my boyfriend's family
So my bf family thinks I over protect my baby, I mean I understand it can be kinda annoying to them But he's my first baby and they don't understand how much I love this child, and I keep finding out thier saying some negative stuff about me and it really hurts my feeling. My baby is just 10days old and his mom keeps inviting people we don't even know over , to our house to meet the baby. she KNOWS I don't want to many people around baby until he has his shots. idk I keep telling my boyfriend I don't want them over anymore but I can't do that to him. I'm just really upset.
Awh thank you girls. I'm glad you guys understand and don't think I'm over reacting.
@specialmom I don't live with her but she feels like its OK to not even give us a heads up and have god knows who over. My mom is over protective of me and I'm 21 so they kinda make fun of us both its just getting old already.

Do what you feel is right. Mamas know best... I caught meningitis at 3 weeks old due to what my mom believes too many people around me.
It is your baby and yu do what u want with it its not her baby its yours and if u don't want anyone around it then tell her that
Don't cry to her hun the baby is yours you went through pregnancy n had a your child n your just making sure your baby is safe seriously get a back bone and tell her straight or in the future she will walk all over you or worse take over the child's life learn to take control now before she gets out of hand their saying the negative comments about you on purpose to get a reaction don't give them one. Good luck n congratulations on being a new mummy xxx

Hi there. Congrats on the new baby, very exciting! I think most first time new moms are like this and it is perfectly natural. And your RIGHT to be that way. Some people do make fun of new parents which is slightly annoying. My husband comes from a big family and he has a brother and sister in law that were very protective and to this day, they make fun of that couple. (um, there kids are in college!). so, it's annoying but this is something that some just make fun of.
My pediatrician actually TOLD us to limit contact with outsiders. We did it very much so in the beginning too. And if someone came to our house, they'd get instructed on how to wash away germs with our special antibacterial soap! :>)
But I think you are within your right to say to your mother in law that you will invite people over and she is not to invite people to your home. You don't live with her, do you? Tell her that you are recovering from having a child and really don't feel the need to show pony your baby to her friends. Soon enough, all will meet your baby but that you are spending some quality time, letting baby's immune system mature, recovering yourself, etc. so that YOU will be in control of if and when you have visitors.
Just tell this to her matter of factly. And I'm one that keeps my doors locked and doesn't answer if I don't feel like it. :>) good luck

That's exactly how I feel I've cried to her asking her to stop and she pretends she totally understands but doesn't at all. But thank you girls .
no ur mother in law should understand that and not allow strangers around ur child or so many people they can get yr child sick my mom and are not letting people near my baby until hes older u dont noe if these people have herpes or other sicknesses that can hurt ur baby
Do whats best for your child there are just gonna have to get over it that baby could get anything im sorry they wouldn't come in my house
i don't think there's anything wrong with that, all the girls in my family that had babies were exactly the same way. In the end it is YOUR baby and if they say negative stuff about you then just ignore it. It's not like you're being a bad parent or anything. Good luck.
