Just wondering what other people think. We have relatives who we don’t see very often (maybe every couple of months). When they see DD they are very intense and intrusive of her personal space and aren’t satisfied just letting her play. They want to hold her, touch her, pick her up, follow her around etc. This is something we’ve raised with them and they have tried to back off a bit with that. She comes to people in her own time and normally when they feign disinterest.
The other thing they do is whenever she does something slightly ‘interesting’ they are all on their phones videoing or taking photos. So she’ll be crawling upstairs and there’s 3 of them scrambling after her trying to film. It was the same when she was newborn and I hated it, because I was maybe 4 days postnatal cuddling my baby and she’d open her eyes and they’d all swarm around with their phones.
Are we being PFB or would it annoy other people? Because we don’t see them that often I know we can just suck it up, but my husband is worried it will mean our DD doesn’t enjoy their company because she may eventually start feeling self-conscious.
