To think this is an overreaction

[Mara1109]

Hello , My lg is 2 days old , got out of hospital today but not before a spat with another lady on the ward. Her 4 year old son had come over to look at the baby , he went to stroke her face but he had quite sharp nails so I moved his hand to her hand and said 'alright lovey be gentle with the baby I'm sure your mummy will agree' to which he just gets down and plays on the floor. She started going off you know he was just being nice no need to tell him off. I told her I wasn't and I was just asking him to be careful. We traded numbers in the hospital and all after noon all I've got is ,
My son is too scared to come near my baby now
You are so mean to little kids
You know you let your kids stroke the babies face , etc.

AIBU to think this is an overreaction

Yep, that's an over reaction.

Blame it on the fact that she's probably exhausted after having her baby, and forget it. She should have intervened anyway, it's rude to let a four year old handle somebody else's newborn baby without asking first.

It sounds like an overreaction.

Don't keep her number. Block and delete. You don't need to be exposed to her drivel.

Congratulations on your new baby.

He got closer than he would have to my newborn!

Just block her and forget it.

Congratulations on your new baby.

You've both just had babies and I can imagine are both more emotional than normal. She could be feeling sensitive, or maybe your tone of voice was sharper than you in intended. Who knows? Try not to let it get to you and enjoy your baby

Really? How odd.

She's nuts. Delete and block.

Fuck if i would have let a random 4yo touch my baby at 2 days old!

I'm amazed she let him wander into your 'space' tbh, let alone think you should let him touch her!

Block her.

Block her number

Block her and forget her

You don't need that shit when you have a newborn (or ever really)

Eh? Why would you give her your number?

Forget all about her and enjoy your new baby

Block the woman. You don't need that shit in your life.

I'm very confused ... why would you give her your number?

Thanks , have her my number as we had gotten friendly

Block her!
She shouldn't have even let her child go over to your newborn.
She's on one texting you that drivel.

Just delete and block as others have said, you did the right thing op your baby comes first , the other child will soon forget if he hasn't already , anyway there is nothing to forget it was nothing don't let it upset you , Congratulations on the baby too
