with what someone said before me, be glad your baby has grandparents my sons grandparents are in Mexico and Guatemala and will prob never see my kids.
Who cares if itâs the grandparents! If they are carrying a cold, or letâs just say have a history of cold sores, that could destroy that baby. My daughter got a cold at 23 days old from her grandparents not listening and kissing her anyways. She spent over a week in the childrenâs hospital. Shaking from fevers, getting poked for an iv twice a day because her veins were too little and kept blowing. Eventually ran out of options for veins and they used one in her head. Constants blood draws, and watching her be too sick to eat was torture.
Plus the fact that youve asked them to stop and they continue to disrespect you is ridiculous.
From someone whoâs grandmother was more mother than grandmother and whoâs mum has walked away not only from her daughter but grandkidsâŚYES, you are over reacting!!! I wish every day that my grandmother was still here and that my mum gave a shit enough to be aroundâŚthink yourself lucky that your child has grandparents that not only love them but want to show and acknowledge this love, a kiss on the forehead is a sign of love and at least itâs safer than kissing on the mouth.
Yeah overreacting for sure unless theyâve been sick recently.

Hello BABA KHONI
Today I have gathered enough confidence to write my appreciation testimony to you Mama so as the world can read and know we have a genuine person to run to when we are troubled. I got to know about BABA Khoni from this same platform Facebook yes⌠My husband had abandoned me together with my 4 kids without any support yet I wasnât working and moved in with his mistress, besides the pain of loosing him to this low life mistress of his this woman kept insulting me anytime she pleased, sent me pictures of them making out, Naked pictures of them on vacations yet he was not supporting us. My husband completely changed to a stranger in less than a month when he met this woman, I had never been in this situation of even begging on streets to get what to eat but this woman made me go through it, I would have forgiven his mistress but I canât forget when I was raped on my way back when I had gone to get food for my kids this was the worst pain i couldnât even stand since it was a gang of men who had raped me and it was by Godâs grace that a stranger rushed me to a hospital, called my sister to look out for me and take care of my kids as am nursing wounds. After a week I was able to go back home but I was full of Rage, Anger and Revenge is all I wanted so I started looking for Sangomas to do my Revenge thatâs how I landed on BABA Khoni through his Facebook page âBABA Khoni Traditional Spell Casterâ who counseled me, asked me to first forgive everyone then we proceed which I did. We later casted the spell to lure my husband back which worked in only 2days. My husband came back home saying his mistress is a witch and that she doesnât want his kids thatâs why he wasnât supporting us, he asked for my forgiveness and we moved on. Thank you BABA Khoni you taught me alot and yes even the Revenge Spell is working I heard great news of his mistress involving in a car accident she deserves everything bad for what she made me go through. Call/WhatsApp +27736826252
So your upset because your In laws show love affection toward your baby? So sad smh
Itâs your child. It makes you uncomfortable. Youâre not overreacting. This comment section is disgusting
Itâs your call but let me tell you kids canât get to much love. My 4 kids never had grandparents that ever cared if they saw them or not. 4 sets of grandparents that my kids didnât know. Yes itâs your decision but I know if I was told I couldnât kiss my 9 grandkids I probably wouldnât be spending much time with them. I have very special bonds with each of them. Ages from 21 down to 3 months.
Girl that must be your first baby. Let that grandmother be proud of her grand baby.
Your childâs grandparents canât show them love and affection? You literally wipe off their kiss ? You sound like an over reacting helicopter mom
I think so. I only wish my daughter had a grandmother that wanted to see her or answer my daughters calls and texts.
Itâs the damn forehead Yes, ur overreacting and being totally over bearing⌠Be happy ur child has love and affection from their grandparents, not every child is so lucky to have thatâŚI have 1 that wouldnât know her other grandparents if they tripped over her⌠And when they did see her (once in a blue moon b4 the Covid outbreak) her grandmother never even held her let alone anything else
Yaâll are really acting like weâre not in the middle of a pandemic.
fuck these people saying your over reacting. my daughter got RSV at eight months old from this shit right here!!! my daughter had to sit with an oxygen mask on her face twice a day to help her breathe and open her lungs. if they dont live in the household with your baby then they dont need to be doing that. period. especially if you said no. YOUR THE MOTHER NO ONE SURPASSES YOUR WORD!!!
Maybe if she were newborn, but 7 months?? Hereâs a questionâŚdo YOUR parents kiss the baby?
