Thanksgiving 🦃 or Stay home 🏠
So it is RSV season I am very hesitant on bringing my son around my family.. they called me a bad mom as a joke because i didn’t bring him on veterans day for a family bbq and they want me to bring him on thanksgiving. One of my aunts kissed my baby on the side or head near his ear and i was very very upset and i had told everyone who sees my son
“PLEASE DON’T KISS MY SON or I will have to detach him or take him away”
She was like “Its not like I have herpes..” and I was in shock I know thats common unfortunately but its not even that. Its like he doesn’t have a strong immune system yet.. anyone have any advice I have old school aunts who think kissing is still okay..

We still did it. We don’t live by family so we only get to see them during holidays and what not. So last year we still went. People wash their hands and we had them not kiss baby. And if I felt uncomfortable I’d just wear or hold baby. But for us it’s still worth it to go
Second baby wearing. This way you can prevent the unwanted kissing and touching and at the same time reduce risk of the baby being overwhelmed That could be a good solution if you do want to go, which you don’t have to

I would just stay home if you know they aren’t going to respect your boundaries. But I’d let them all know the reasoning is because nobody is going to listen to your boundaries. You’re a GOOD mom obviously
