Eh, in this case I’d risk speaking up out of concern for my sister, but you have to respect and accept whether he chooses to act on your concerns or not.

Honestly, at this point her husband and all of you need to push back a little especially him because this is his child.

She may have some post partum anxiety he should go to the pediatrician visits and bring up concerns regarding the baby. He can also contact her doctor and mention he has some concerns about ppa.


But he should take the baby for walks and visits.

If she was my sister, and you were me, I would have an honest convo with her, devil take it all, but my sister knows that I am that kind of an honest person and that I am worried for her. She might be mad at me for a few days, but would realize that I mean well and would listen to me.
Anxiety manifests as the need to be in control of every thing and when it becomes constrictive or harmful to others in her circle such as her DH and her kid it should be acted upon.
If not acting is in fact, harming your own sister, as she becomes more and more unreasonable in her actions, as there is no science behind her craziness now, covid is not a danger to her child in any substantial way, particularly not outdoors, it is time to take action.
If her kid is less than two months old, ease up on her, and hope that she will sort herself out and that this is just early post birth craziness.

Stop with diagnosing strangers. Sister is right. Op probably was always a bully and sister had enough.

Oh goody! We found another person that suffers from severe covid anxiety and refuses treatment while being convinced that she is the messiah of righteousness and a morally superior person!
Hint, you are not, you need help and last year.

But why OP is getting so worked up about not being able to hold this baby is beyond me. And OP is backtracking a little and now expressing worry about the sister “missing out” on time with the family (missing out in quotes because I sure wouldn’t think I was missing out if I avoided OP’s company), but OP’s whole issue started with a hissy fit about not being allowed to hold a one-month old infant during a pandemic. That’s far more bizarre than not allowing somebody to hold an infant at this stage of the pandemic.

If OP’s sister were here I’d tell her “get some help for your anxiety.” But since it’s only OP, I’ll just say to OP that you need to learn to respect boundaries, mind your own business, and stop making yourself the center of the universe.

Honestly this is the best response to the thread.

Its not anxiety and what treatment? Its common sense.

I have zero interest in seeing my sister covid or not but covid has been a good excuse. She's mean and nasty and I got tired of her non-sense. You sound like someone who is best to terminate a relationship with too. Life is to short to put up with nasty people like you.

OP is not being careful with covid. Even vaccinated you can get and spread covid. Therefore OP puts the family, especially young child at risk.

Maybe the husband doesn't like OP either.

You just convinced me that you have no common sense and are in fact suffering from sever covid anxiety. Pray tell what is OP doing that is so risky in present day? We can all see that you are using covid as an excuse to call people as mean and nasty, but truly you are the one that sounds....mean and n

The fact that you can't drop this indicates that you are not well. But, if often mentally ill persons do not realize they are mentally ill. rather you think are the only right one!

The fact that op, if she isn't a troll, can't drop this indicates she is very not well. The fact that you fall for this schtick says you are kind of dumb.

It’s not about the adults having extra immunities because they just got omicron (which honestly goes against your implication that everyone is perfectly safe because they got a shot) and therefore they probably won’t die. It’s a newborn who has not been vaccinated being around people who are carrying the virus.

I say all that as someone who has been mask free since May of 2020 (I live on a barrier island with little governance) and who held a 4 day old newborn last week. What mom says is what mom says. Back off.
