Aita for setting firm boundaries with extended family
So little back ground, my husband's side of the family is notoriously pushy and very opinionated on virtually any topic to begin with so the fact I had to set boundaries isn't overly shocking. Anywho I'm due just under a month before 2 major weddings are happening for people in our lives. One being my best friends wedding the other being my husband's brothers wedding. Kicker is they are quite litterally back to back. Needless to say it makes my life difficult with having a newborn at that time. I pretty much figured everything out for my friends wedding and she was more than happy to accommodate my situation. For my brother in laws wedding I told them I'd probably only stay for the ceremony and possibly the supper just because it's going to be alot back to back and since I'm in the wedding party of my friends wedding I will need rest and downtime with a newborn and they were super understanding. Here where my issue starts. Even tho I've made arrangements and talked with the people actually getting married our family seems to have their own input and opinions about what I should do. For example they all expect me to pass around my child like a prize chicken for everyone to hold and I shot it down. It's hard enough getting out of the house less than a month post partum let alone willingly exposing my child to 2 big crowds of people I stated to the family that I will be the only one holding and touching my baby and the only exception will be grandparents and if that can't be respected I won't go. This caused uproar and apparently im absolutely crazy for doing this. As a nurse I know the risks with exposing a new born at such a young age without an immune system and since I'm in a tough situation I'm going to bubble my child as much as I can and hopefully reduces their chances of getting sick. I don't feel I'm asking for the world it's litterally my baby. All I'm asking is for everyone to chill until it's been 8 weeks for baby and my comfort. Never said no one cant see him or her at the wedding just look dont touch its that simple and when im ready people can hold and play with the baby all they want. Aita?
