Dreading Easter Weekend :(

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

So, DH & I are going to his home town for Easter. Both his mom's side of the family & his dad's side of the family (grandparents, aunts/uncles, & cousins) live there. His parents are divorced so we hop from place to place while in town. All of his friends are there also & our church family (we lived there for 2 years after we got married). So needless to say DS will be passed around like a "hot potato" while we're visiting. Just for the fact that there are SO many relatives/friends that haven't seen him yet. Add the fact that I DREAD seeing my MIL, she gets under my skin SOOOOO bad!!!!

GRRRR... I'm really, really, really trying to be positive about this weekend but gosh dang it, I hate seeing my baby passed around! :( I also hate seeing MIL stare at him for hours at a time, & go out to smoke then come back in & want to hold DS more UGH!

Anyone else feel this way?

    You don't have to pass him around and if you do pass around the hand sanatizer first.   I always say something like "If you wash your hands, you can hold the baby".

    You can also just keep him locked in his car seat for people to peak at or if he's asleep on your shoulder - you wouldn't pass him around.  

     Good Luck this weekend!

    ME! ME! We are going to visit my boyfriend's family this saturday for Easter. The passing around my baby like a doll is what I am dreading also. I know it sounds petty but I can't help feeling this way. I am so overly protective of her and I do not want all his young cousins touching her with their dirty hands.

    I guess I just have to suck it up.

    Ugh, I'm with you, sista. That's why we're skipping Easter with the family this year... but we have a 1 week old so people aren't giving us a hard time about it... if she was older, I'm sure we'd be being pushed into it. Blegh.

    Wear a sling - that's my plan, at least.  Except I have to deal with two full weeks of this, including my MIL, mother, and two uninvited and unwanted guests (two teenage brothers, who should be in school since they're failing, but whatever).