I guess it depends on why you have an issue with it. If itâs due to cold sore possibility or some other virus, then no, youâre not over reacting. If itâs just because you thinks itâs icky, then yes, you are.
That said, they should respect your wishes, as itâs your child but back to depending on why you have issue with it, YOU may need help.
I feel bad for the grandparents. They just want to love on their grandbaby. Lips is totally different than cheek or forehead.
its not over reacting, Adults spread diseases , herpes etc . Nobody should kiss a new born
Yes over reacting itâs the forehead not lips and their grandparents. But itâs your child your rules
Yes. Sorry. What I wouldnât give to get another hug and kiss from mine. Or for my husbands deceased stepmom to meet Liam and Hannah. Life is short.
Yes you are over reacting, lips would be different. Actually all our immune systems are built by exposure from those around us. Too much anti bacterial in the world today.Covid cleanliness will be hard on us all.
Look I get it. With everything going on in todayâs world. Last thing I would want is my baby catching fuxking covid or getting any virus. You know whatâs best for your baby I support your parenting choices.
Wouldnt wipe ya babys forehead with wipes its actually bad for their skin
Just think they could be kissing her on the mouth.
Sometimes you just have to pick your battles.
Yes youâre overreacting
Whatâs the problem here, the in laws love your kid
Why do you have to make a huge issue out of someone showing affection
Is your mother allowed to kiss your child on the head? Do you wipe you child down everytine you kiss her head? If so
Youâre being hypocritical
Definitely over reacting
My son is almost a year and still donât let people kiss him. I donât care if people think Iâm overreacting or not itâs mine and my husbandâs baby and neither of us want people kissing him.
Idk I donât want people kissing my baby either, who cares, itâs my my baby. They will respect my parenting choices or Wish they did when we donât come around
You are not over reacting at all. We are in the middle of a pandemic. I would refuse to see them until they can control themselves.
Really itâs on the forehead and at least they arenât kissing her on the lips like a lot of them do. Itâs their grandchild! This baby wouldnât even be here if the grandparents for this child decided to not have kids! So count your blessings and pick your battles!
Let grandparents be grandparents sheâll be one one day
If your baby was like a month old I would agree with you. But at 7 months it should be fine.
Your baby! Your rules
You arenât over reacting at all. It is your baby and they should follow your rules about the baby. Now I hope that goes for both sets of grandparents though.
They arenât random people theyâre the grandparents. Do your parents kiss you child?
Where do you live. Iâm in Ontario & weâre in a pandemic. So definitely I agree .
They are her family! Arenât they allowed to show they love her? Wow! Smh
Those 2 people created the pecker that created said baby. Iâm SURE their lips are fine.
I mean itâs your kid. If you dont like it, itâs gatta be for a reason⌠plus the whole covid crap. I get it. I think this is different with every parent.
Not overreacting!! Your baby, your rules!!
How is the parent over reacting? Honestly. It is HER child, which means HER rules and boundaries. If she is uncomfortable and has expressed this many times, the other people need to have respect for HER.
People can express love in other ways.
Telling someone they are over reacting when they are uncomfortable seems very rude and disrespectful.
I did not allow anyone other than myself and my spouse to kiss our child up til he was 1 yrs old. My in laws are American Mexican and very hands on, yet they understood and respected my wishes.
good griefâŚreally? It is their grandchildâŚ
I mean if it was on the mouth , no I wouldnât be overreacting , but her forehead ?! To each itâs own but I would HATE when my bd would kiss my son cause he be doing some sinful shit with his mouth .
Itâs overreacting and it wonât hurt a 7 month oldâs head to get a kiss. And if this mom is so concerned about germs stay home and donât take the baby around anybody else. But you do you as is your right to be controlling.
I bet your in laws like youâŚ
People think youâre overreacting until your baby gets RSV!!!
Are they alcohol wipes?
Some worry about kissing them on the lips, kissing them on the forehead is way better!
I would rather have them kiss the forehead than on the lips.
Overreacting. As a grandmother, my grandchildren feel like they are my children just as one of their parents was my child.
Really they are kissing her on the forehead your overreacting
YOU SET THE RULES.
They can suck it.
Far out Lan. I canât imagine not showering your baby in love!
Yes. Yes you are. I assume the MIL is the babyâs grandma?
You will get over it by your second child. You will not only let them kiss her on the forehead but let them take her for a while. Children need to be exposed and there immune system stimulated
Yes you are overreacting! Your poor in-laws.
Yes, absolutely!!! You are really overreacting!!!
