[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is the is a question 
The newborn will be there another day

You made a commitment OP stop being ridiculous

If this is the only day you can visit the newborn then don’t because that’s not a relationship that’s a manipulation

This is my read as well. OP seems to not want to answer questions which would clarify. That is, is newborn baby in hospital, or at home with the new mom? Is this a first baby for this mom, and is the mom at home with a partner who can help?

I would kindly explain that I can’t come on that day but will be there the next, and will help out etc.  I am done with being manipulated by people, and this sounds just like that to me with conflicting demands. One kid has been on good terms with you and is a reasonable human- respect how wonderful that is, and prioritize them.[/quote]

The a mom and baby were still in the hospital at the time of the ask. No medical issues. There is a husband in the picture who is a great guy and has time off work. [/quote]

I’m the PP above who said that this entire family is clearly a family of adult toddlers, and this doesn’t change anything for me.

There is no time just like the immediate post-partum period for women, and a woman’s own mother is going to understand more than even a great guy of a husband. It is a uniquely female experience. This isn’t about the newborn. It is about the mom. Passive-aggressive sulker sister should have the brains to understand that. But this family is clearly filled with ridiculous people across the board so common sense is in short supply. [/quote]

No sweetheart your entire family does not have to capitulate to your whims because you had a baby. Especially when you and baby are fine. Especially when it's not your first child. Especially when you have already promised to go to the other grandchild birthday [/quote]
