Oh man! So I just had my first baby and we went to large family gathering. And my mom decided to pass the baby around to rando aunties and I lost my ish. At first I asked my mom nicely to stop handing him to randos, but she totally didn’t respect that. So then I had to yell at my mom, cuz let’s be honest here, once you have your own kid you’re full blown mama bear and it doesn’t matter who’s helping with that, whether it’s Nani or not, like I was not happy with that situation. The worst part was that my mom didn’t care about the boundaries I was trying to set. Like yo, it’s my kid. And of course she hated the fact that I said “it’s my kid”. And then she’s like ok then you take care of him, like lady, yes, I’ve been taking care of him, that’s why I don’t want him passed around like a hot potato. Like desi people are literally the worst when it comes to new babies and boundaries, so my advice, only 4 months in, is legit stand your ground when it comes to visitors and how/who is holding your babe. Great episode!
Recently started listening to your podcasts. Love you girls. However, can I just say that it is OK if you have to ask your husband to help? Yes, he should know already but if he doesn't, instead of taking that negatively there's no harm in communicating what you need clearly. Just my two cents. Again. Love you girls
