NC for this!
I recently had a newborn baby, and we are just ready for visitors. Today a friend came with her DC who is around 2, and it was so awful and I feel guilty.
Her DC was very tired as didn’t have his nap, and for a good 20-30 minutes was SCREAMING the entire house down. The neighbours also heard. My newborn was fast asleep and woke up very upset and wouldn’t calm. My friend kept trying to calm her son/talk to him/rock him but he wasn’t behaving. I kept saying that my newborn is very uncomfortable and eventually I took him to the kitchen. My friend was showing no signs of wanting to go and just kept staying.
eventually I asked her if she would leave please as my newborn is very upset from the loud noise. Was that really rude of me? She’s been ignoring me since. Her DC was screaming so loudly and surely she should’ve known that this isn’t right for a tiny baby to be around? Also the fact that in my own home I had to go to another room.
she seemed very annoyed when she left. I know I am hormonal but now she’s ignoring me and I feel like I’ve lost a friendship but I had to do what was right for my little baby, and having her child screaming wasn’t right.
