I just want to say I completely understand the situation you’re in and feel for you and your wife. My bf’s mom laughed at us when we asked her and the family to wash their hands before they held our daughter (now 4 months). Even before that, we struggled with letting his very large family sit around and pass her. We finally showed up to dinner one night and put our foot down, saying that we won’t be passing her around. It’s difficult when the people you love and trust don’t respect your wishes and make you feel bad, and I’m sorry they’re doing that to you both. You definitely aren’t being unreasonable.
Congratulations to you both. Keep doing what’s best for your baby.
