AM I OVERREACTING!!!

Am I overreacting or what? Im down trying to get back on my feet, currently staying with a family member. I have a two month old baby and my family member just walk right up and take her out of my arms, umm excuse me if I am bonding with my child, who do you think you are too come up taking her out of my arms without asking. Sometimes she even says give her to me, am I overreacting or not? I just find this extremely rude!

You may be trying to get on your feet and living in your family members house but you just had a baby what do ppl expect ya know and thats what familys for right? Just bc its their house is no excuse for them to act like the higher power or think they can just walk all over you and especially rip your baby from your arms! Thats more than rude thats just plain evil! Like who the **** does that? If your still not in the position to get out of there just yet you really need to stand up for yourself. Do it for your baby. Bonding time is so important for them at that stage. Tell your family member that and how you would be happy to let them have time with your baby as long as they ask not just pull him/him away. If they dont respond well then try to get out of there as soon as you can. Bc thats not the right family vibe you want you or your child to be around. You deserve to be surrounded by encouragment, happiness, ppl that dont think theyre better than you, or judge you and love. Dont take anything less than that!

Yea,  my MIL 5 year old would twist my baby's arm and always try to hurt her!  They wouldn't do nothing but yell and act like its my daughters fault for being around him!  So when they weren't around I would I would do what ever he did to my baby back!  + spank him he's big enough to know better!!!

I know how you feel I lived with my MIL for a long time and my daughter is 10 months old and is crawling and pulling on all the furniture she can!  One day my MIL comes home with a GLASS TV stand for the living room! Which we were sleeping in!  Ugh ppl have no respect! So glad I moved in my on place the 1st of April!
