Family, Relationships
ADVERTIsem*nT
For parents and relatives of a newborn baby, almost nothing in the world is as important as that tiny little human. They’re growing and changing every single day, and it’s tempting for family members to visit every chance they get. But babies are fragile, and we have to remember to take certain precautions before seeing them.
One frustrated mother recently shared on Reddit that she has banned her husband’s family from seeing her child, after they deliberately disobeyed her visiting rules. Below, you’ll find the full story, as well as some of the replies from concerned readers.
A newborn baby is exciting for the entire family

Howdy, I'm Adelaide! I'm originally from Texas, but after graduating from university with an acting degree, I relocated to sunny Los Angeles for a while. I then got a serious bite from the travel bug and found myself moving to Sweden and England before settling in Lithuania about two years ago. I'm passionate about animal welfare, sustainability and eating delicious food. But as you can see, I cover a wide range of topics including drama, internet trends and hilarious memes. I can easily be won over with a Seinfeld reference, vegan pastry or glass of fresh cold brew. And during my free time, I can usually be seen strolling through a park, playing tennis or baking something tasty.

My daughter came home after six weeks in the NICU (wife's water broke at 26 weeks, delivered at 28 weeks). We have her with us and she is laying down blue and not breathing. My wife resuscitated her and we rushed her to the hospital. She had gotten the flu, likely from an older sibling (no, we never blamed anyone). Had my wife not known what to do, our baby would have died... saying that, f**k those in-laws! They knowingly ignored the safety of that baby. Had it died, do they think there would ever have been forgiveness?

They probably would have said, "It was God's will to call her home," then asked for the baby furniture so someone else could furnish their own nursery without spending a cent.

As someone who had to take my best friend and her daughter to the hospital countless times for RSV that family is beyond selfish and Beyond stupid. RSV is no joke! Babies die all the time from that. Yes, their immune systems need to be built up, but not like that.

NTA nah your good don't let them anywhere near your baby. Medicine is pretty advanced, but that s**t is still life and death for an infant. You made the right call Mom.
