What do you do if you have boundaries and your partner has none at all?
I have lots of boundaries/rules with our baby- and with myself postpartum but my husband disagrees with all of them. I’ve tried to be reasonable and meet him half way but he refuses to. And so I feel helpless. For example, if I say no to anybody kissing our baby- but my husband says yes people feel free to do so. And I can’t stop this. We live with his parents so it’s been a nightmare. I can set a boundary with them but then he will say he doesn’t mind so they follow what he wants.
He’ll say as it’s his daughter too he doesn’t need to follow any rules. He can let who he wants hold her, kiss her, leave her with unsupervised etc even if it makes me uncomfortable. I don’t know what to do. I’ve started working part time again so boundaries are more important than ever as I’m not with her 24/7 anymore.
My FIL is particularly disrespectful of my wishes. He changes my baby’s meals even because he doesn’t believe she is getting the right nutrients! ( I have her in a specific plan because of her chronic constipation). And is always invading my privacy. I’m not comfortable with him at all. He touches my daughter with his dirty hands all the time and if I tell him not too, he says his son says it’s fine. Or if I don’t want them holding her, they’ll say their son has given them permission so they will etc it has been a thousand things. I’m wfh but supposed to be returning part time in office but know I don’t have the trust to do so.
Do I have no say? I feel so trapped. My husband has stated repeatedly he doesn’t care about my feelings on it and his parents should be able to do whatever they want with their grandchild. Honestly, I want to leave him but cannot imagine co parenting with him (and his parents) it would be torturous.

You haven’t said how old your baby is but you need to think of a plan to exit.
Sounds like a controlling and disrespectful situation and no disregard for you.
If you are in a home where you don’t have a voice ever - your baby will grow to pick up on this and see you physically but will grow to interpret that you don’t have any say in the home.
Co-parenting with him will be a job but living like this forever - it’s worse!

Thats tricky without knowing the specifics. The dynamic sounds really unhealthy though. However unfortunately she is both of your child, so you can't just decide how you want things to be... even if you're right!
I guess check in with yourself. Are the boundaries you are setting reasonable or based in PPA/OCD/PPD ? Is he unwilling to compromise or are you or both of you? Tbh if he's saying he doesnt care about your feelings he sounds like a pretty sh*tty partner... even if you're being super unreasonable thats a really horrible thing to say. Coparenting might be your only choice.

I can’t begin to imagine how uncomfortable you feel. Grandparents should respect your wishes & boundaries and so should your husband regardless if he doesn’t agree with your boundaries, ultimately he’s putting his parents feelings before yours.
If people don’t respect my boundaries they don’t get the privilege to be present unfortunately 🤷🏼♀️
Mums know best, if you want to leave you should 100% leave!! The thought is scary but you need to put your baby & you first.
Hope you’re ok 💘💘

I honestly felt broken while reading your text . It s so unfortunate that 90 percent of men are like that when it comes to their parents. They would also prefer to follow their parents rather than agreeing with u as the wife to create a peaceful and happy home . I think it s because most men were never thought to be emotionally intelligent while growing up so when they get into relationships and end up in marriage, the woman is always ready to leave her past things just to follow the hushands but this is never the same for men. They would rather please everyone except of you that you re living with them. I cant tell u to leave him because with this kind behaviour u would really need to be courageous because that family would let u pass through things and even if you decide to coparent and leave him still the issue might be worse because definitely the child would be spending days with the dad and he can choose to take her to the parents or dince they re living together, the parents will definitely be in the

The parents will definitely be in the picture and u wouldnt know what they did for your child like now u can see whatever they are doing and saying . So i will suggest before u leave if u decide to, detach your feelings from this family, gather enough money that can sustain u nd the child incase ur husband refuse to take responsibility when u go . And think about urself and the child. Forget about them and live happily. If u believe in God too u can pray and ask God to protect u and thr child even when u re not around her . May God strengthen u in this difficult situation .
