So I just had a baby a couple of weeks ago. So far my parents, sister and mil have seen baby and now we want to wait a bit longer for anyone else to see baby because 1. I haven't had a rest since baby has been born. I've been quite unwell since the birth too and 2. Covid.
Anyway earlier this year when we announced the pregnancy my husbands aunt took the hump because we didn't tell her directly and she heard it on social media from our announcement. We are not close to her so didn't feel the need to call her personally (as we didn't with my extended family either). She didn't bother to congratulate us at all throughout the entire pregnancy and openly went out of her way to stop talking to me because of it. Fast forward to the birth and she finally congratulates us but then writes a status on social media about how certain people must not trust her around children. Her friends commented and it was clear she had been bitching about us to her friends because after 10 days we hadn't let her see the baby.
Aibu to think first of all why should we anyway considering you didn't bother before she was born? And 2. Why would a family member you're not close to expect to see the baby so soon when some grandparents don't even get to see their grandkids that quick?! And 3. You've been slating us so I definitely don't want to go out of my way to let you see my baby now.
I am too old for drama so haven't said anything and I also finally get along with mil so don't want to cause an argument.
