Sadly your parents dont seem to be in any way supportive. They seem quite negative and nasty so i would just stick to your guns. They dont get to visit before bub is fully vaxed. Its their choice.

That was our only rule…no vax..no visits .. lucky everyone understood thay

After the way she explained her parents feel then I would just say don’t come see the baby ever if you wanted me to abort it.

This young Mum is not being unreasonable or selfish – her parent however, are.

Not the nicest of parents to say you should have aborted your child and for saying you’ll be a terrible Mother. I’d stick to my guns and not allow them any visitation unless they get vaccinated. You are not overreacting and I’d have nothing more to do with them. Sounds like the best ones are your in-laws. Don’t let them upset you and just enjoy your pregnancy with your fiance’ and his parents. Your so called parents can meet him after he is born and had all of his vaccines.

Asking you why you didn’t abort your child is disgraceful! They should be supporting you and vaccine aside, they don’t deserve to see their grandchild.

Screw your parents! The fact that you aren’t allowing them to see your child without getting the whooping cough vaccine shows that you will be an amazing mother!!!

OMG, I am so sorry for your parents behaviour. This is just apalling. You need to concentrate on your pregnancy, your mental health and your physical health and that means steering clear of your family. That’s okay. More families than you know are actually dysfunctional. YOu are blessed with a pregnancy and want to deliver a healthy baby, devoid of stress, etc. You get to set the boundaries. This is just the start — if they won’t listen to you on this, clearly they won’t listen to you on other issues. Stand your ground.

I think as a parent your choices should be respected because you’re just trying to be cautious around a newborn

That’s totally fair! We had the same rule until our baby was old enough to be vaccinated for it. So anyone who didn’t want it had to wait!

Good on you! Stand up for your baby

Good on to this Mama for looking out for her child & trying to put it’s heath & safety first. I don’t think she’s being unreasonable at all.
We asked our families to do the same before the arrival of our kids & thankfully everyone agreed.
I think these grandparents sound entitled & controlling. Wanting a baby aborted now saying they’ll demand to visit & see their grandchild.

The selfishness and entitlement of some people. If you don’t want to get immunized – and protect your grandaughter – then don’t get in a big huff if the parents don’t want you to see them. Whooping Cough can kill babies, why is that so difficult for them to understand? The mind boggles.

Immunisation is on one side and the overall behaviour is another. I mean you are so keen on meeting your grandchild but you were the one who asked why she didn’t abort? Daughter’s parents plays such important role during these times as usually she is more comfortable and is pampered by her parents. Neways, I don’t think she is selfish at all. All the best girl!!

The grandparents are being totally selfish – whooping cough can be a killer ….

Whooping cough for little bubs can be very serious indeed. As mum, it’s totally okay and necessary for her to advocate on behalf of her little one. If the grandparents dont like it, it is their choice.

I truly did not know that adults could get a Whooping Cough vaccination must look into that one for myself thank you

The issue here isn’t the vaccine, it’s the parents complete lack of respect for their daughter. You are not in the wrong here. In fact I would go so far to say that you would be better off cutting contact with these toxic people. I know they are your parents but they don’t deserve a place in your life if they are treating you so badly.
Congratulations on your bub xxx

The grandparents are definitely the selfish ones. Do they not understand that Whooping cough can cause pneumonia, seizures, brain damage and death in Babies & young Children. Maybe they need educating.
I am a strong believer that if something is preventable take action. In this case a vaccine.

I can see both sides. Why do we now need to get the Whooping cough injection? This was not a requirement years ago. Regarding the other issues I do not agree with the mother at all. Good luck with everything.
