In healthy relationships, boundaries are like fences that keep us safe and comfortable. But sometimes, people might not respect those boundaries, which can lead to uncomfortable situations. It’s important to speak up and assert our limits to protect ourselves.
In today’s story, a new mom faced similar challenges with her husband’s grandparents. Ever since her baby was born eight months ago, life had been tough. At a family gathering, OP’s husband’s grandmother boldly took the baby from her arms without asking, then passed the baby around like a toy. OP felt a mix of emotions, mainly anger and disgust.
After a moment of reflection, OP decided to take a stand. She politely reminded her husband’s grandmother that others deserved a chance to hold the baby too. Now, she’s wondering if she handled the situation correctly. Scroll down below to read the story!

1. Let’s find out!
2. You know someone isn’t right for your child when you have to set boundaries for them and they keep breaking them.
3. One time at a gathering, OP’s husband’s grandmother approached her while she was holding her 8-month-old and snatched it right away.
4. She took the baby to random people showing it off and letting them hold it.
5. OP decided she had had enough and approached the grandma taking her baby back saying others deserved a chance to hold the baby as well.
6. This really pissed the grandmother off who didn’t know how to react to this newly set boundary.
7. The matter was taken to the courts of the AITA community.

Here’s what the AITA community had to say about this:
8. Just do not let that woman walk all over you, OP.

9. And they still don’t understand them because they never want to.
10. As simple as that.
11. I like the ring of that name. So suitable.

NTA. Go no-contact with that woman. Do not let her near your baby. She is kind of crazy. Such an act would annoy any mother. I am outraged right now. I think OP needs to view the legal aspects as well to make sure this doesn’t happen again because now that you have set a boundary, the grandma would be motivated to break it. This may potentially result in her stealing the baby. Anything is a possibility in this cruel world. Just be careful OP.

17. Entitled people don’t even think once and you are saying she will think twice?

18. It is a baby, not a prop or a game prize.

19. I think what were previously set were also hard boundaries but they got shattered. OP needs to think of something smart to get this matter dusted once and for all.
20. She better not complain then.
