Why are people so desperate to kiss baby?!

Because they are inconsiderate idiots and not understand the risks. I wish I’d said it earlier to my father in law, but just say ‘why are you so obsessed with kissing children?’ It shuts them right up x

My baby boy ended up in the hospital at 4 weeks old with the flu and had to have a spinal tap to check for meningitis after we went to my in-laws house when my brother in law was sick. We kick ourselves for going but it was a learning experience to trust our parental instincts. Baby boy was okay and only spent a couple of days in the hospital. But others aren't so lucky.
Even after all that, we have still caught my MIL kissing him twice after telling her multiple times not to. When my husband saw her do it once and asked her not to do that, she claims she didn't know she wasn't allowed and acted offended. 🙄
I feel like it's common sense not to kiss a baby that isn't yours. Especially now with all the measles outbreaks. But apparently it's not.
We will continue to tell people no as long as we need to. I feel no need to be delicate. It's not worth another hospital stay or worse. They need to learn to respect that if they wish to be around.

ahahahaha AMAZING retort
