The first few weeks after giving birth can be difficult, and not every new mom feels up to house guests.

If you had a newborn baby, would you want extended family dropping by for a visit, or would you prefer to wait until you had more time to recover and adjust to life as a parent?

This woman was 6 weeks postpartum when her aunt planned to visit, but she really didn’t want her aunt to visit.

Was she wrong to tell her not to come?

AITAH for not wanting my aunt to visit me and my baby?

One of my aunts just decided she wanted to come visit me.

She wanted to see my 6-week-old baby this weekend.

She told my mom about her plan, and not me directly.

I heard that even my uncle and cousins would come along.

This woman told her mom she doesn’t want her aunt’s family to visit yet.

I told my mom I didn’t really want to have that many people over since I was only 6 weeks postpartum, the house is a mess and I’m easily overstimulated.

And that side of my family is, well, overstimulating.

Her aunt replied with a passive-aggressive comment.

My aunt replied, passive aggressively. “Well, it’s just a shame we won’t get to know her.”

Yes, they won’t get to meet her at 6 weeks, but that doesn’t mean they “won’t know her.”

She had a traumatic birth.

For more context, I had a traumatic birth, and my baby had a long NICU stay.

She had little chances of survival, but she ended up perfectly fine and healthy.

She was a true miracle.

She felt that everyone was disregarding her feelings.

Now, everybody acts like she’s the second coming of Christ.

They all act entitled to her.

But they are completely disregarding mama’s feelings and needs.

I guess I just wanted to vent.

Was she wrong for telling the family not to visit?

Let’s see what others have to say about this on Reddit.

Here’s a valid point from this person.

Short and simple.

This person shares a similar experience.

Nobody is entitled to the baby, says this user.

And lastly, people are calling out the aunt.

“No” is a complete sentence. Period.
