Hi all
I recently gave birth to a beautiful baby girl but unfortunately have had some issues with the dreaded in-laws.
We've not been on speaking terms for a couple of months due to MIL's refusal to not smoke near me whilst I was pregnant but we put all that aside so that we could be a family and she sort of apologised - she's a very selfish woman who has been very hurtful towards me in the past.
Anyway a few days ago when my lg was 2 days old my MIL and FIL came to visit for the first time. She wanted to hold her almost straight away which I accepted and just had to grin and bear it really. A few minutes later she asked my FIL (a very shy and timid old man) whether he wanted a hold to which he nervously agreed. I have nothing against him but he's always been a bit strange and awkward.
So my MIL placed my lg on FIL's chest but like a complete idiot he didn't support her head and so it flopped forward and hit his chest with a thud. I'm absolutely fuming about this and will definitely not be letting him hold her again but my OH thinks that it was nothing and that I'm overreacting.
My baby didn't wake up or even stir so it obviously didn't bother her but I'm so angry and upset over it.
I suffer with anxiety and seem to be 'overprotective' but I don't know what to think. Am I being unreasonable?
