To HATE my mother kissing my baby

[yadayadayesokay]

My DD is 3 months old. I didn’t think I would have a problem with people kissing her and I generally don’t. We have had the usual large amount of visitors to come and meet and of course hold and kiss my DD. Not a problem whatsoever. But then it comes to my mother and I just can’t stand it. She doesn’t just kiss her a couple of times like other people, she will SMOTHER her in kisses constantly, all over. Hair, head, forehead, cheeks, nose, hands (which I particularly hate because they go straight in her mouth) opens up her onesie to blow raspberries on her belly, ‘eats’ her feet. I know there’s nothing out of the ordinary here but for me it’s just the amount that she does it. The kissing her all over her face all the time is how myself and my DP kiss her, as she’s our baby! I just wish she would calm down a bit. I suspect most others wouldn’t have a problem with this. AIBU?

Be thankful that your mum is here to love and kiss your baby. My mum died 2 years before I had my son and I would give anything to have seen her kiss and cuddle him. Babies bring lots of pleasure to lots of different people, it sounds like your baby will grow up surrounded by love

I'm with Troels

Chill. She’ll calm down around the time your DD gets her first stinking cold.

YANBU. That is gross. Have only read the first two pages but hope you found a way to stand your ground!

Also I'm sorry but it's out of order when posters try lay the guilt on with 'you should accept anything from her because you're lucky she's still alive, unlike my mum', how on earth does that help? My mum is dead and I wouldn't even think for a second to use that as an argument for a totally separate person in a completely different scenario to tolerate something they're not comfortable with :/ yeah my mum is dead but if she was alive I wouldn't be tolerating this!
